Great, they are planning to take away quotas from smaller nations in cross-country and road cycling... All to give big nations even more athletes and more medals.

 

BMX freestyle is a nightmare. They should have pushed for XC eliminator or team relay instead.

 

Not another relay/team event please 

 

Definitely agree about the XC eliminator though, short and full of action + the first one at the finish wins, not the dude with the jeans the lowest on his ankle and the most points.

Nick Butler of Insidethegames also mentions less quotas overall for rowing too (plus more sports).

I hope the madison will be in. I really miss the points race though. Used to be one of my favourite Olympic events across the board.

My guess is that they'll take quotas from the big countries first. Countries that had 5 quotas go down to 4. 4 to 3 and so on.

Remember that Guam and France, Laos and the USA all have only 1 vote for president of the UCI

I was under the assumption they would decide the information but then it would be up to the individual IF's to release the info.
