    Yeah there is, that's why it's called Rat Macs.

    Cool Jeff! You even got the part right about totally ignoring the riders.


    Riders? What are they?

    It doesn't matter what they are, they don't have money.

    Pretty ironic that one of the ProTour teams (Lotto) is suing Unibet over
    gambling rights in Belgium 🙂

    And Unibet are suing ASO

    Unibet.com press conference tomorrow
    Tuesday 6th, March 2007
    The ProTour cycling team Unibet, managed by Green Cycle Associates AB,
    has learned from the agreement between ASO, RCS, Unipublic, the IPCT and
    the UCI, that it is still up to the Great Tour organizers to decide if
    the team would be granted a « wild card » to participate in races part
    of the international (PT?) calendar.

    I suspect that Unibet is getting more publicity from being excluded from
    races and the legal stink they are making than they would get by actually
    racing. Perhaps they even bribed Clerc to make them the poster child for
    ASO's spat with the UCI.

    Riddle me this: why is it that it takes a doper 8-9 months to get a
    hearing, and it takes a team only 2 days to get a ruling on their issue?

    Im pretty new to the pro tour politics, but it seems now
    with this ruling that things are no different now than
    when the tours could pick whoever they wanted.

    It doesnt look like the pro tour does anything to protect the rights
    of the riders
    (eg. all of the drug scandals), and it hasnt been able to guarantee
    anything for teams.

    It dont even think the teams are for it. For some teams, it
    seems like they are being forced to compete in events they normally
    wouldnt
    compete in.

    What was the whole point of the Pro Tour again?

    To funnel more money to the lawyers every side has to engage to
    (pretend to) sort this all out.
