DH Protective Clothing Requirement Update - Long Sleeve Shirts Now Mandatory

On 1 January 2023 an update to UCI Regulation 4.3.011 came into effect that
changed the protective clothing requirements for downhill events. The updated
regulation now mandates the wearing of long sleeved shirts and introduces
requirements for leg covering/protection.

The impact of the change to the CNZ/MTBNZ MTB Regulations is that long sleeved
shirts are now mandatory for all riders (previously senior riders could wear
short sleeve shirts with elbow protection). The leg protection rules are
essentially the same as the existing NZ requirements. 

The updated CNZ/MTBNZ Protective Clothing Requirements are available here.
