How is this for an idea - the UCI should insist that more women are included in elite teams. A quota system of sorts? Sounds terrible, but something needs to be done to get more riders challenging the current 3-4 at the top...

In theory that's great but we all know forced quotas don't work. Also the standard of women's riding is just not at the point where you can force quotas. You don't want to force a person to ride a track they are not equipped to ride because of UCI points.

 

Besides the current system encourages women to form part of the teams with their points counting towards the overall team score.

I agree - but to follow on from the post by Duane_Bosch..they could even be developmental team members - i.e. youngsters being developed. 

 

Which teams however dont have a lady? Santa cruz, Giant, Mondraker..who else?

Ya, that is what I am thinking. I recon there are some up and coming riders who would benefit from a mentor in a big team. What about GT, Spaz and Scott...

Apparently moving to Canyon on a deal said to be better than Gwin's move to YT!  :eek:

Joe Smith finally leaves CRC Paypal. That took a long time.

 

Kenta Gallagher joining Polygon UR. Is this who is replacing Needles?
