Index of the 2013 UCI presidential election

The election of UCI president is not normally so contentious, but the world of cycling is split on the idea of re-electing Pat McQuaid to the post. On one hand, countries trying to develop their cycling programmes support his initiatives to globalise the sport, while on the other, many see his associations with former president Hein Verbruggen and the scrutiny of both over the vast doping culture that flourished under their watch as too damaging to the sport to continue.

Cyclingnews will bring you up to the minute coverage of the campaign until election day on September 27 in Florence, Italy.
