'Rider safety remains a top priority' - UCI aims to introduce GPS tracking for every rider ahead of World Championships
Briefly

The Tour de Suisse has announced that all bikes and vehicles in its race convoy will be equipped with GPS trackers to improve rider safety. This initiative follows tragic accidents in recent races, aiming to enable quick responses to emergencies. Participation remains voluntary for teams, yet the race director expresses hope for full adherence. Concurrently, the UCI is developing its tracking solutions to be launched at the 2025 Road World Championships in Kigali, emphasizing the importance of immediate awareness in case of incidents.
The UCI welcomes the initiative of the Tour de Suisse organisers to introduce advanced rider tracking, aiming to enhance athlete safety during races.
Each bike will be fitted with a small tracker that will sound an alarm in the event of certain anomalies... so we can react immediately.
