World Cycling Head Warns Saudis Against Funding Breakaway League
- UCI chief says he doesn’t see Saudi breakaway league happening
- French Olympic Committee wants to introduce cyclocross in 2030
The head of world cycling’s governing body said Saudi investments are welcome to help stabilize finances in the road racing circuit, as long they don’t create a parallel league.
“When you have stakeholders that want to invest in our sport, I take this positively that there’s an interest in cycling,” UCI President David Lappartient said in an interview during Olympic Games, adding that he had met Saudi officials in Paris.
