Some UCI BMX news.

Got this in my email recently

The UCI introduced on 1st August 2006 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. Now for the 4th time, riders are given an opportunity to apply for number not yet occupied. Rider’s which number has expired (not scored any UCI points in the last 2 seasons) will become vacant again. Rider’s may re-apply for their number, although it will be subject to the normal procedure mentioned in the UCI rule book. The National Federation shall submit a list of all their (Elite Men & Elite Women and Juniors moving up) riders born 1991 or earlier, wishing to receive a permanent number before July 15, 2009.
