Message from the President
Union Cycliste Internationale - UCI Newsletter #69 - 22.11.2019 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Members, Not long after returning from China, after the Gree – Tour of Guangxi and the Tour of Guangxi Women’s WorldTour, it was a pleasure in my turn to welcome a delegation from China to the UCI headquarters in Aigle. Representing the city of Shanghai, and headed by the city’s Vice Mayor Mr Chen Qun, the seven city representatives spent the day in Aigle, meeting with UCI staff from our different departments. It was a great opportunity to discuss the development of cycling in their area and plan the future of our activity in the region. On the subject of developing our sport in different regions, I was delighted to travel to Havana (Cuba) at the beginning of this month for the Caribbean Championships and the Congress of the Caribbean Cycling Confederation. A record 27 nations participated in the racing in the Cuban capital, and it was a privilege for me to present medals to the new Caribbean Champions. The Congress on 2 November, preceded by an informative and dynamic UCI Sharing Platform, was a demonstration of the wonderful commitment of the attending National Federations to our sport. The discussions were fruitful and positive, and I look forward to following cycling activity in the region. I would also like to congratulate Trevor Bailey for his re-election at Congress as President of the Caribbean Cycling Confederation. Back in Europe, I travelled to Poland for the WADA World Conference on Anti-Doping and Foundation Board meeting in Katowice.
