Wildcards
In order to qualify for the 2012 UWCT Final that will be staged in Pietermaritzburg from 23rd – 26th August 2012, riders need to qualify through one of the 15 x UWCT qualification events that are staged around the world. Riders in South Africa and surrounding states were fortunate enough in 2011 to be able to take part in the 2011 Msunduzi Road Challenge – the only official qualification event for the 2012 UWCT Final on African Continent. This event was extensively advertised and promoted through various mediums and formats in South Africa and the top 25% of the field from this event has automatically qualified for the 2012 UWCT Final and have been notified of their status already.

Therefore, if participants from South Africa who wish to now compete in the 2012 UWCT Final and who did not compete in the official qualification event here in South Africa, or in any of the other qualification events on the UWCT calendar, the opportunity may have passed them by for the 2012 edition. There are still UWCT qualification events taking place in other parts of the world and their dates and locations can be found at the official UWCT website at www.uciworldcyclingtour.com

However, the UWCT organisers have granted the LOC some wildcard entries into the 2012 UWCT Final for those people that under exceptional circumstances may still have an opportunity to compete in the event. The wildcard system is a privilege extended by the UCI and is not a right and should not be construed as such.

The process to apply for a wildcard entry is as follows:

• Applicants must hold a valid Cycling SA licence
• Interested applicants who wish to be considered for one of the wildcard entries need to send their application in writing via email to Danielle Davids at the Cycling SA office – events@cyclingsa.com .
• Applicants need to provide their name, age, gender, whether they wish to compete in the time trial or road race or both, and what the motivation for their inclusion is
• All applications should be with Danielle by the close of business on 6th June and no late applications will be considered.
• The selection of the successful applicants will be done by Friday 8th June and people will be notified by email, and the lists will also be published on this website and Cycling SA ( www.cyclingsa.com ) websites
• A reserve list of people will also be published over and above the successful applicants
• Successful applicants will have until the end of June 2012 to complete their entry forms and to pay in full
• If they do not complete this process by this time, people on the reserve list will be allowed to enter in their place.
