Team Sky Becomes Team Ineos: What Does It Mean For Cycling?

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

I am now a member of the Tramadol team for the 2020 season, only competition is Team Salbutamol and Team EPO , those teams are doing well this year.

[@necromaniconjigg1285]

Money doping is now the new doping.

[@troyhilliard5390]

It's just playing the game. The best athletes usually require the best pay, best facilities best everything. It's like that in most sports. I'm sure if u felt u are the best u would probably want to be paid like it.

[@aerojetrocketdyners-2538]

oh what an irony, fossil fuel and chemical industry supporting cycling

[@karlmylnere5712]

@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj get some help , and fast , you obviously have no control over your chimp brain , such foul language makes you sound like a ranting numbskull , I would hazard a guess that you are not even a cyclist , just grow up and look at reality or better still look in the mirror and then record yourself and your foul mouthed diatribe.

@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj i ride on my bike with mechanical groupset

Boom. Cris Froome is out of the 2019 TDF after crashing during practice at the Criterium du Dauphine....

[@yinyiang6345]

This move has massively put me off the team. Such an intrinsically unsustainable, filthy multinational corporation funding the most dominant team in the sport is truly heartbreaking. Corruption, carbon capitalism and an abhorrent history of land-grabbing and democratic abuse in the name of profit and fossil fuel extraction runs deep within Ineos. Sad, sad news for the sport.

[@Richard-sk3vh]

I hear you man. As if Rupert Murdoch's involvement wasn't bad enough. Bicycle companies and pro cycling should put thier foot down and lead the way to a more sustainable future and remove dirty industry sponsors.

You are too close to the microphone. Too much bass and you need a pop filter.

Such sanctimonious blubbering from the trendy crowd , whatever you think SKY have brought cycling to the attention of people who would never have given cycling a second thought and pushed it onto the back pages often at the expense of the all powerful football . Far from following the press ,who at every opportunity find fault in a team they helped bring to prominence . I well remember the days when a British team were looked on with derision by the continental outfits , and as for a British rider winning a grand tour , that was , in their eyes impossible , not so these days . It would appear that folk in this country want winners , until they get them , then they delight in pulling them down ..As for the sanctimonious claptrap about the sponsors and teams , well , what can you say to such dysfunctional adolescent wimps apart from Grow up and see reality kiddies and rejoice in the fact that England has a winning team at last.

[@plefevre]

You come across as really sanctimonious Keith. Just saying.

[@karlmylnere5712]

@Gordon Bird just who exactly are you referring to as scoundrels ? I presume you have adequate cause and evidence to back up such allegations? Would you be prepared to instigate a lawsuit against these people ? Or.are you , as I suspect , just an ineffectual snowflake with a permanent grudge against the world.

[@karlmylnere5712]

@Gordon Bird Gordon , I am so happy to have given you a momentary smile ,.I hope it brightened your grey world , it must be galling to realize that all your anger and outrage will have absolutely no effect upon anything , try looking at reality for a change then focus your mind on that Best regards K m

[@karlmylnere5712]

@Gordon Bird good for you , at least you will stay healthy.

[@kurtdanniel8541]

but they became team NTT right?

[@biketrybe7071]

It is too bad that the only entities willing and able to sponsor cycling are fossil fuel purveyors. We need a new, sustainable business model. That said, I have no idea what that would be.

[@Tomas-ml9nv]

Well if you think about it ,you don't see many companies with good publicity sponsoring sport teams in general. It's so the companies with bad rap aren't associated with bad press ,rather a sports club instead.

[@harrylook7810]

what's wrong with fossil fuel companies? imagine life without them (eg. no plastic?? heat your home with wood?? lube your chain with animal fat??). fossil fuel companies make our amazing modern life possible.

[@biketrybe7071]

@@harrylook7810 I respect that this not meant to be a political forum so I prefer not to engage in debate here. However, facts are true whether you believe them or not and it is the shortsighted thinking that your response represents that is negatively impacting all of our lives in ways that we can't even comprehend yet. We did not inherit the planet from our parents, we are borrowing it from the next generation.

[@univox_guitar]

bikeTRYBE you’re typing that nonsense on a product made from, shipped by, electrified by fossil fuels. Stop being such a tool. Put down your $8 mocha and get a clue.

[@bobbankspadley]

What does it mean for cycling? As a cyclist, I feel awful about the damage to cycling's reputation - as the sport connives with, and lends credibility to Ineos - one of the most destructive companies for our planet, our environment and our children's future.

[@danteintx7621]

Salary cap please uci

[@jochem1986]

Salary caps have nothing to do with a teams peformance, do they? You can’t just acquire the most expensive riders and expect things to work, you need a balanced team with managable egos.

[@bobohsieh]

just money.

[@plantfuelled8912]

Brexit Billionaire chemical company owner. I have no hate for individual riders, coaches or other staff, much as I may hate unjust wars and armies but not individual soldiers. This team is, and will continue to be toxic.
