I would assume that it's probably based on how many riders from that country could meet some UCI qualifying criteria (similar to the Olympics), to try to level the playing field a little?

if this is accurate, the men's road race on Sunday is going to be LIT

“I was born into a family of athletes. Encouraged by my parents and siblings, I competed in sports from a young age, and I followed in my sister’s footsteps, climbing the ranks to become an elite cyclocross racer. Over the past few years, I have had to race directly with male cyclists in women’s events. As this has become more of a reality, it has become increasingly discouraging to train as hard as I do only to have to lose to a man with the unfair advantage of an androgenized body that intrinsically gives him an obvious advantage over me, no matter how hard I train.

I have decided to end my cycling career. At my last race at the recent UCI Cyclocross National Championships in the elite women’s category in December 2022, I came in 4th place, flanked on either side by male riders awarded 3rd and 5th places. My sister and family sobbed as they watched a man finish in front of me, having witnessed several physical interactions with him throughout the race.

Additionally, it is difficult for me to think about the very real possibility I was overlooked for an international selection on the US team at Cyclocross Worlds in February 2023 because of a male competitor.

Moving forward, I feel for young girls learning to compete and who are growing up in a day when they no longer have a fair chance at being the new record holders and champions in cycling because men want to compete in our division. I have felt deeply angered, disappointed, overlooked, and humiliated that the rule makers of women’s sports do not feel it is necessary to protect women’s sports to ensure fair competition for women anymore.”

Transgenders Dominate Multiple Women's Cycling Events

JOHN SIMMONS | AUGUST 24, 2023

We interrupt your workday to present to you yet another reason why transgendered females (who are men) should never be allowed to compete against women.

Within the past week, two separate biological men won cycling events against women - one in Switzerland, and one in Washington state. The first race took place in Zurich (the largest city in Switzerland) where Kiana Gysin took first place at the women’s fixed gear racing final, taking home a prize of roughly $556.

As a disclaimer, the X (formerly known as Twitter) user who published that tweet does not believe men should compete against women, so the wording of that tweet was written with a heavy dose of sarcasm.

Gysin had previously ridiculed the Union Cycliste International (UCI) for banning transgenders from the women’s division in any events that it oversees. But after witnessing how Gysin performed, it's easy to see why the UCI made this decision.

Elsewhere in our crazy world, another male pretending to be a female won a race against women in Richmond, WA. 

A 35-year-old man named Claire Law was competing against teenaged girls at the 1/2/3 Women’s Northwest Elimination Championship. This type of event means the last rider of each lap gets eliminated until only one is left. Unsurprisingly, the results apparently weren’t close.

“In a livestream of the event, Law was seen crushing his teenaged opponents,” Reduxx reported. “As the third place rider Lucy Dorer, 15, was eliminated, second place rider Lucy Scoville, aged 17 can be seen completely dropping back for the last lap, and not even bothering to compete with Law, who sailed ahead to what appeared to be an easy victory.”

Why someone in their 30s is being allowed to compete against teenagers in any division of any sport is beyond me, much less a man being allowed to compete against women.

But hey, since sports these days are all about inclusion, these events should be celebrated!

Just like the tweet above, that was filled with sarcasm, too.

Despite outcomes like this happening across a variety of sports, some people still believe transgenders in women’s sports won’t lead to anything bad happening. The group FemMess, which advocates for transgenders to be allied in the women’s division, also criticized the UCI’s decision to ban transgenders from women’s cycling events, saying:

We from FemMess CC strongly condemn UCI’s decision to essentially ban trans women from competitive cycling, this decision has no basis in scientific findings and has only been implemented because of the current transmisogynistic political climate and pressure from trans exclusionary organizations. We won’t be attending any event that follows UCI Guidelines as we won’t financially support organizations like this. “We stand for an intersectional feminist approach to the sport and bio essentialism is dangerous for everyone, they won’t stop with trans woman. F**k UCI!”

The fact that women are forced to compete against men is absurd, and that people like FemMess that want stuff like this to happen is even more so. While we have seen other instances of people showing a level of common sense regarding this issue, there is obviously still work to be done.

Follow MRCTV on Twitter/X!

I would feel sorry for the women, but by and large, they have been the most ardent supporters of Transmania. So.....it serves them right.

Sometimes I think about 2016.

My focus is not, as one might expect, on the presidential election.

In May of 2016, the NBA moved its All-Star game out of North Carolina.

The NCAA and ACC declined to host their championships in North Carolina.

In April of 2016, PayPal and Deutsche Bank announced they were no longer planning to add new jobs in North Carolina.

Overall, North Carolina was taking quite a beating in 2016.

I think about that, and then I think about 2017 and 2018 and 2019 and 2020 and 2021 and 2022 and 2023

and now.

Bemused that this has somehow become business as usual. Not even worth comment: the sky is blue, the grass is green, states are voting on anti-trans bills.

As for the NCAA, well, they changed their mind. Other sports governing bodies - such as World Athletics, USA Swimming, the International Cricket Council, USA Boxing, British Cycling, FINA/World Aquatics, UCI, the International Rugby League, and even the International Chess Federation (FIDE) - have rushed to find new and inventive ways to restrict trans participation, mostly in the form of banning trans women. Though FIDE does get a nod for retroactively stripping titles won pre-transition from trans men. That was really going above and beyond.

