| Agreement on Control of Tour De France Cycling’s world governing body and Tour de France organizers agreed Thursday to end years of feuding over control of the sport. The deal followed telephone negotiations between Pat McQuaid, president of the International Cycling Union, and the Éditions Philippe Amaury group, which owns the Tour de France. At stake was the power of major race organizers against that of the U.C.I., marked by bitter fights over which teams could enter events such as the Tour. nytimes.com |
