Seems to be a pretty cutting edge company, and with all development and manufacture taking place in Switzerland, possibly one of the most expensive countries on earth to manufacture, I don’t think they are short on cash. But I’m starting to figure out there are a handful of people on here that know everything about everything, and everyone else is automatically wrong. So I’m done for the day. Off to ride my bike instead. I definitely don't claim to know everything about everything. But if you honestly think his bike is manufactured in Switzerland then I have some bad news for you about a bunny rabbit who brings chocolate once a year round about the time they do the 2 oceans marathon. Next week we can discuss that big guy with the red coat who travels by reindeer. Enjoy your ride. DieselnDust and Robbie Grant 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good and well calling me out on the inaccuracy of my Google search (which included verified prize pots for the WC races) 3500 Euros for a World Cup win. 10000 Euros if you win the overall title on points at the end of the season DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It most certainly cost him dearly in points and financial gain for the 2022 season .... Did they botch it up ? Is this just the same old word games that so often play after an "actual positive" to blow smoke ? Will we ever know the real truth ? amac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there will be an out of court settlement.
