Godamnitall.....I was gonna watch the election results on my DVR tonight!!! As noted, it is a first step. But lots of cronyism still exists withini the halls of the UCI. And let's not forget that Verbruggen is still in the mix, courtesy of the IOC. The UCI gets their power to govern cycling via the IOC.

Just say "NO!" to WCP!!!!

I love the way Cookson pushed out McQuaids' vote counters. A smart move. The IOC is so corrupt, I also wonder how they'll react.

The guy at the top can rarely change anything unless the cohorts are willing to make it happen. But a fresh face is useful if alone from a PR perspective.

Yes.......we've had enough. After hours of debate over McQuaid's status inside the historic Palazzo Vecchio, Cookson stood up and said: "We've had enough of this. I'm going to propose that we go straight to the vote between the two candidates." http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/brian-cookson-elected-president-uci-wins-contentious-contest-134739120--spt.html Entheo - You quoting LA?

the 1st step indeed bobswire, the man could do no worse, good to see McQuaid go, along with his buddy, billy one ball, and the rest of that era
