UCI World Championships
Championship winners wear a white jersey with coloured bands around the chest for the following year.Former world champions are allowed to wear a trim to their collar and sleeves in the same pattern as the rainbow jersey.That definition excluded the main French body, the Union Vélocipèdique Française, which had been allowed to observe the founding meeting but not to vote.French discontent at that exclusion, and that the British insisted on separate votes for England, Wales, Ireland and its colonies, led France and other countries to set up a rival body before the 1900 races.The Union Cycliste Internationale became the world governing body and the International Cycling Association vanished.
