Yeah, it seems ToB is out the picture really, which is actually great news! Let's hope when it's on that it really has moved on as we have been told and not like it was in 2010 with local "aspiring model or a drama student"s being paid £50 for being "presentation hostess"'s..
British Cycling and British teams it is then.. in relation to Team Sky a friend mentioned that Rapha would probably listen to us if we were to threaten them with boycott as obviously we're a hard core of their customers...also fi'zi:k might listen..
@plexarice no idea what is next but yes, I think it is best if it's aimed at a Race as a deadline..

For the ToB, yep. But it doesn't mean anyone needs to sit on their hands waiting for progress. There are at least two other areas where I think the UK could make some advances;
1) Ask British Cycling to adopt a clear policy that they will specify against the practice of podium girls in any events that they organise and/or commission with a simple financial penalty for any organisers that do.
2) Ask British teams to request to organisers of any event that their riders participate in ensure that any podium presentations involving their riders are performed by the race organiser, key people in a sponsoring organisation or other person who is a recognised representative of cycling.
