I don't ride for anyone - I ride for myself, the thrill of the race, and the feel of the bike beneath me; also no one would ever, ever pay me to ride as part of a team because of my lack of ability and speed.
I work for a giant law firm so I was riding as part of their 'team'. I made a couple off-hand jokes about how we all needed electronic shifting to win only to then realised that two of my teammates had Ultegra Di2. On Cervelos, obvs. le sigh.
