Eligibility to compete in Australian Championships

We have had a number of issues surrounding rider’s nationality status and how this impacts on eligibility to compete in Australian Championships.  To provide clarification CA has issued a memo addressing this which can be found in full on the CA website.  In summary the memo clarifies that Australian Championships are open to:

1. Australian citizens (Australian passport holders) who hold a current (Gold) CA racing licence or a licence of another UCI affiliated nation with an  ‘ AUS’ international designation
2. Australian residents – this does not include visitors to Australia on work permits, student visas or visitor visas – providing they:
   1. have not ridden for another country in that national team in the preceding two years
   2. have not contested the national championships of another country in the preceding two years
3. Riders representing a State or Territory must have been affiliated with their respective State or Territory for a minimum of two months prior to the Championships.

Transponders

Transponders will be used in the elimination event of the Omnium, these will be collect at registration and return at the completion of the event on Friday night.  For those who do not return their transponder there will be a $100 fine.

Helmets

Aerodynamic helmets used in timed events must comply with international standards approval.
