The UCI updates its health protocol for road cycling events in 2021 02/26/21
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) today published an updated Covid-19 health protocol applicable to men’s and women’s road competitions registered on the 2021 UCI International Calendar.
The document, drafted by the steering group headed up by the UCI Medical Director, Professor Xavier Bigard, is broadly similar to the 2020 protocol but features changes made in response to developments in the international health situation. The most notable of these developments are rapid scientific advances (the creation of vaccines) and new characteristics of the pandemic (mutations of the virus and rapid spread of variants).
