I didn’t want to post in 3 riders threads but short commentary on Contador, Armstrong, Valverde, and Cavendish’s comeback after seizure, cancer, 2017 crash, and 2017-2020.
Contador 0:00-3:45
Armstrong 3:46-7:24
Valverde 7:25-9:19
Cavendish 9:20-12:30

Is the UCI having a dig at Astana Qakaqstan, avoiding responsibilities and (rider salary) bills?

Is the UCI having a dig at Artana Qakaqstan, avoiding responsibilities and (rider salary) bills?

I believe so.

WTF?! This has been posted by the official UCI Twitter account, correct?

That‘s absolutely weird. UCI normally never, ever would dare to post something like this.

I mean, they are the federation, Astana is their business partner, with whom they have long-term contracts.

Strange…
