I'm comfortable with a Turkish person bringing and waving a Turkish flag. Seems fine. Better than people waving those give-away Japanese-ish flags in riders' faces.
Clearly you need glasses. It looks like a Japanese flag but it's just a red heart. And there is no logical relation between the appearance of a waving flag and that same flag being waved in rider's faces.

Also, waving a Turkish flag just because it's Turkish and has no relation with the peloton is obnoxious.
 
Most sources list Ineos as having the highest budget, though I imagine UAE may have more funds than are listed. I imagine Ineos have fat contracts for their existing riders, which probably explains why they're having to let a lot go. Bernal and Thomas must be earning a lot, and they're supposedly looking to make a big move for Remco.
That does seem to be the accepted wisdom, but just can't see it anymore. The numbers don't add up. They're going to have a very threadbare GC team next year at this rate and don't believe the Remco rumours. Bad move for the team and the rider.
