IGN, or more specifically Mr Radcliff (sp?), are beginning to make Mr S Adams (IPT) a smart guy!!

Have they been in talks to buy Froomey back or something 🙄
The sooner old Jim finds out that United are washed...I painfully watched them last night,the better.Get Sir Dave back at the helm and focus on the cycling side.Ive not given up on them yet.

George Bennett to Israel PT...
He's only 33 so nice to see them starting a youth policy at last

Can finally ask Froomey if he really "did a Landis" 😲

Lots of speculation around about a merger between Jumbo and Quick Step...sh1t for cycling if it happens for me.

Would open up a world tour place.

Israel ? Seriously though I think it's shite for the sport...how many of the up and coming riders will end up losing out in the transfer market ? Never mind how dominant the team would become.Suppose another plus would be the likes of Roglic and Remco can look elsewhere for a team that would fully support them ?
Can't see it happening until the 2025 season at the earliest if it even does,too many riders and staff to get rid of at short notice.
Hopefully just another non story aswell as Nairoman going to Trek next year 😁

I agree, I don’t think it would be a positive move for the sport.

 

[DCLane]

The difficulty is there is currently less money going into the sport as sponsorship, which is the route almost every team takes. The collapse of British-based professional and Under-23 teams is evidence of that.

As a result teams are struggling, so we'll probably see more mergers by team bosses trying to keep them going.

It makes it very difficult for current riders to get decent contracts and similarly difficult for any riders wanting to be supported. However, there are a decent number of British young riders progressing through so there is hope.

Would a merger impact m and f teams or are they somehow registered separately?

No-one seems to know (well, I've not seen it). I believe that a merger WOULD affect the women's team as well.
