And your claim it as "our sport", how the fuck it is your sport? Do you hold some kind of deed or title to cycle racing? I doubt it, I doubt such a thing really exists. Certainly it's never surfaced anywhere anyone I know might have seen it. My view is that the sport belongs to whoever dares to set themselves on the start line, whoever steps up to make sure the start line is there in the first place whoever stands on the course and supports the riders in their trials and battles. You're going to have to up with some pretty serious claim of ownship to prove that you own the sport any more than I do.
If some of us are of the mind that things should be done better, or differently then that's up to us to do what we think is right. We'll succeed on merit, not on some misguided idea by someone else that they own the sport and we don't.
