A new online communication system has been launched by the Professional Riders Association (CPA) at the Giro d'Italia with the aim of both strengthening and protecting riders' rights to have their voice heard on racing issues.
The CPA believes that thanks to this new on-line communication system, riders' opinions about such questions as Extreme Weather Condition protocol and its use during races, for example, or on questions such as disc brakes or rider safety, will be heard more effectively and in a much more united way.
At the same time, the communication system is designed to allow information provided by the CPA and race organisers to reach the riders more quickly.

The online communication system, known as CPAOCS, was created by Adam Hansen (Lotto-Soudal), who for many years worked and studied as a computer programmer, specializing in on-line database applications, before turning pro.
Hansen has just become the CPA's Australian delegate and he gave the media a presentation of the CPAOCS during the Giro d'Italia's rest day on Monday and it will become operational during the race.
"What we found was that the CPA does a lot of work for the riders and this helps riders see the kinds of problems the CPA is fighting against," Hansen told Cyclingnews.
