TECHNICAL GUIDE (update 27.05.16)

To enter the 2016 European Championships, qualification rules apply. The UEC allow each National Federation to enter 16 riders per class. There is no obligation to fill all 16 places.

The qualification rules are: Top 16** from the National Series Standing in the year preceding the event (2015).

**As a number of UK race classes do not align to those of the UEC, the number of places available may be reduced. For example – Boys 16, Male 17-24 and Championship Men all feed into the 17-24 class so the allocation will be split. Please see list of qualified riders.

Any riders who ride “up” an age group who meet the criteria will be listed in their correct license age class.

(Please note: the term National Standing is used to denote points allocated to riders within a particular series. in this instance, the British BMX Series)

Please note; due to the late publication of the 2016 rules and regulations from the UEC, the challenge classes will be subject to a small, unavoidable price increase from the 2nd February.
