UCI President Foresees No Quick Heat Measures in Cycling
David Lappartient, president of the international cycling union UCI, believes the sport must adapt to hotter European summers but anticipates no drastic changes in the coming years. Although the UCI solicited input from riders, teams, and organizers earlier this year, no suggestions regarding heat measures were received, excluding significant calendar shifts for at least two years. Lappartient noted during a press conference in Montreal that while the Tour de France will remain in July, other races might be adjusted, though commercial interests and television viewership concerns complicate discussions about starting races earlier.
