Michael Rogers has quit his role as the UCI’s Head of Innovation and Esport, leaving a gap in the governing body’s management and hierarchy less than four months from the Paris Olympics, with the new format Esport World Championships due to be held in Abu Dhabi in October.
The three-time World Time Trial Champion had held the key role at the UCI for three and half years, working on new equipment rules and controls for the Olympics, the fight against mechanical doping, the SafeR race safety project and the new format Esports World Championships.
