Not as far as I can see (sadly). This is from the Sporting code:
3.24 MINIMUM PRACTICE PERIOD
1. For any race there must be a minimum period for practice on the actual course, the details of which must be stated in the Supplementary Regulations.
And from the Road Race section of the ACU handbook:
CHAPTER 4
PRACTICE
4.1 Time must be put aside for the practice sessions and these must be defined in the Supplementary Regulations for the meeting.
1. Riders will commence practice under the instructions of the Start Officials.
2. The duration of each practice session will commence from the time the pit lane opens and will finish (chequered flag) not less than 10 minutes later.
3. The end of practice will be indicated by the waving of a chequered flag at which time the pit exit will be closed. A rider's time will continue to be recorded until he passes the finish line after the allotted time has lapsed.
4. If practice is interrupted due to an incident or any other reason then a red flag will be displayed at the start line and at marshals posts. All riders must return slowly to the pit lane or as otherwise instructed by the Marshals under the direction of the Clerk of the Course.
5. When the practice is restarted the time remaining will be decided by the Clerk of the Course.
