  Agreed. There used to be a team willing to pay though. I take all these figures (that vary enormously according to who is publishing) with handfuls of salt. We don’t know how salaries are treated (especially between a UK employer and Andorran resident), we don’t know how numbers are derived and from where, if deductions have been taken into consideration, etc. but if he returns to Colombia, he’s going to need quite a bit in protection money.

  It always worries me when people so knowledgeable about a subject base lengthy detailed explanations or analysis on a single erroneous fact or figure so blatantly wrong thereby invalidating just about everything they made the effort to say. I always wanted to meet some top theoretical physicist to make sure they hadn’t overlooked something obvious as their figures for the mass of the universe don’t work out. This is like basing the US budget on a debt of 4 trillion instead of 40, something I know one person would be very capable of attempting.

  His analogy is bad, there are a lot of things we use, we dont know how it works not do we have the brain capacity to know everything we use. as a cyclist he is supposed to know to how to race, not every detail about every tech on his bike or around him.

  If they’d run a poll, I’d vote this best CUTD post of 2026.

  Bernal's case the writing was already on the wall about his decline with the back issues that he had in 2020. then he had that horrendous crash. After that he was not the same plus he crashed a lot of other times. After that any potential to challenge for GTs went away. Now his max is Top 10, few stages wins, if Ineos cannot pay millions for that then no one else will. slaving for other for 100-300k may not be worth it since he earned more than 15-20million i would say.
