COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE / PRESS RELEASE - Lausanne, SUI - 11 June 1999


Minimum bicycle weight


Further to the decision taken and published in February 1999, the International Cycling Union (UCI) wishes to specify that, in its concern to protect equal chances and the primacy of man over machine in cycling races, its Management Committee has decided to limit the minimum weight of bicycles in competitions (road, track and cyclo-cross) to 6.800 kg from 1st January 2000.

By limiting the minimum weight of bicycles, following the example of other sports like rowing, the Management Committee wants to avoid any trend towards excess which would not be in line with the policy stipulated in the Lugano Charter, adopted in 1996 - see attached document.
