First 2026 board meeting in Milan

The Association Internationale des Organisateurs de Courses Cyclistes (AIOCC), chaired since November by Vuelta a España general manager Javier Guillén, who succeeded Christian Prudhomme, held its first 2026 board meeting in Milan. The board members were received by Roberto Pella, president of the Lega del Ciclismo Professionistico (League of Professional Cycling). The meeting took place at the newly renovated Vigorelli velodrome. Franck Perque, two-time track cycling world champion and board member, and Yannick Talabardon, former professional cyclist, took the opportunity to explore this beautiful track. Safety was a central topic of discussion. The AIOCC currently has over 200 members, including 56 women’s races, spread across 30 countries and 5 continents.

The AIOCC held its general meeting on Friday 21 September in Copenhagen (Denmark). 142 AIOCC member races elected the new Management Committee, which appointed Javier Guillen, General Director of the Vuelta ciclista a España, as President for four years (2026-2029). He succeeds Christian Prudhomme, President of the AIOCC since 2008, who did not stand for re-election.

Christian Prudhomme: “I have spent 17 wonderful years with the AiOCC, whose mission is to unite and bring people together. Now that we have surpassed the 200-member mark, it is the right time to smoothly pass on the torch.”

Javier Guillen: “It is a great honor to be elected President, a position with a great deal of responsibility. I want to continue the work carried out by Christian Prudhomme. We have a common goal within the AIOCC: to make cycling better! ”
