@BenjiNaesen Yeah I think I saw a “live split” where he was level with Poole but then it fell off a cliff. McNulty also looks similarly affected I think. Have to compare the GC guys at the end 🤝🏼
@CooroSnowFox@BenjiNaesen Yes precisely - a concussion check is more likely to be adhered to if riders and teams know they will not be as disadvantaged as they would be pulling a rider at the side of the road
@BenjiNaesen Would love to see Ineos let UAE control the break and use up riders rather them doing in themselves just because they have the pink jersey
@LanterneRougeYT Without seeing that numbers relating to GCN+ it’s hard to know why the decision was taken but it’s likely down to consolidation of costs. If the same content is being produced however, it’s tough to know why they aren’t applying for more distribution licenses in other markets
@BenjiNaesen What business model? 😂 From what I can make out sponsors/backers just fork out money to pay the team’s costs. But yeah, agree it’s absolutely mad…
@BreakAlways How would you value a stake in a cycling team in terms of those making profitable exits? Does an equity stake in the team afford shareholders a stake in bought out sponsor and rider contracts provided there is shareholder approval?
@AnnamacB This is the tweet - most mergers aim to optimise the latter merged company’s finances. Unfortunately costs are cut by finding synergies where you scale revenues off a lower cost basis by eliminating duplicated elements. Cycling it seems is no different 😞
@FerrexCS Think it would be great for Cian as Roglic’s career should probably sunset/drop off at a good time for him (next 2/3 years) but at the same time giving him some great learnings from a top rider
@notanelonfanboy@FerrexCS@medicinexthings I’m actually impressed with what he’s managed to accomplish already at GTs with a pretty average GT set up around him compared to others - he also brings something different on a personal level to the peloton and seems like a good guy
