Brian Cookson anyone ??
Fearless Greg Lemond said:...That list of committee members is just laughable. Korea, Egypt, Unified Arabic or what it is called, UK, Tunesia, USA, Russia, Danmark, Portugal and last but not least Czechia: real cycling nations.
Where is the Kenian representative, seems he is the expert on bilharzia.

Interview with Brad McGee..
McGee: “Look at the voting system itself; it’s very IOC. I don’t know the numbers, but if you look at how much weight countries like Spain, France and Italy have compared to ‘exotic’ regions in South America and the Asian countries, it’s ridiculous. We all know that cycling is a European sport. I think everyone agrees that it’s great to see the globalisation – the UCI has done a good job there – but you’ve got to understand what was the real agenda behind all that?
“By globalising the sport,they always spread the votes around the world when it comes to electing the president. So, suddenly the vote of these leaders of the ‘exotic’ areas becomes just as important – if not more important – than traditional countries like France, Italy and Spain. And it’s fair to say they might have a bit more of an idea of what what’s important for the sport going forward.”
RIDE: It brings those other countries into the picture and gives them a good dose of power.
McGee: “Exactly, and that’s an easy sell from the UCI to bring them in. I think that needs to be seriously looked at.
Brian Cookson anyone ??
