## § 2 Names of races 

1.2.015 The organiser cannot call his event by any name other than that under which it was entered on the calendar. 

1.2.016 The national federation and the UCI may ask that the name of the race be altered, for instance to avoid confusion with another race. 

1.2.017 No race may be designated as a national, regional, continental, world, cup or championship event, save in the cases expressly provided for in the UCI regulations or unless prior and express authorisation has been obtained from the UCI or the competent national federation with respect to races on its national calendar. 

1.2.018 The organiser shall avoid giving the impression that his race has a status that it does not have. 

## § 3 Forbidden races 

1.2.019 No licence holder may participate in an event that has not been included on a national, continental or world calendar or that has not been recognised by a national federation, a continental confederation or the UCI. 

Depending on the circumstances, a national federation and the UCI may grant special exceptions for particular races or events run in its own country. 

Particular races or events may consist of: 

- events organised occasionally only and which do not belong to the organised sports movement; 

- events whose format is not covered by the UCI regulations. 

Any national federation intending to grant a special exception must submit its reasoned request to the UCI administration in the beginning of the season and at least two months before the respective event. The decision of the UCI in this respect is final and shall not be subject to appeal.
