  • I think there's a difference between individual teams having funding from horrible autocrats, and the entire organisation of the sport being controlled in some way by them.

    If it is deployed well

    This is the crux of it. Sure, the teams would love more cash and a more stable existence, but does it make the sport better?

  • First thought here is do they pump up existing classics/Strade Bianche etc, or create new races in countries that typically don't host races and splash the cash on invitations and winnings? It's going the be the latter really isn't it

  • Which would be a real shame, being how important the history/romance of those races is to the sports appeal to many

  • yes the game will change and we will all watch because we can’t help ourselves; includes willmelling
