Very sad day for UK cycling fans. Memories of setting the VCR to record the cycling from 2pm on C4 while I was at school so I could rush back and watch. WBD have a £31.5b (39b in USD) debt they have to clear. So them buying the exclusive rights and putting it behind a paywall is not a surprise. But I think they've overestimated how much the UK public are going to be willing to pay for Discovery+. As many people don't even subscribe to Sky sports for the PL or even The old BT Sports for the CL. So if they think they are going to seen a big increase in UK subscriptions I have many bridges to sell them.

Ineos problem is not knowing how to use the talent that they had. No excuses not to give Eddie Dunbar a go at a GT. Or Ben Tulett who can climb and time trialling well especially on the more climbing parkours not giving more opportunities. The only thing we know about Ineos of the past 2 seasons is that Thomas showed he is a really good GC rider but he's been 36 37 & 38 and needs quite a bit of support around him. Remember he was against Pidcock trying to make the break for his Alpe d'Huez win in 2022 the night before the stage. And Ineos best wins have come off road with the MTB and Track.

They went all in trying to get Remco and he ended up staying where he was. Remco is a generational talent problem is he's in an era with a once in a lifetime talent in Pogi. And even if they did get Remco for the 2024 season the support riders still wouldn't of been good enough. This new strategy they've announced they should of gone to it 2 years ago. When they were doing very well in the classics and 1 day races. No problem with publicly saying they are going a couple steps back to move forward again. The most important thing is that they have attacking tactics and go for it more. That's why they have stagnated using 2010's tactics in 2020's GC when cycling has clearly evolved and moved on. They should of built upon the Giro 2020 adapted strategy they used when Thomas abandoned early and went stage hunting thinking GC was dead only to end up winning it.

Yeah Ethan been given more than enough leeway for his track career. And that's not even mentioning his poor positional riding near the back of the group/peloton and being out of position when attacks happen. If anything is he even ready to be chewed out in public by his new boss for not pulling his weight.
