If I recall correctly he tried to claim that he’d actually insulted Reza in a non racist way, but somehow his abuse was misinterpreted as racism. I don’t think anyone found that particularly credible.

Yeah well people are quick to judge. Anyway. Tiago Antunes from SEG to Efapel.

There are always people looking to excuse racism or deny that some racist action was really racist.

Were you? Bernardeau was the one who made sure this came to light, not Reza.

There must surely be some fluctuation in the number of riders who fit that description who are good enough and available in a small country. Even in Denmark, which produces quite a lot of talented riders. Denmark has a lot of WT pros and three Conti teams. There may simply not be as many riders who fall between those two levels this year.

Two from next year, Waoo is closing.
And several of the guys falling between those two levels are going to Norway.
They'll ride for the development team at club level.

Good news. A pity this wasn’t sorted earlier without the hassle. After all, rider and team did very well by each other for his pro career to date.
Maybe this just doesn’t translate well from the German, but it doesn’t sound here like they’re giving Bennett much credit for winning a metric boatload of races for them, but are happy to claim all the credit for “developing Sam into one of the best sprinters.”
I could be overthinking this. Either way, it’s not coming across as the most amicable parting of ways. Not that that was ever likely.

It’s a bit weird. What were they expecting? That once UCI arbitration held that his statement that he intended to extend his contract was enforceable that Bennett would just say, ok then I don’t mind spending more of my peak years playing third fiddle? I had been hoping to be the lead sprinter on the strongest team in the world but it’s ok now I’m looking forward to hardly getting to sprint again at the Vuelta?
They must have known that he was never going to agree to stay another year unless they guaranteed him the Tour or Giro and they certainly knew that they weren’t going to do that. It’s not as if cycling teams can pay star athletes so much that they will happily sit on the bench counting their money like some footballers. If you have more top class leaders in a specialty than you can give top class opportunities to, one or more of them will move on.
It will be interesting to see how Bora manage Sagan and Ackermann in the years to come. It may be that with his billion points jerseys already won, Sagan fancies a Boonen like transition away from bunch sprinting. If he’s planning something like that it might all work out. If Sagan still wants to sprint at the Tour, similar problems will arise again because Ackermann is too fast to accept second pickings forever.

It's all about getting invites to races, by signing these riders they'll get a programme that they can use to market their U23 riders.
