The International Association of Professional Cycling Teams (AIGCP) has written an open letter to the UCI management committee and UCI president Pat McQuaid calling on the sport’s governing body to abandon plans to forbid the use of two-way radio communication in races ranked .1 and .HC. The teams association has also suggested that its members will defy the ban.
