Pure Savage Posted December 12, 2018 Share They called it marginal gains.. the other teams just call it being a professional athlete/The Ferrari method 2.0You would be surprised. GC contenders in 2018 not following programs, no specific diet, no weight management, no specific training camps before Tours, power meter was not working for most of March - April. Then you wonder why a drilled team like Sky can ride them selves onto the podium One thinks just because they are pro they will train as such, sadly thats not the case.

mecheng89 Posted December 12, 2018 Share That would be AWESOME! Alex Tinkoff is a very competitive tri-ath-alete, finished very high up in a recent 1/2 IM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie NL Posted December 12, 2018 Share Well, Brailsford had said before that ASO should not aim for less riders per team but rather for less teams in the race. Not sure this is what he was thinking of at the time though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper professionalized sport. American Football has the best model. The teams own the league and share the revenues, the best players make a fortune. The governing body is tiny. Investing in a small team and turning them into winners can net one a fortune. Went through Forbes "100 top paid sportspeople" list, no cyclists!! How can Sagan not be in there?? He must sell so many S-Works bikes and shower heads A.S.O. are a cancer and as long as race owners keep the lion's share of revenues cycling will remain a small sport.
