UCI “kindly requests” that riders stop using race number sleeves A letter sent to teams racing the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes asked riders to stick to the good old-fashioned method of pinning their number on cycling
, have now asked that all riders competing in this year’s Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes refrain from partaking in the peloton’s latest aero trend: race number sleeves.like the ones produced by NopinzWith road race skinsuits all the rage these days, more and more riders are now electing to forgo that sacred age-old tradition of securing their race number to their back pockets with safety pins, in favour of some extra aero gains.
Written by three-time world time trial champion Michael Rogers, the UCI’s head of road and innovation, the letter “kindly requests” that during all road stages “rider numbers are fixed on the outer layer of the jersey/skinsuit and not placed in pin-less number fixation systems/pockets”. The former Team Sky man also drew attention to the UCI’s rules on race numbers, which stipulate that “no item of clothing may hide the lettering on the jersey or the rider’s identification number, particularly in competition and at official ceremonies”, and that “riders shall ensure that their identification number is visible and legible at all times. The identification number shall be well fixed and may not be folded or altered.
