A public hearing for the case between the Belgian Competition Authority (BCA) and the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) took place on Wednesday at the Markets Court in Brussels.
It marks the latest phase in the ongoing argument between the sides, which was initially put forward by SRAM against the UCI's proposed gear restriction trial – known officially as the Maximum Gear Ratio Protocol – which was set to be introduced at the 2025 Tour of Guangxi.
