I'm sure I've seen that jersey before. Now where was it?

Ah yes, that's the one.

Oh ****ing hell I knew it was familiar from somewhere, they really need someone telling them to think about the optics, Pogacar in apparently a £300,000 watch as well, what was he playing at.

I'm at the point where I think Gianetti is just doing it on purpose, I loved Sauner-Duval/Geox because they always seemed a bit bush league, but he's somehow convinced some oil barons who know no better to give him unlimited money and wants revenge on the UCI for taking away Cobo's Vuelta.

Other riders on the team also have a watch. They've been sponsoring for a few years. Yates, last year, for instance:

are you evny of everyone with a watch @Tim Cahill ?

Or would it help if it didnt cost money is that it you also would want one? Like mesmerizing post:tearsofjoy: What the guys use their money on and like carolina says sponsors give them who cares jesus.

I would want a Richard Mille if I could too. He wore it last seasons too just another new version now. Nadal also played with it if ur into watches, Richard Millie giving it to the top athletes in their sport.

Not at all, I'm very happy and want for nothing, thanks for the concern though James, but there isn't any shame in wanting to live a simple life. Wealth naturally comes with winning, earning lots of money is not his fault, but cycling is working class sport, and flaunting 10x the yearly salary of the butchers and bakers who watch on the side of the road would strike me as deeply immoral. There is a reason that Roglic tends to be be more popular with most of the Slovenians who have worked a day in their life, when you get a little bit older you'll understand.

Oh? Is that time of the year already? When every rider in the peloton seems to be about to sign with UAE?

(Pretty sure they would sign all of them if they could...)
Think Florian is already bound to Uae yes.

Narvaez im not that sure about but Florian is already bound and so good at age 25 already is clearly a huge buy anyway but Narvaez would be good aswell read he was going to uae but also red bull so i guess one of those.

Sure to each their own. I would love to wear one if I could aswell and whole uae does it I see nothing wrong with that so does other who can and get one in other sports its completely normal. In that case create more wealth if you want it if not no problem its just a watch.

Besides why thats even relevant i dont get but each their own:sweatsmile:

Cant wait when they are going to sign Jarno Widar( the next Pog)
Never heard of him? Is it a joke or a superstar talent.

I thought del torro was a nice add of a youngster he seems to hold all the credentials you would want to be a top top rider in this sport. Uae are moving and buying smart not that I give em to much credit with their balance but nevertheless they use it well. Most of uae best top riders are at the best age aswell besides Politt and Wellens, Yates they are all age wice on the upwards basicly with a insane depth aswell ....

and will just improve add that with adding more top riders which they will do it might just be getting out of hand in the coming years.
