Riders' commitment to a new cycling

[The Saint]

Makes for some interesting reading.

 

Having a look at the listing of teams and subsequent members that have signed this document it is strange to see which teams have very few members that have committed to this.

 

Barloworld seem to have everyone except Robbie Hunter having signed the doc.

 

Astana only 7 members

Caisse d'Epargne ony 1 guy

Quick Step, CSC, Unibet and Rabobank = 0 guys a la Robbie Hunter

Discovery = 5 Guys

 

All the other teams have a healthy membership.

 

What I do find pretty amusing though is that Erik Zabel has signed

Unfortunate that the riders have to be treated like babies, but it seems the only way forward.  RH had better sign as Prudhomme would not worry about excluding him.

Here's an idea - for the TDF competition - should we have a sub-league for riders that have committed/not committed?
