British Cycling need a department of organisation efficiency 🙄

I’m sure Elon Musk is available to head that agency

In my opinion, and I'm likely to get flamed for it is that BC need to call it a day & start again, but properly. Instead of all the money going into the national squad & the elite scene maybe it should instead go back to developing & supporting the grass roots scene. No rider instantly becomes a 1st cat or elite cat racer, you start from the bottom & work your way up. I raced from the late 80's to the mid 00's & for some of those years did so as a 1st cat (for many years there was only 1st, 2nd & 3rd category - no elite or 4th cat) and for many years I could race every weekend from the end of Feb to Oct, sometimes 2 or 3 days a week during the summer when you factored in evening criterium racing. Where I'm going with this is that there was a definite pathway available even back then to riders to climb the scale & get noticed if they had the talent & ambition to perform at a pro level. That pathway just doesn't seem to exist anymore & the road scene has been on the bones of it's arse for many many years - but BC have turned a deaf ear & a blind eye to this & they've been the principle reason for its decline. Glad I did it when I did it though.

They'll likely be a quasi Specialized Factory XC devo team. And have already provided Blevins & Batten to them. Blevins actually won an Elite World title for Trinity in 2021, the XCC title - and then a XCO World Cup in Snowshoe.

This feels about right. One of the questions coming out of INEOS Grenadiers' dev team announcement was why not Trinity - a deal with Specialized could be the reason.

I believe that the pro riders are looking for more in cycling. Pro riders are wanting to take a shot at other disciplines in cycling to round out their resume. For example: PFP leaving MTB to Road and signing with Visma. Pidcock doing the same. Leaving Ineos in dire straits of having a big name and not finding it, forcing them to close the doors. but in the end, it always comes down to money! Its like what AC/DC sang: "comeon, comeon, listen to the money talk".

Pros should be helping/paying back these smaller devo teams. If it wasn't for these teams a lot of pro riders would not get to where they are.

Well we only have to look at what happened to Sir Brad and his passion to put something back into cycling and youth development. Maybe do what the Premier league football teams have done and get the other Emirate regions to sponsor? It’s worked for UAE….

They already own half the western world. Do you really believe that is a good move?

​@@monument_hq f%$&ING devastated. Ricci won the 1st TT I ever rode. His dad helped organize every cycling event in C'wall for decades. 45years later ,back home from years away, they supported every person who rode or wished to ride a bike in !the Duchy. If true cyclists can be pushed out of the sport by the social media rumor mill, how can road cycling survive?

closed roavd racing anyone ? apart from a ever diminishing number of crits, why is there no safe closed road events, no closed rolling road block sportives? opprortunites to watch limited no spectators = no sponsers, BC needs to engage with venues such as race tracks, race courses and others and open up racing.

As a former RR promoter, I'd regularly get a couple of motorcycle cops for one of my Sunday morning chipper events at no cost. That is no longer the case and hasn't been for many many years. Events cost a lot of money to organise properly, even a chipper. I emphasise the word properly. The people who moaned the most were the least likely to step up to the plate and organise something they thought was to the standard they wanted. To anyone with skin in the game, go out, get a sponsor, and organise an event, properly.
