> The situation could change in the next hour, but right now, six teams, Lidl-Trek, Canyon SRAM, EF Education-Oatly, AG Insurance Soudal, Visma-Lease a Bike and Team Picnic PostNL, will be technically disqualified from the race ahead of the TT after a disagreement with the UCI over new rules surrounding the use of rider tracking systems within the race.

> It appears the argument was about the use of the new safety tracking system, with the UCI imposing new regulations on the teams without proper consultation. The teams tried to find a compromise and asked that the UCI appoint one rider from each team to use the equipment, but the UCI refused to select the riders and then required the teams to fit the technology to the bikes themselves.

per dnlbenson. UCI is insisting they install the devices, teams want to either install the devices themselves or have the UCI be liable if any damages happen if they are installed improperly and cause chutes/bike damage/etc. great trial run guys can't wait for WC.
