No surprise there. I think Cookson faces an uphill battle on this and I imagine ASO are going to have a strong influence on the final chosen candidate. I won't mention stalking horses.

2016 has been a year of real progress.

It've not read it yet. It doesn't appear to be exactly gripping.
How would you know without reading it.....?

What an odd question. I skimmed through it of course.

Maybe I'll give it a proper read sometime.
It's not odd at all. In business (you know, life after the peloton) one thing that has to happen is reading more than just a summary before commenting. The devil is always in the detail. Which is why I now have a habit of actually reading reports properly so any comment which may be asked for is made from a position of detailed knowledge.

In which case, thank me for making it available to you.

The BBC now reporting it; only 8 months after l'Equipe...

He's ASO's man isn't he. Practising his catty'ness, Cookson said

"I note that so far David Lappartient has not set out very much detail in his plan or any vision he may have beyond his well known personal ambition for the role. I look forward to debating what matters for the future of cycling over the coming months."

Miaoow!

Still, BC should throw a bit more money at Cookson's election.

Incidentally, anyone know what Cookson's vision for the sport is?
