At every UCI ProTour race, just as at the Vattenfall Cyclassics, the 18 professional teams have an obligation to participate. Furthermore, the organizers can award invitations (Wild Cards) to teams from the second category, if they are integrated into the UCI’s Biological Passport Program, which is already compulsory for the pro teams.
