In many countries around the world, you need a certificate from a doctor to take part in a cycling race. This "medical certificate" confirms that you are healthy and can take part in cycling marathons or races.

We offer you an international form and a special document for Italy to download. You can then go to your family doctor or a sports doctor to have the tests carried out to confirm your fitness for sport. In some countries, the form must not be more than one year old.

Italy is a special case: even a medical certificate does not always allow participation. Some organisers require membership of an association. There are also very strict legal requirements for medical confirmation. According to the law, only a sports physician may carry out the examination. A list of sports medicine tests must be completed - including an exercise ECG, a urine test and a spirometry test. In practice, many organisers are not as strict and also accept medical certificates that are not issued exactly in accordance with Italian law.

Important: Please enquire with the organiser beforehand whether the form is sufficient for participation!
