His hogging the progress of a team who should be in a better place. The guy scored 2 UCI points I think in 23’. Time to go and chill in his tax haven. love2fly 1

IPT has been a retirement home pretty much since they became a WT team. It is not like he is forcing the team owners to keep renewing his contract. businessmen are going to business even when it doesn't make sense. he scored 8 points.

He was smart, signed a long term contract from the get go, there was talks of the team not happy with his performance and wanting to terminate it in 2022 already, he responded by saying he is planning to honor his contract till the end, think the team is keeping him knowing that they would require to pay out the remaining, so instead of losing the rider they keep him for PR reasons. that is all that makes sense at the moment.

As much as I love Froomey, him saying last year he was ready for the tour but achieved nought sours it for me. He and the team must know his numbers and know he ain't.
Frosty Posted June 8 Posted June 8 Marketing points trump UCI points. They (IPT) are getting a lot more airtime than they likely would get if he wasn’t at the race.

He doesnt earn 5m a year, his overall contract with performance clauses in will equal that. Sylvan and Ron are sharp when it comes to money. They cn afford to buy other riders and have done very well in the off season going into 2024. mikkelz and Jbr 2
