The UCI’s new safe pro cycling initiative – SafeR – has stalled before even getting off the ground, with stakeholders forcing out CEO Jaap Van Hulten, reports Cyclingnews.
Van Hulten, who was sharing his time between SafeR and his former role as chief operating officer at Visma-Lease A Bike, was ousted after “it became clear that the work carried out to date has not lived up to the objectives set, particularly in a context in which too many accidents have occurred”, the UCI told CN.
