    There’s also a retrenchment to mercantile nationalism that’s consistent in their PR around cycling.

    His lawyers and theirs may have different interpretations.

    Things I’m seeing indicate that he did terminate the contract. That wouldn’t mean that he can’t be pursued for damages.

    It’s amusing and not out of bounds. Realistically no, and more depressing as you suggest.

    A WT license is three years; as ever, it seems that who holds or owns it can probably change.

    Likely the opportunism of recent years for him and the team?

    Well given military actions, for example, within the world and interior, why can’t cycling dope away?
