The UCI is deeply saddened by the tragic Belgian coach accident that caused the death of 28 people, including 22 children in a Swiss tunnel this week.
The UCI expresses its sincere condolences and profound sympathy to the families and communities affected by this tragic loss.
A minute of silence will be held in commemoration of the victims on the occasion of the first UCI WorldTour event of the season held in Belgium, the E3 Prijs Vlaanderen-Harelbeke, on March 23rd and at all Road races in Belgium this weekend. The UCI has agreed, with full commiseration, to the request filed by the Belgian Cycling Federation for its riders to wear black armbands at Milano Sanremo this weekend.
