CPA wants to continue negotiations with grand tours

In the ongoing battle between the UCI and the grand tour organisers over the ProTour, the Professional Riders Association says that it will keep talks open. At a recent meeting in Milan, attended by all interested parties, the CPA voted to set up a special commission that will be responsible for resuming negotiations with the organisers of the grand tours: ASO, RCS and Unipublic. The CPA strongly desires to reach a solution that will satisfy all parties, as the current debate is only damaging cycling.
