UCI Commissions

The presence of the CPA in the Commissions of the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) ensures the defence of the riders’ rights

The CPA works to ensure that the riders' rights are respected across all UCI Committees in charge of taking action or implementing reforms having an impact on pro riders.
CPA sits on the Professional Cycling Council (PCC), Road Committee, Equipment and Mechanical Doping committee, ITA,  Prize Management Committee, as well as in the new body created to improve the Safety of the riders: SafeR.

The members of CPA representing riders within the main UCI Committees are:

• Adam Hansen, president of the CPA, sits on the PCC (Professional Cycling Council) which gathers three times a year and brings together all cycling representations: CPA, Athletes Committee, AIOCC, AIGCP, and the UCI. He sits also in the Equipment and Mechanical Doping Committee and in all the SafeR Commissions.
• Xavier Jan, treasurer of the CPA, sits in the Administrative Commission of the ITA (International Testing Agency) and in the Prize Money Committee.
• Alessandra Cappellotto, director of the CPA Women’s Council, has a seat in the PCC and SafeR.

Here are the key achievement of CPA within the above mentioned committees and groups:
