    If he has an international licence then yes, otherwise i would think not.

    According to British Cycling:
    It is a requirement of UCI that members of British Cycling obtain a letter of authority to race abroad. To qualify for a letter of authority, you must be in possession of a current Full Racing Licence. Requests should be sent with your membership number to events@britishcycling.org.uk

    It is a requirement of UCI that all riders must be covered by adequate medical insurance when racing overseas. While the National Health Service in the UK provides for British riders competing in Britain, it may be necessary for you to take out additional travel insurance to cover you whilst you are racing abroad. For races in Europe, it is strongly advised that riders also carry a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Please refer to the advice above on EHIC cards.

    So looks like they'd need to present their licence and letter of authorisation.

    I've had people with a UK licence race in our CX races with no issue. No letter was requested. I checked with a commissaire and was told that there is some reciprocal agreement. Not sure if there are road restrictions. Best to check direct with CI.
