After the ASO announced they would pull all of their events from the UCI’s WolrdTour in 2017, including the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia organisers RCS Sport have announced they will back the UCI’s reforms.

“All discussions will be held inside of the sport’s institutions,” Giro director Mauro Vegni told VeloNews via a spokesperson. “The institutions are the strength of our system.”

“RCS Sport has never been opposed to the Reform Project and is ready to analyze and discuss all technical issues related to it with all relevant parties involved, first and foremost with the UCI,” it said in a statement at the time.

Should races like the Giro and Vuelta, along with the Monuments all be removed from the WorldTour, the UCI may need to scrap their reforms.
