Drop-out
2.6.026 A rider dropping out of the race may not compete in any other cycling events for the
duration of the stage race that he abandoned, on pain of a 15 day suspension and a fine
of CHF 200 to 1,000.
After consulting the event directors and the president of the commissaires panel, the UCI
may, however, grant exceptions at the request of a rider and with the agreement of his
sports director.

Nel 2015 a Boonen venne accordata una deroga per partecipare al Giro del Belgio, nonostante quest'ultimo iniziasse quattro giorni prima della fine del Giro.
