Yates worth $4million?

 

It is interesting to note that Simon Yates is in a contract year. Strictly speaking, riders aren't ableto sign contracts with new teams until August 1, but that doesn't stop talks going on well in advance of that. Cyclingnews editor Daniel Benson has been speaking to agents, team managers et all. Yates reportedly refused a sizable offer from a team ahead of the Giro d'Italia. With his performance over the past few weeks, he's now reportedly asking for a sum of 4 million euros. Read up on that and more, here.

She either subtle or bad at biology

Good to see that they'll still be around in 2019

Clever guy.

He obviously knew their strategy for the Giro and probably knew that even if he didn't win he'd finish in the top places and he could ask for more money.

Now that it's looking like he'll win his price just goes up.

 

I wonder if it gets to a point where the rider just prices himself out of contention ?

Wasn't Froome in a contract year when he came second at the Vuelta? [emoji848]
