ACCPI head to step down

Current president of the Association of Italian Cycling Professionals (ACCPI), Amedeo Colombo, said he will not seek to continue his leadership role in the organization.

"I am not reapplying for the ACCPI presidency," said Colombo in a statement Wednesday. He thanked all the riders for the support offered to him during his tenure, to which he was elected six years ago.
