Exactly. WTF is a charity doing sponsoring a cycling team? Aside from placing CTC in the deeply dodgy company of Livestrong, it seems like a total waste of energy and money, preaching to the converted and undermining what should be a core value of the organisation, that cycling is not just about lycra-clad athletes. I'm pretty sure the values of the CTC could be advanced to greater effect and for less money by any number of other activities without getting involved in road racing, and I'm absolutely certain that I don't want my subs pissed away on this useless little vanity project for the trustees.
