Team Traffic Coneos 😩😩😩😩😩

That was my biggest frustration with the sale of GCN+ , I would have happily paid double to keep it going as an independent

Also allowing races to appear out of nowhere & go straight into the WT was never a good idea, there should be a points system for race promotion, eg based on political, corporate & environmental ethics, proven history, existing proven organiser, adding a women's race to an existing mens race etc

Excellent piece!
some kind of "fit & proper sponsor" test is needed maybe. It's complicated when brand names sometimes have a strong national identity but for sure the sadly all too historically corrupt UCI could do a lot better on this. Not allowing country names as title sponsors would be a start

Let's hope so 🤞🤞🤞

Yes

Strong agrees! 🤞🤞🤞

Until March '27 according to BBC. Perhaps by then Starmer and Reeves will be gone and we will have an actual Labour government 🤞

Although in general billionaires seem to lack capacity for embarrassment so perhaps I'm overthinking this

I'm also thinking it must be very embarrassing for Adams to be forced to drop the project, perhaps he's done a bad deal out of spite for cycling

Yes, my pro-cycling dodginess radar has been triggered ...Might be nothing but the owner is under investigation for fraud in Peru and their HQ in Dubai appears to be a building site

Smells iffy to me, I'm worried it will end in a debacle of unpaid salaries