So yeah. Sometimes I think about 2016. And then I think about 2024 think about 2024 about 2024 about

Bikeflights Ships Bikes for Track Riders at UCI TCL

Seventy-two of the best track riders in the world will race at the UCI Track Champions League (UCI TCL) in four different countries throughout Europe over the next four weeks, and Bikeflights will be there, too, as the official bicycle shipping service, helping riders transport their bikes.

Racing will kick off on October 21 with round 1 in Mallorca, Spain. It will then move to Berlin, Germany and St-Quentin-en-Yvelines (near Paris), France for rounds 2 and 3, respectively, before ultimately finishing with two final rounds in London in the United Kingdom on November 10 and 11.

National, Continental, World and Olympic Champions representing 28 countries are among the riders who’ll be competing. Half of them will be contesting endurance events like elimination and scratch races, and half will be racing in sprint events like keirins and individual sprints. Great Britain will be the most represented nation with 14 total riders.

As the official bike shipping service of the UCI Track Champions League, Bikeflights will transport riders’ bikes from velodrome to velodrome, both within the European Union and back and forth from the last two rounds in London. After the competition wraps up, Bikefiights will also ship many of the EU-based riders’ bikes directly back home to them.

Endurance

Current Olympic champion and four-time UCI World Champion Matthijs Büchli (Netherlands) is among the 18 riders named on the men’s endurance roster, joining recently crowned UCI World Champion William Tidball (Great Britain) and former rainbow jersey holders Theo Reinhardt (Germany), Quentin Lafarge (France) and Sebastián Mora (Spain). Reigning UCI TCL Men’s Endurance Champion Claudio Imhof (Switzerland) will also be back to defend his title along with 2021 winner Gavin Hoover (United States).

The 18-rider strong women’s endurance start list features Olympic and UCI World Champion Katie Archibald (Great Britain) and fellow rainbow jersey holder Neah Evans (Great Britain) along with two-time European Champion Sophie Lewis (Great Britain) and European Points Race gold medallist Anita Stenberg (Norway).

Sixteen endurance riders (six men and 10 women) are set to make their UCI TCL debuts – including two-time European Under 23 Champion Lara Gillespie (Ireland), two-time European Junior Champion Hélène Hesters (Belgium) and three-time Asian Games gold medallist Eyia Hashimoto (Japan).

Sprint

Reigning Olympic Champion Kelsey Mitchell (Canada) tops the list of 18 women’s sprint riders, joining fellow Olympic medallists Lauriane Genest (France) and Katy Marchant (Great Britain) and current European Champion Alessa-Catriona Pröpster (Germany). The quartet will compete alongside UCI World Champions Emma Finucane (Great Britain) and Ellesse Andrews (New Zealand).

The 18-rider strong men’s sprint roster features 2023 European Champion Tijmen van Loon (Netherlands) and former European gold medallists Mateus Rudyk (Poland) and Melvin Landerneau (France), with two-time Olympic and 13-time UCI World Champion Harrie Lavreysen (Netherlands). Fellow rainbow jersey holder Kevin Quintero (Colombia) and defending UCI TCL Men’s Sprint Champion Matthew Richardson (Australia) are also on the roster.

[ad_1] Glasgow City Council has come under increasing pressure over the introduction of a Low Emissions Zone in the city centre and criticism of public transport across the city. But a concerted effort is being made to make alternatives to private cars more attractive - including the introduction of increased cycle infrastructure. READ MORE: Top cycling myths and the real truth behind them all During the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships 12 new bike hangers were fitted in the city and decorated in the UCI jersey colours. The secure cycle parking initiative was free to use during the mass cycling event. Storage units are now to become a permanent - although paid for - fixture in the city from the end of September. Councillor Angus Millar, Convener for Climate, Transport and City Centre Recovery, said: "These secure cycle parking units, located around the city centre, will help make cycling a more realistic and attractive option for people travelling to the city centre for work, study and leisure. "Complementing our successful ongoing roll-out of secure on-street cycle storage in residential neighbourhoods across Glasgow, I am sure that these new short-stay units in the city centre will prove similarly popular. "If you already cycle into the city centre on a daily basis, please take part in the trial before the scheme opens in full at the end of September." The units are part of Trips, a new short term cycle parking initiative as part of Glasgow City Council’s Avenues Project and funded by the Sustrans Places for Everyone initiative. There are 11 Cyclehoop bike hangars that accommodate six standard bikes, plus one Cargo bike hangar that can accommodate two cargo bikes or non-standard cycles. These will be joined by a further eight bike hangars in September. Bike theft has been on the increase in Glasgow and is cited as a particular concern by people looking to cycle into the city. The council hopes that by introducing secure bike parking, more people will be reassured that they can use their bikes for transport. Cyclehoop bike hangers can, it is claimed, have withstood five minutes of attack by security experts using hand tools and a power drill, and 90 seconds of attack with an angle grinder. The Herald recently reported that the Scottish Government will face a court challenge to prevent drivers being fined for entering low emission zones in Scottish city centres following the creation of the first LEZ in Glasgow. READ MORE: I'm a keen cyclist but would I recommend it to others?  A judicial review over the first scheme being brought in Glasgow has been sanctioned after a judge confirmed that it complied with the "real prospect of success" test set down in law. Almost 150 drivers a day are being sanctioned financially for entering the LEZ zone, which came into force on June 1 this year. The square mile city centre LEZ zone is aimed at improving Glasgow's air quality and was hailed at its launch by campaigners who said that it will save lives by giving residents "more breathable air".
