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?

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

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.

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

Race specific rules. Oceanside requires it.

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