How much did you care when it was RusVelo?if the team fold 180 people will lose their income, but you really don't seem to care about it
the word groomed make it sound like the ISRA-El organization signed riders with thirty+ flattering then slightly more and more provocative text messagesThey also recruited and groomed Matthew Riccitello, Marco Frigo, Joe Blackmore, Riley Sheehan and Corbin Strong.
I actually struggle to find many WT / Pro teams with a better track record in developing young riders when you account for their budget and their limited access to the top talents among juniors and u23 riders.
No idea what the future of this team will be but great achievement to have Riccitello finish top5 in a GT and taking the white jersey.
If the sponsors don't cure this themselves they are patently destroying their own cause, IMO. A team organization is not "owned" by the sponsors however deep the financial commitments might be. There is likely an contract out clause for incompatibility with team goals and that of other stakeholders.It would not surprise me at all if ASO are pressuring the UCI on the subject of IPT's future in the present or close future. They have more to lose than any other organiser.

If this was a product line, rather than a "state" sponsor it wouldn't continue.
It does expose the other major sponsors fitting the profile, too. UCI needs to take a hard look going forward or risk a version of this at many events based on legitimate and petty grievances of fans. They are operating on public roads....

I'm so gutted that he didn't get the final podium ceremony. At least he got to celebrate at the start of the stage.

Well a few people do, but yes nobody on the same scale.So did Tadej Pogacar. Nobody giving him *** for it.
I thought that it was relevant in the sense that as arider, you are representing your sponsors, and you choose to do thatDe Gendt's tweet isn't really relevant here. Just goes to show how few people know anything about the awesomest sport in the world.

And it comes with responsibilityI don't know how to break this to you, but I think most riders when they sign a contract do so based on the following criteria (not necessarily in that order):
- Sporting opportunities.
- Money offered.

I am just saying that he, as any rider on any team, is riding around with sponsors on his jersey advertising them. He reads what happen in the news and then goes out to ride around with certain things on his jersey. That's his choice.
Yes, and the team operating partners can explain the reality to the group of sponsors. No different than finding out your major supplement company sponsor was not producing a legit product and no fans would support you. The team moves on or ceases to exist commercially whether the UCI intervenes or not. How does a rider hype the other endorsement opportunities with, right or wrong; a logo that is counter to other sponsors? It's counter to their interests and demands rebranding.UCI is in a position of beggars can't be choosers.
Realistically, this issue is most likely to be resolved the other way around, i.e. riders opting not to sign for IPT if it hampers their ability to race their desired schedule or their other financial opportunities.
