While the announcements of stopping structures de DN have been accumulating for several days, Velo-Club went to meet a candidate for the presidency of the FFC, Teodoro Bartuccio. This is in order to obtain a reaction to this massacre in the world of French amateur cycling.
And the first sentence of the boss of PCO goes towards clubs in difficulty: “In competition we are rivals, but we are part of the same family, and when one falls, it is a member of the family who falls.
All before moving on to “presidents who have fought for so many years, and now, who are running out of steam. » An observation which unfortunately reflects all the distress of the amateur world.
Concerning the solutions, Teodoro Bartuccio mentions several avenues. First of all, review the specifications in relation to the DN, which in his opinion is no longer adapted to the current situation. According to him, the primary quality to reach the highest level must also be sporting and not financial.
Finally, he told us one of his ideas: “set up a toll-free number for clubs, and if you have the slightest problem, you call. Whether for a subsidy request, employment assistance for an employee, the establishment of a civic service, etc. etc..” A service 100% dedicated to field workers who cannot do everything alone, and which, according to him, would “already solve a lot of problems.” “.
