Cookson has flung his hat into the ring. Didn't see that coming. Doesn't sound like Pat did either.

Excellent - lets hope Cookson is doing this with the same lobbying information as McQuaid and also having established he stands a good chance with the electorate.

Hard to know which thread to link this story to but we already have a few regarding McQuaid so I'm loathe to create another.
Seems like a dossier on McQuaid's with regards to the USPS affair will be presented to the UCI management committee today. Is a no confidence vote on the cards ?

There is a challenge to the Swiss nomination of McQuaid now from within Switzerland.
Also, a road.cc story about Cookson's challenge

EGM tomorrow. No idea what my club are doing re:votes but there has been little public mention of Northern delegates attending.

It could be that club committees are keeping their cards close.

Looks like Phat's free ride is up. Uphill for him from here.

Hope he gets loads of roadrash during his fall...

He'd only deny the roads did anything.

He'd only deny the roads did anything.

I don't know, he's just as likely to start a smear campaign against the road for standing against him.
