Prudhomme takes over AIOCC presidency

Tour de France race director has succeeded Victor Cordero in the role of president of the AIOCC, the international association of cycling race organisers. The Spanish Vuelta a España organiser did not want to renew his four-year mandate, which then went to the French official.

The AIOCC represents 129 cycling races, of which the three Grand Tours and 21 competitions of the World Calendar. Vice-presidents to Prudhomme are Giro d'Italia director Angelo Zomegnan and Ed Buchette of the Tour du Luxembourg.
