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 Road Committee, Safety Working Group, Equipment and Mechanical Doping committee, ITA, Professional Cycling Council (CCP), Prize Management Committee, as well as in all Working Groups that are set up to pursue specific goals.

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

• Gianni Bugno, president of the CPA, sits on the CCP (Professional Cycling Council) which gathers three times a year and brings together all cycling representations: CPA, Athletes Committee, AIOCC, AIGCP, and the members of UCI
• Pascal Chanteur, vice president of the CPA, participates in the Working Group for Safety which gather sometimes to discuss safety measures to apply in races
• Adam Hansen (AAPC) is in the Equipment and Mechanical Doping Committee
• Xavier Jan (UNCP) sits in the Administrative Commission of the ITA (International Testing Agency) and in the working group of the prize money management

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

• proposals to obtain better safety for riders during races
• implementation of an extreme weather protocol to apply during races
• platform for a centralised and automated management of the prizes of pro riders with a view to cutting costs, improving transparency, tax traceability, and control over payments
• increase in race prize money
• financial contributions to the Riders' Transition Fund
