Velon Addendum and rider image rights

[42x16ss]

It turns out that there is an addendum that Velon are encouraging riders to sign regarding image rights, and the CPA are encouraging them to not sign their rights away.

Shane Stokes and Cyclingtips claim to have access to a leaked copy.

Hopefully riders stand their ground on this.

Agree 46x16ss!
The riders should have some control over what happens to the image rights as they are the ones who are creating the content to be used, some other disturbing stuff in that article which goes to show that the riders really do need a stronger voice which they lack with the current riders union.

It was obvious from the start Velon is not about the riders, its about the money...

In addition to rights (including image rights riders can use for personal sponsorship!) they also ask to sign away your ethnicity, religion and everything else. I doubt this is legal.

Oh and not a single dime will be made by Velon, let's not pretend anyone is gonna pay (substantially) for that footage they produce.
