The UCI is the world governing body for sports cycling and oversees
international competitive cycling events. The UCI is based in Aigle, Switzerland.
The UCI issues racing licenses to riders and enforces disciplinary rules, such
as in matters of doping. The UCI also manages the classification of races and
the points ranking system in various cycling disciplines including mountain
biking, road and track cycling, for both men and women, amateur and professional.
It also oversees the World Championships.
The UCI was founded on 14 April 1900 in Paris. The national federations form
confederations by each continent.

The protocol manual for the London 2012 Olympics (Flags and Anthems Manual
London 2012 [loc12]) provides recommendations
for flag designs. Each international federation
and international paralympics federation was sent an image of the flag,
including the PMS shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG
produced a 60 x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these
specs may not be the official version of each flag, they are certainly what the international
federation and international paralympics federation believed the flag to be.
For UCI: PMS 3005 blue, 186 red, process yellow, 361 green and black. The
vertical flag is simply the horizontal version turned 90 degrees clockwise.
