The UCI announced that its Management Committee has approved the men's and women's WorldTour races through the end of the next three-year cycle in 2028 on Thursday, with the committee unanimously voting to exclude the One Cycling project from the calendar.

"While welcoming the fact that road cycling is attracting new investors, the UCI Management Committee nevertheless unanimously decided, following the PCC's vote in this direction, not to respond to the request, as it stands, to include the OneCycling project in the UCI Women's WorldTour and UCI WorldTour calendars," the UCI announcement read.
