Teams & Riders Israel Premier Tech

One might also say it'll be a huge mess if protestors foul up the races.

I know, it's super weird to assign some part of the blame to the people who would, in the scenario you outline, be the ones actually creating the mess. But I'm a wild and crazy guy...

There was no blame assigned in the text you quoted. Just that there would be a mess.

Super selfish about riders lives and career longevity.
If Israel association is not bettering the team, the brand, the riders, why bother?

Are more people booking vacations to Israel because of team association?
Are investors speculating on business opportunities because of positive brand affiliation with Israel Premier Tech? No.
.responsible ownership can see that team brand is diminished, almost worthless or worse.. And that tiny performance window for endurance athletes is being pissed away.. ..instead of racing for results, team is in an argument even to enter events.
UCI is a joke, riders union is a scam.
. Nobody on IPT has a chance at anything.. UCI has another category for team relegation but won't say it officially..
Want instead to do some BS, race by race reevaluation.. ..nobody at IPT has a chance.. Stop pretending.
