The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) is pleased to publish the composition of its Commissions that have been renewed for the 2025-2029 period. The lists of the Commissions’ members were approved by the UCI Management Committee during an extraordinary session held on 13 November in Aigle, Switzerland.
This renewal process follows the election of the members of the new UCI Management Committee by the Federation’s Congress on 25 September 2025, in Kigali (Rwanda).
The UCI’s – non-judicial – Commissions are created by the UCI Management Committee to provide assistance in its mission. Their Presidents are usually members of the Federation’s executive body. Their mission is to submit strategic or regulatory proposals to the Management Committee in the specific discipline or field they deal with.
Some Commissions – judicial – are made up of members that are independent of the UCI and are called on to make decisions concerning cycling’s stakeholders in their respective fields of expertise.
The role of the Commissions is defined in their terms of reference.
For the reorganisation of the Commissions for the 2021-2025 period, the UCI had decided to increase the percentage of women’s representation to at least 25%. This goal was exceeded as the percentage of women reached over 32% on average (59 women for a total of 184 members). This progression continues with the percentage of women sitting on the Commissions now exceeding 40% (97 women for a total of 241 members), a figure approaching parity.
Geographically, the UCI Commissions now include members representing 67 countries (compared to 56 in the previous period). Of these, 38.8% are European, 20.9% African, 17.9% Asian, 17.9% American and 4.5% Oceanian. The representation of the different continents has become significantly more balanced. Previously, the percentages were as follows: 44.6% for Europe, 17.85% for the Americas, 17.85% for Asia, 16.1% for Africa and 3.6% for Oceania.
The UCI President David Lappartient said: “By strengthening the presence of women and ensuring a more balanced representation of the different continents within its Commissions, the UCI confirms its commitment to a more inclusive model of governance. The new compositions of our Commissions reflect the growing diversity of world cycling and will enable them to play a stronger role than ever in the global development of our sport. I would like to welcome the new members and look forward to working with them and the already existing members over the next four years.”
The list, compositions, and terms of reference of all the UCI Commissions are available on the UCI website.
