- This is a slap in the face in the memory of Fin Tarling. The UCI should be ashamed of themselves.Pedalmasher04-09-2026
- You are strange chap? What on earth are you talking about? You want analysis? The golden goose metaphor is perfectly (or figure of speech) if you prefer, is easy to understand in the context of UCI fines and a captive market. Further how would you possible know what I think on any topic? You extrapolate my supposed way of thinking from a simple post of mine? Do you consider yourself to be some sort of mind reader? It's your clarity regarding a comment I'm trying to understand. It was a simple question that you failed to answer, Now we have all this stupid obfuscation from you. Answer the question or ignore it, but don’t post nonsense that just makes you look silly. The comment question on your post still stands unanswered. You said "It doesn’t even pay the paper it’s sent on.". i said "You've lost me there? You would need to explain your thinking on that comment?"Cyclingsbestfan04-09-2026
- Hi UCI - what do you do this time? wider handlebars? different gear ratio? There must be something that will increase race safety!averagecyclist04-09-2026

- I’ll explain once I see a more complete analysis from your side, especially after seeing your first attempt. You probably also think police writing speeding fines make governments a profit, which is rarely the case except ironically, when they catch a big fish in Switzerland.Mistermaumau04-09-2026
- Agenda? You have no problem spending the time to total the worst day and imagining an arbitrary average but can’t be bothered to check other days? Numerous days have nothing to note so ZERO “income” but vast costs (Swiss salaries, vehicles, fuel, food/lodgings and far more). Plenty of days with less than 1000 too so your average is WAY off. Try estimating costs first and then we can have a REAL debate comparing.Mistermaumau04-09-2026
