New SafeR project in turmoil after CEO Jaap Van Hulten ousted by stakeholders

The SafeR-SafeRoadcycling project that aims to improve safety in men’s and women’s races is in turmoil after the stakeholders of professional cycling voted to oust Chief Executive Officer Jaap Van Hulten less than a year after he was selected for the position.

SafeR is controlled and funded by the different stakeholders in the sport: the UCI, the AIOCC race organisers group, the AIGCP teams association, the UNIO women’s team association and the men’s and women’s CPA riders association.
