REFORM OF PROFESSIONAL CYCLING 2015 – 2018 (05-09-2014)
Last week a working group has met in Pamplona for the reform of professional cycling. In it, there was a
major disagreement on the 1st division called B. This disagreement has momentarily stopped the process
of the reform and redefinition of the intermediate level of races and teams. This work should be complete
by the end of this year in order to make sure that the reform will be totally approved.
Commented points during the meeting of Aigle on the 5th of September 2014
- We are working with the objective to create a salary cap like it exists in other disciplines, in order to
balance the level of all the teams. There would be sanction fines for the teams that offend and exceed the
cap.
- We are working to define the protocol for the design and the approval of running paths that belong to
the new division
1) there will be a advanced preparation in order to review the conditions of the route and the
logistics
2) the route of the race will be verified by a expert technical delegate (preferably a interdisciplinary
figure that knows cycling from the competition site as well as from the organizing site).
3) a continuous contacts between the riders and the delegate will be stabilized during the races.
4) we will see the harmonization of systems of safety and prevention during the races using the same
methodology for reporting of dangers in Belgium, Poland, Spain, Canada or no matter what
country.
5) a protocol for extreme atmospheric conditions like cold of heat will be realized.
6) a election of delegates for Technical Delegates that will take on these functions will take place.
7) we will try to reduce the charges and the responsibility of the UCI commissioners.
- According to the reform, the Vuelta a España will be reduced to two weeks
- The races of one week of the actual WT will be of one week and will not overlap
The days of the Vuelta lasting 3 weeks may be numbered.
