- Yeah, ok, and how is that information supposed to become clear in-race? That’s about as realistic as shooting down planes once you notice they’re heading towards towers.
- I’m not completely agreed on the fans paying part. Image rights for cyclists are in embryonic form except for a handful of rising stars or those who’ve been picked up by goods manufacturers or service sellers. The VAST majority of salaries is paid from sponsor money and teams have a hard time finding/keeping them, cycling, like sailing but popular is a cut-throat business where you can’t rely on fans to finance anything.
The nearest a fan gets to helping a team is when they buy used material at sometimes overinflated prices when teams might not even have paid for it. Your screen subscription largely goes to others, broadcasters, UCI, governments, race organisers, etc. Prize money is pretty marginal, roadside watching is free.
- Bunch of dopers cryin' again! Once you have you're own team you can make those calls Gerogie!
- If he crashed because he himself chose to take deadly risks, they should have continued. But if it's because of a bad move someone else makes, they should wait.
- The correct quote is " stroke of unluck". This makes it sound like Jonas is saying something entirely different.
- The world is full of angry, vengeful people looking just looking for someone to blame for something. The anonymity of the internet only serves to embolden them.
- Hard to believe Johannessen gets away with sweeping across the road through the middle of the group, causing a crash, and gets no yellow card.
- Fair play to remco, hope he can retain his place in podium
- He really bounced off that shoulder on the curb. We will see how he holds up.
- Well put!
