I have not raced for a long time, but when I used to renew my license on USA cycling, you have to check a box verifying you have read the upcoming year's rules and that you agree to follow them.
I know, I was just making it clear that the UCI rules leave no wiggle room on this. They very specifically say the rider is responsible for making sure the bike is in compliance (i.e. my mechanic did it is no excuse) They also make it very clear that the team is responsible for ensuring the team members will not break this rule.
