"I can't actually imagine Bora and Buchmann having a future together" - Jens Voigt reacts to the on-going beef between Bora and Emanuel Buchmann

Slowly there seems to be a bigger picture emerging from cycling.

Investment and salaries in particular made a big jump at some point with many who couldn’t really afford it long-term jumping on the bandwagon.

Now we have entered a period of consolidation and investment is no longer growing, budgets are under more pressure, salaries are the largest and easiest target.

When you consider the number of talented hungry riders lining up for a spot at this level, it makes little financial sense to keep on well-paid staff that can be replaced by cheaper novices.

Perhaps this stress is also being felt in the peleton now with each rider feeling he has to perform to prove his place and this has made racing more dangerous and risky?

Wonder why Bora makes promises they can't keep? That's a crime!
