Annemiek van Vleuten and Mark Cavendish win AIOCC Trophy awards
CyclingFriday, 24 November 2023 at 17:30
Two legendary figures in the sport of cycling, Annemiek van Vleuten and Mark Cavendish have both picked up awards at the most recent AIOCC ceremony in Burgos, Spain.
The AIOCC Trophy is a ceremony of an association of various cycling organizations with riders recognised for their contributions across their respective careers. Former notable names to have received the award include the likes of Eddy Merckx and Jacques Anquetil among others.
This year, Burgos in Spain was the venue for the awards with the likes of Tour de France General Director Christian Prudhomme in attendance. Aside from the awards, there was also a discussion about the growing need to increase rider safety within races.
“This year we unfortunately experienced a real tragedy during a competition. How can you die at 26? Yet this is what happened to Gino Mäder during the Tour of Switzerland… How can you die when you still have everything to live for… I have thought a lot and I still often think about this young rider, his family and his friends," stated Jaap Van Hulten as he proposed his SafeR project, in quotes collected by Wielerflits. “The creation of a joint organization, SafeR, which had been in the pipeline before the tragedy, was announced a few days later. We have many other challenges to overcome together, but I wanted to focus on this crucial aspect here.”

- He needs to finish out his contract and then go hit MTB and Cross/Gravel really hard, that's where his heart is.awp18-11-2024
- Pidcock is starting to sound like Froome now.Sweep18-11-2024
- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
