Giro as training ride

Robert Chung said:

What until next year when the Pro Tour begins. Any team with serious
aspirations for the TdF will use the Giro as a training ride.

Yes, they undoubtedly will.

But who cares anyway? The Pro Tour is the final straw that will break the back of bike racing.

If [censored] (sorry [censored]) Pound and his WADA Wankerz aren't doing their level best to drive away the sponsors, the UCI has to downgrade races that have, over the course of decades, been built into World Class events.

I agree with you, but I also agree with what the UCI has been trying to
accomplish. Their execution sucks. Look at it this way, the Pro Tour changes
the sport so much that the UCI may not survive intact for more than a few
more years.
