Lappartient set for third term as UCI president
The David Lappartient era at the UCI will continue, with the sport's governing body announcing that the Frenchman will serve a third term as president without a vote as no other candidates stepped forward.
In a press release to announce candidates for the Management Committee, the UCI noted that no other candidate besides Lappartient had entered the race for President. "With regard to the Presidency, only David Lappartient, current UCI President, submitted a candidacy for the position. In accordance with Article 40, paragraph 3 of the UCI Constitution, his election for a third four-year term will be confirmed without a vote."
It's the second time Lappartient has run unopposed, as he also faced no rivals in the 2021 race. The election for Management Committee candidates will take place as planned during September's World Road Championships in Rwanda.
