This isn't a rulebook update, it's the UCI abandoning consensus on a fight it's been losing for years. Governance and data-ownership disputes stalled GPS tracking long before Muriel Furrer died unseen on a descent at the 2024 UCI Road World Championships, and they were still stalling it when Finlay Tarling was killed by an outside motorist at Volta a Portugal. Lappartient now calls an unseen rider "a fundamental danger to the safety of our riders" — language strong enough to justify enforcing tracking over team objections rather than waiting for the collaborative process to work.
