Didn't know this, cheeky!

'2005 – Madrid
After accepting €2,500 each to work on the front for the Italians during the race’s early stages, British duo Tom Southam and Charly Wegelius were caught up in controversy. Team manager John Herety was forced to resign and the pair was banned for life from the national team.'

If only they'd been a bit more subtle i.e. by not pulling on the front for mile after mile.

Wegelius' book is a really good read. Gives a good insight into some of the shitty ways pros get treated by their teams.

The irony being that both Wegelius and Southam, who was the ghostwriter, now work for Vaughters, who has a terrible reputation for treating riders badly when he doesn't want to retain them.
