MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Members, I was delighted to welcome the second UCI Management Committee in Arzon, France, near my hometown Sarzeau, for three days of positive and constructive meetings. Significantly, we discussed and finalised the Agenda 2022 which is based on the five main axes of my campaign manifesto and should provide a concrete strategic plan for the next four years. This will be put to the vote of the National Federations at the 2018 UCI Congress in September.
As you know, the role of women in the world of cycling is one of my priorities and is an essential part of the Agenda 2022 that was discussed. I am delighted that the Management Committee agreed that, from 2019, staff of UCI Women’s Teams will be required to sign a code of conduct aiming to protect riders from harassment. In fact, the UCI is working on a charter to promote equity and equality between men and women in cycling – both on the sporting side and on the governance of our sport. We want to lead by example and aim to ensure that UCI staff – men and women – are on a level playing field when it comes to recruitment, opportunities and salaries.
Furthermore, the Management Committee approved the organisation of the first ever combined UCI World Championships in 2023. Lasting 17 to 19 days, this incredible event will combine the UCI World Championships for several cycling disciplines in one region, uniting 2600 Elite athletes and 6000 amateur cyclists for a true festival and celebration of our sport. It is envisaged to hold the combined UCI Championships every pre-Olympic year from 2023.
Moreover, the authorisation of disc brakes in road and BMX racing as of 1 July this year and the introduction of Alpine Cycling events to the UCI International Mountain Bike Calendar from next year are other initiatives approved by the UCI Management Committee. All these decisions are significant advancements for the development of our sport, which we are continually trying to move forward and improve. I invite you all to read more about the UCI Management Committee meeting, and the decisions made, in this press release we sent out on the final day.
As I have underlined on numerous occasions, the UCI is dedicated to being at the service of its National Federations. The Solidarity and Small Countries Commission has been renamed and is now called “Solidarity and Emerging Cycling Countries” Commission. Its recommendations were also submitted to the Management Committee for validation. In addition, I am always delighted to welcome National Federation’s Presidents and representatives to our headquarters in Aigle, Switzerland. In the last month I’ve had the pleasure of hosting the Presidents of the Argentinian Cycling Union Mr Gabriel Curuchet, of the Myanmar Cycling Federation Mr Khin Maung Win, of the Curaçao Cycling Federation Mr Renny Oehlers and the Estonian Cyclists Union Mr Raivo Rand. It is great to hear how our member Federations are developing cycling in their regions, and I thank you all for your energy and commitment. We are strengthening our International Relations service so that we can better service your needs, so please do not hesitate to contact my Director of Cabinet and International Relations Mrs. Marjorie Guillaume at marjorie.guillaume@uci.ch i
f you have any questions or require advice. Marjorie and her team will be able to point you in the right direction. It was also a pleasure for me at the beginning of the month to receive H.E. Atageldi Haljanov, the Permanent Representative of Turkmenistan to the United Nations Office in Geneva. Turkmenistan was key to the United Nations’ adoption of June 3rd as World Bicycle Day, and I was able to talk to the Geneva representative about future collaboration for mass participation as well as the development of cycling in Turkmenistan. Naturally, the World Bicycle Day celebration was the centre of discussions and I was able to brief him on the activities organised and supported by the UCI for this very significant day for the promotion of the bicycle.
Furthermore, in the beginning of June, during the 2018 UCI BMX World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan, I had the honour to meet the President of the Republic, Mr Ilham Aliyev as well as members of the Azerbaijan Cycling Federation. The discussions were fruitful and encouraging for the future of cycling in this country. I congratulate again on the successful organization of this competition. No doubt that Azerbaijan is now a confirmed cycling territory.
In closing, I would like to remind those National Federations that have not yet done so, to urgently complete the online questionnaire we sent to all of you to obtain information about your activities. This is essential for us to ensure we provide you with the best possible support and service and for the review of the UCI classification system from 2019 to 2023.
And don’t forget to register for the 2018 UCI Congress which will take place on Friday 28 September in Innsbruck, Austria, during the 2018 UCI Road World Championships. Registration forms are available in English, French and Spanish
. Congress is a magnificent occasion for all our National Federations to get together, share information, establish networks and be part of our institution’s most important gathering. On Thursday 27 September we have indeed planned to organise side activities for spouses and hold a UCI Solidarity Conference to provide you with greater details on the process of the UCI Solidary Programme. We will also invite key contacts including members of the Olympic Solidarity Commission and top industry leaders to discuss future collaborations. I hope to see you there.
