I liked the old Garmin team but this Cannondale poo poo has sucked. Riders have really stagnated there. Their commitment to running a clean team cost them in the end. This sport is not doing well.

This is a great quote from Froome regarding if Team Sky has an unfair financial advantage over its rivals.

Froome posted:


“Yes and no. It is in some ways ‘unfair’ the support we have in general at Team Sky compared to other teams,” said Froome, who gestured quotation marks with his hands when he said unfair. “If you take that away, what do teams have to strive for? Why are you working harder? To win more races? To take that away, it’s almost as if we are becoming communists.”

...

“So everyone is going to be the same?” he continued. “We should all ride the same bikes. We should all have the same equipment sponsors. We should eat the same rice and porridge each morning. Where do you draw the line?”

I definitely think that the cycling funding model needs to change as it doesn't provide enough continuity and encourages doping.

The tour should be like musical chairs, each day you cut the last 50% of people over the line until the last day there are only two riders left. Two men enter, one man leave!

Actually that sounds pretty cool.
