Four WorldTeams and one ProTeam were disqualified from the Tour de Romandie Féminin after refusing to use GPS safety trackers mandated by the UCI as part of a safety initiative. The UCI had planned for these devices to enhance rider safety during the event, which was a precursor to requirements for the UCI Road World Championships. The disqualified teams expressed that they had not been adequately consulted about the trackers, emphasizing the necessity of consent and collaboration in decision-making processes regarding safety measures.
The UCI's decision to require GPS trackers caused controversy, leading four WorldTeams and one ProTeam to protest against the mandatory use of safety devices.
The teams stated that their refusal was based on a lack of consent regarding the imposition of GPS trackers and urged for better communication.
