> UCI President David Lappartient has put the teams and race organisers linked to the One Cycling project 'on notice' with a sternly written email, warning that WorldTour team licences and race registrations could be withdrawn if they insist on going through with the project. Lappartient has quietly and carefully led the UCI's defence against pressure from the One Cycling project to shake up and further monetise professional cycling. The UCI has plans to reform the sport, and Cyclingnews understands that other stakeholders, teams and Tour de France organiser ASO prefer to back these plans rather than work with One Cycling.
> At least one team manager has admitted to Cyclingnews that the One Cycling project is now in jeopardy
> Cyclingnews obtained Lappartient's letter from one of its recipients.
> Lappartient highlighted in his letter how those behind One Cycling failed to provide detailed information on the project, claiming it would "have far-reaching implications for the sport of cycling" and needed the UCI to make 'regulatory changes' for One Cycling to be carried out and regulated
> "Given the media reports which state that the proposed OneCycling project may still proceed in spite of the UCI MC (Management Committee) decision, it seems appropriate to put the stakeholders of cycling on notice that pursuing with the project without authorisation would lead to unauthorised links between teams and organisers and potential proceedings which can lead to the withdrawal of events' registration from the UCI WorldTour and UCI Women's WorldTour calendars by the UCI Management Committee," his letter reads.
> "With regard to teams, the UCI Licence Commission may order the withdrawal of UCI WorldTeams and UCI Women's WorldTeams' licences.
