LONDON (Reuters) - Cycling teams are being "taken for granted" by world governing body the UCI and fear that planned reforms will continue to leave them short-changed, according to a representative of cycling's team organisation, the AIGCP.

Team bosses, race organisers and other stakeholders held a meeting in Madrid earlier this month in which they outlined their concerns ahead of reforms proposed by UCI president David Lappartient to be implemented by 2020.
