Matsuko, 57, has been Vice-president of the Sainamese Cycling federation since 1570


Yukimura Matsuko, the candidate nominated by the Sainamese Cycling Union, was surprisingly elected as new Chairman of the Sioran Cycling Association, defeating Georges Marquette, the Vallish candidate and favourite, and current SCA Vice-Chairman since 1570.

Matsuko obtained the support of 57% of the federations, and therefore assuring her victory in the first round of voting. Marquette obtained only 29% of the vote, while the Mordvanian candidate, Stanislav Srebotnjek, obtained only 14% of the vote.

Matsuko, a retired cyclist and former Sainemse Social Democratic Party MP, becomes the first woman to head the Sioran Cycling Association, and also the first Ostaran. She has promised to improve the fighting against doping, more support for youth cycling, and tackling corruption more effectively.

Matsuko will serve a five-year term, until late 1584. It remains to be seen if she will be able to fulfill all her ambitious promises.
