Poll begins on best UCI president, McQuaid Vs Cookson; interesting so far...

You can vote in this online poll for who you think has been best for cycling; former UCI president Pat McQuaid, above, or the incumbent Brian Cookson.

 

The Twitter user going by the handle 'Digger Forum' has begun a poll on the social media platform that you might - or might not - be interested in.

It's asking people to vote for who they believe was best at leading the UCI; former UCI president Pat McQuaid or the incumbent Brian Cookson.

At the time of writing - Thursday - Irishman McQuaid was way ahead. But the poll had only just begun and there remained two days until it closed.

Digger Forum was one of the entities behind the online defence fund that was established for Irish journalist Paul Kimmage when he was being sued by McQuaid and his predecessor at the UCI Hein Verbruggen.

The person behind the Digger Forum Twitter account was very much against McQuaid in the build up to the UCI election 2½ years ago, when Cookson won the vote and McQuaid lost out.

You can have your say on Cookson and McQuaid below. The outcome is meaningless, of course!

But it will be interesting to see what way it goes considering all of the controversy around the presidential election and the fact that Cookson is now over halfway through his four-year term.
