Yeah. I don’t know if we need men’s teams having to have women’s teams, the sponsors might not be relevant in both markets. What Women’s cycling needs is more coverage and more women cycling - more coverage brings more money. But I’m a bloke and I do t really know, I’m not really entitled to an opinion but that’s my understanding.

Why are you not entitled to an opinion? The more men asking for coverage of women's cycling, the more voices there are for the media to listen to and, hopefully, the more coverage it gets. Which is deserved, the racing is excellent, arguably more exciting than the mens, and the women are equally professional in their training, nutrition, etc.

They were having an interesting discussion with Dani Rowe about ways to improve the status of women's cycling, and came up with the theory of mandating World Tour teams to have a women's team.
I wonder how that would go down with the Bahrain/UAE teams.
I really don't like the way that cycling is becoming a way of giving some kind of legitimacy to racist or sexist regimes.
