[quote="Andrew G"]Ditch a licence and unaffilate...not much good for someone to enjoy their hobby of racing or for the club's support of grass roots racing.
Everyone does it to make them listen? No, you just destroy grass roots road racing.

[quote="marco"]...people want to race local events first and foremost and no amount of time trials and sportives will change that.

Plus the fact that most fans have still got the blinkers on and don't really want to see what's going on in the pro game.

Cracking news piece from Australian TV

Just watched it during my lunch

Some good articles coming from the Aussie jurno's, though interesting to see how Brad and Alberto get on given their opposing views.... Team Saxo could be fun.

Another sad note closer to home, " Marcel Six of Metaltek Scott has been banned for 18 months for refusing to provide a urine sample at a Tour Series event in May."

[quote="Grahame"]And that is why I haven't been a BC member for about 8 years!

To our racers - give up road racing for a year. Send a message to BC that you will not tolerate them putting up with the corruption at UCI (which part of your BC membership goes to fund).

The British Cycling regional AGM was on recently. Nobody from Addiscombe went - except PvT and he's on the BC committee. I know it wasn't publicized on here but the e-mail went round the ACC committee.

But A.G.M or no A.G.M we are still in a unique position to lobby Mr Paul Tunnell, the Secretary for BC south east region. At least until he loses his temper anyway.

[quote="Grahame"]Should we put a motion to the AGM that the club disaffiliates from BC until such time as it demonstrates that it does not support a corrupt UCI?

[Phil H]

Is it fair to pick on PvT? Outside of committee meetings I mean.

I wonder if the IOC had started hinting what a shame it would be if the UCI weren't able to attend Beijing in 4 years time.
