The regulations of the UCI have been modified at our request, so that there is no restriction on the participation of juniors from the host country. Thus, all Swiss juniors in Gränichen and Muttenz are eligible to start, regardless of UCI points. However, in Haiming (Austria), due to the UCI rules, not all Swiss juniors are eligible to start. As a result, the race for the junior boys and girls will not count towards the total evaluation of the PROFFIX Swiss Bike Cup (void result).
