    Never needed a BC license
    Never needed a BC license with anything I’ve done in a team car. Maybe the management had that covered.

    Most BC races are covered anyway.

    The money is in endurance racing, which BC has nothing to do with. Calling them the governing body of cycle sport is a bit OTT. The cover certain types of racing. They don’t cover everything and many races are outside of BC regulations.

    I stick with individuals, getting into group/team stuff requires alot more time spent doing things for little money in return. Where as, if you can get a solo rider doing a race. You typically only have 2/3 bikes, They will always be on one unless they are sleeping, always have another ready to go incase that one fails for any reason. The third is just a back up, incase a problem that cannot be solved (frame breakage) so if the chain goes on one bike, stick them on the spare, then fix the broken one.

    You tend to find that most of the time you are lubing and cleaning, not alot of maintenance.

    You want to avoid anything to do with BC. There are loads of hoops to jump through, plus you would have to be part of a team.

    You don’t need a BC license though

    Yes they are interested. That is what I do, already got quite a number of bookings for next year, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, USA.

    You need to get in touch with riders in your local area to get started, it is totally different from doing neutral service. One day races are not going to need anything really. It is the endurance side of racing I concentrate on. Mountain bike 24hr events and long distance road stuff.

    Apart from the Iglinsky brothers, all the rest have been part of the (now disbanded – so Vino says) Continental team….

    The Astana BePink Womens team have dropped the Astana for next year and back to being BePink, it seems like there are alot of people wanting to distance themselves from this mess…

    Really, what does your licence say?

    My BC licence has a UCI code and I’m registered with the UCI.

    Local teams and riders can enter UCI 2.2 events – not only UCI teams (by which I assume you mean World Tour, Pro-Continental and Continental).

    In fact I’m doing one next week.

    My license says nothing, I haven’t held a BC license since I was a teen. But you said a UCI Race License, I’m sure that is a different beast to a BC License with a UCI code on it. To get a full UCI Race License. I thought you have to be with a UCI team, yes a WT, Pc or C

    He didn’t submit an application to have a team next season, but with him off to Mclaren (most likely) it could be a nice tie in with Specialized…

    Unfortunately a GP’s medical cert wouldn’t work in Italy. I know people who have gone with that. It is fine for UK events and some on the continent.
