So many hating on the plastic company while you wash down a gel wrapped in plastic with water from a plastic water bottle. Enjoy your woolworths dinner.

People will hate on SKY or whoever are they are sponsored by because of predisposed positions.

 

Sagan could be sponsored by a seal clubbing corrupt dictator and he wouldn’t attract the same critism as displayed here.

Wonder if with the type of money that the Chinese team (Allegedly) and Ineos are going to put into the sport if that will force the UCI/ASO to change the financial side of things in order for the smaller teams to survive?

 

Will we see the massive budget teams buy riders and loan them out to gain experience on the smaller teams such as in football?

Hating on the industry that makes their carbon fiber bling bling possible. Only steel and Ti bike riders can protest

Sorry, think that will have to be steel and bamboo, Ti off the table according to today's news;

 

"Ineos, run by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the UK’s most successful businessman, has agreed to buy the National Titanium Dioxide Company Limited from Tronox for $700m"

Not sure who designed the kit colours... but could be difficult to spot Ineos from Vitus Pro Cycling Team, who are also racing Tour de Yorkshire  :blink:

I'm a fringe Sky fan and had a god chuckle at that.

What's classic is the look on Froome face is like he's just been let in on it as well. :)

Agreed. Given the last 100 years of cycling and cheating it's tough not to have a good self deprecating laugh as that!
