The national federations are responsible for monitoring compliance with such regulations to the exclusion of UCI. New rule: National federations may impose in their national regulations and under their responsibility the use of other protections than helmets including for international events on their territory. The exception being any junior who chooses to race Elite for the year, as per this new rule (this could apply to Tahnee Seagrave in 2013, for example).
Also note that juniors will have a seeding run to establish the starting order for junior finals, but there will be no points awarded for the seeding run. Vital Analysis: This basically means that the juniors will have a race to themselves, which we understand could be held on Saturdays (where the main Men and Women's Finals are run on Sundays). For world championships and world cup events, separate junior results (apart from exceptions above) will be established. All other junior riders must race the world cup season in the junior category. New rule: At the world championships and the world cup events, separate junior events are organized for men and women juniors (aged 17 and 18).The first 5 men juniors and the first 3 women juniors of the last UCI DHI individual ranking of the preceding year can decide whether they want to race the entire world cup season as elite or junior. There have in fact been several substantial modifications, read on to find out what the changes are and what they mean. The start of the 2013 World Cup is still a good few months away for the downhillers, but now is a good time to have a little look at the rules of the game, and more specifically what has changed for 2013.
