(3/3) Has CPA been receiving deductions of prize money for riders that were never their member? Did CPA let non-members vote in their previous elections? Is it OK to claim you have been representing all riders when you know it is not the case?

(2/3) Asking for a friend: why would you invite riders to become a member that you claim are automatically your member? Does it means riders were never automatically a member and you correct that now? Does it also mean that block voting in history?

(1/3) For the past two years, we have been arguing with @UCI_cycling and @cpacycling over alleged 'automatic membership' for all pro riders, as defended by them. We believe it is nonsense.

RIP Davide Rebellin, our sincere condolences to friends and family... #lifeisntalwaysfair

The whole relegation issue is a symptom and not the root of the current state of cycling... Teams, riders and organizers combined have a minority in the decision making process, so don't expect change if you don't want to change that structure... #groundhogday #onerideronevote

Transfer season in our board of directors, where we welcome @AllanPeiper to replace David Tanner, who steps down for personal and professional reasons...

(2/2) We didn’t want to spoil the party at @LeTour’s World Bunchsprint Championship in Paris, but having open barriers before or after the finish is scary dangerous…

(1/2) What happens between the moment an organiser designs a parcours and @UCI_cycling judges the race and rules? And who is liable for consequences if one of two don’t do their job?

Today marks the long overdue step forward for women in our sport: @LeTourFemmes. Recognition of @Cyclists_All would be the next logical step, since they have an important part of the peloton as real member. #Equality #diversity #onerideronevote

We have encouraged @UCI_cycling a thousand times to increase safety by strictly applying their own rules and also sanction circumstances and not only behaviour #4joursdeDunkerque #SafetyFirst

Still puzzled how one can allow a deviation for cars at less than 150 metres before the finish… (in your own backyard) #SafetyFirst #seenthisonebeforehaventwe

We now agree that riders are free to associate in the way the want, meaning they can choose the Union that they feel best represents their interests. An important step towards #OneRiderOneVote (3/3)

We welcomed the CPA’s admission that automatic membership for all riders (one of the fundamentals for their recognition) has been inappropriately executed and communicated in the past. (2/3)

Last week, we had the first official meeting with @cpacycling discussing the interests of professional riders, and our similarities and differences. (1/3)
