Are race bib numbers on bike required for certain races? Seeing on pros' pics at IMSA and oceanside

Why am I seeing bib numbers during bike at these two races? Also, I didn't see them in 2018 pictures or 70.3 Texas from this year. Are they required for certain races now?

Yes, because oceanside passes through a military base on the bike bibs are required

AFAIK WTC official rules do not require the number bib on the bike. That much being said I have done several WTC races where the required it and it was clearly mentioned during the pre race briefing. Annoying to have that thing flapping around.

So you have a bike number, the number is written on your shoulder and you have to wear a bib?

I haven't done ironman in quite a while, the numbering seems really redundant.

I believe it depends under which union the race is sanctioned, have done half and full i DK and it was not needed, going to spain in 2 weeks and athletes guide says it IS needed.
Do not get why, so damn annoying

At any of the races I do in Europe you have to wear the bib during the bike.

Race specific rules. Oceanside requires it.

I saw quite a few people on the bike leg at 70.3 Mallorca last year without a bib on a race belt - only helmets and the bike itself.

They were a requirement at IMSA, always have been. There is no body marking at IMSA.
