UCI Announces 2008 Permanent Career numbers

UCI is pleased to announce the 2008 permanent career numbers for Elite Men and Elite Women. Please see attachment or click on the link below to view the current list of numbers. These numbers must be used at all international BMX events worldwide.

Starting with the season 2006-2007 (from 1 August 2006), the UCI introduced a permanent number system for Elite Men & Elite Women. With this system, riders can choose a “career number”, which they have the exclusive right to use for their entire Elite class career. This will give riders a possibility to market themselves and to give media and spectators an easy way to identify riders. The UCI permanent number system is solely for the Elite Men & Elite Women class, where any rider with an international license rider can choose a permanent career number from 10 to 999. Number 1 – 8 will be reserved and will be assigned to the top 8 finishers in the previous BMX World Championship, and can be used for the upcoming season.

A chosen number will be exclusive for the rider, and cannot be used by any other elite class (including Junior and Cruiser classes). A chosen number will remain as long as the rider receives UCI points during the season, although the number will be assigned to the rider for 2 additional years (without points) before becoming available again.
