Marca has edited its article. It now lists all three as staying with the team

This is going to end disastrously. For Derek Gee he has nowhere to go, it doesn't exist. If a court judgment or sports arbitration was to order him to honor his contractual obligations the contract can't be enforced because the entity he signed with no longer exists. The UCI should have immediately issued an opinion that a professional rider holding a license should be able to pursue employment with teams that do exist, teams who are viable, teams who are registered with the UCI as being open for business.

. A company that's been in some legal trouble lately if I'm correct.

Funny because isn't Scott also in severe debt after being mismanaged for years by a CEO who has recently been forced out?

I didn't expect that reversed N to work, but it did (Firefox on Windows 11 laptop).

If it causes a problem on any other platforms, let me know and I'll put in a normal N.

You mean it's not 1995 any more??

1. The entity does exist, I have no idea why people on here keep saying it doesnt. CyclingAcademy (aka the team) just got sold to a different owner (or at least some shares of it). A different owner doesn't mean the entity changes.

2. A court can't force Gee to ride for a team (just like no one can force anyone to work for a company), he broke his contract, you can't just "un-break" it yk (ofc you could sign a new one). They can however rule that he has to pay damages to the team if a judge finds his contract termination is unlawful. The team or Gee will probably go to CAS (or some civil court) do determine this if they want to.

3. While the UCI's rules say they can, they probably will not prevent Gee from signing to another team as that is against the freedom of economic activities and some other laws that have a place in EU and Swiss law. People don't seem to remember but there is a precedent in cycling itself, the Van Aert v. Sniper Cycling case. And the UCI let Van Aert sign for Visma even tho there was a case against him for unlawfully breaking his contract. A case he lost like 7 years later btw, and Van Aert or Visma never got any punishment from the UCI.

I have ridden multiple Scott bikes, road and mountain types and always enjoyed it. I used a Scott helmet that until it broke into pieces from crashing was excellent.
I have read and seen videos about the association of bicycle sales and dealership outlets that have a direct relationship to the brand being used by WT level teams. I don't know if Scott received the sales equivalent of a shot in the arm from Q36 and specifically Tom Pidcock racing on their brand. I personally saw a replica of Tom's bike at a shop in San Diego and it was absolutely gorgeous and feather feeling light. It also had a tasteful color and graphics scheme that I think is very nice. Because of real life limitations, majority of bikes are made by Merida and Giant, Scott is no different.. I hope that team rebranding includes getting rid of toxic, controversial associations that caused damage.. If team restructuring is not done correctly, completely this could backfire for Scott

You continue to regularly assert this, but have never responded with any evidence to support it when asked to do so

Again, what is the basis of this claim? Teams have changed sponsorship, nationality or ownership in the past with continuity of rights and obligations: why are you apparently so certain that such a thing is definitely not going to be the case here?

What do you know that is not in the public forum and how do you know it?

Literally everything you say is just wrong and based on absolutely nothing. Repeating it 10 times doesn't make it right. You act like you have some inside info and know what's in certain contracts but you don't (otherwise you already would've shared it). Mindblowing that you still don't realize that the possibility that something (license or company that holds the license) got sold doesn't necessarily mean that the legal entity or paying agent changed. It didn't.

And you can perfectly discuss this without going political. That has nothing to do with this.

@Samamba

Sure.

Iniesta's first order of business should be to get Steven Williams some of those magic stem cells for his knee from his time at Barca.
