Carolina Poussier has stepped down as president of the Andorran Cycling Federation (FAC) due to demanding new professional responsibilities, prompting the board to appoint Joan Turné as her replacement.

The FAC announced Poussier's voluntary resignation, effective 28 September. She cited recent work duties that require full-time attention, making them incompatible with the time, oversight, and involvement needed to lead the organisation effectively.

In a statement upon leaving office, Poussier thanked the board members and everyone associated with the FAC for the trust placed in her and their collaboration during her tenure.

The board then held an extraordinary meeting and named Turné as the new president, following the procedure outlined in the federation's statutes.
