No, they are a non profit private organization, founded out of love for the sport and made big by unpaid enthousiasts. They have moral and legal obligations to act in the interest of the sport, just like Fifa, the IOC and the Welsh Netball Association.
If they allow bike technology to be important for the outcome, they are changing the nature of the sport. Bike industry interests shouldn't be any consideration.
