Just wondered where people stand on this one...
While i understand that both parties have perfectly legitimate cases, cant they just grow up!? or surely they should go to CAS, now, before paris-nice and the tirreno adriatico are ballsed up, thus putting a lot of riders in a very difficult situation.
Imagine if the surrey league was at logger heads with BC, and we werent allowed to race. it would suck!
Jean-René Bernaudeau of Bouygues Telecom:
And there are legal conditions which need to be taken into account. "If we can't race, we are forbidden to carry out our profession," he said. "Will the riders thus be technically on the dole? That would create a nice legal mess, and it wouldn't be wise of the UCI. Moreover, the UCI would not be very thankful of the fact that we have been paying a license for three years, without getting in return what it was supposed to bring. We have always encouraged the UCI to dialogue and to be constructive, but in this instance, it shows that it is rather totalitarian."
is this the end of pro cycling, before doping can really get the knife in!?
Im not sure where i stand on this one, but thought it would be interesting to gauge agreeable opinion on the matter...
cheers,
