Hard line on "white sport" - what effects on our sport?

[BarHugger]

On a semi related note - the exxaro development team just aint cutting the mustard in my opinion.

 

At Epic I was hugely disappointed by the riders in green and black.

 

At the start line they'd pitch up 5 mins before the start then pop their bikes onto the back wheel and push their way to the front. This lasted 2 days before the other riders told them to stop.

On the bike they never rode as a team - always passing and stopping passing and stopping several hundred meters away from each other.

If one had a mechanical the other would sit on his top tube drinking water.

Crossing the line at the end of the stage there were no high fives or acknowledgement of partner - just straight faced misery.

 

Some of the guys are flippin strong riders but if the team management doesn't give them the life skills needed to be pro riders they will never be accepted into the peleton.

 

I emailed two of the exxaro managers and no response.

 

It's a real pity - there is plenty cash and Justice has been round the block a few times but somehow the riders just don't seem to be getting the life skills/social awareness/team orientation they need.

 

Marketing, business networking, marketing, business positioning, marketing,.....with cheap sport labourers......
