Just out of interest, anyone know what will happen at Romandie next week? Team Sky stages one and two then Ineos form stage three onwards with an overnight kit etc change?

Thanks for that @Adam4868
We don't check the cyclingnews site often enough to have picked it up.

Basically you've got until the 30th to wear your sky skinsuit then bin it !

So, the new Team Fracky Placky can't even launch cleanly?

Good morning

Went to

https://store.teamsky.com/collections/clearance

hoping for a discount large enough to cover the embarrassment of wearing Sky kit whilst poodling along and dripping sweat everywhere.

Assuming that such a discount conceptually exists, stuff wasn't cheap enough, yet....!

Bye

Ian

What's in a name....business as usual I think.

Not quite one did promote the environmental impact of plastic and the other is hell bent on distorting it.

I can't really think of "sky" being ethical though,but I know what you mean.

No not on my top ethical list either.

I meant business as usual for the riders, not the sponsors, got to agree about the sponsor being a tw@t though

Is it not a trifle difficult to criticise too strongly and vociferously without first checking ones own pockets??

I agree with the sentiment and criticism of JR and how he makes money but I use and buy plastic. I also drive an ‘unfriendly’ Car...... I also don’t change stuff on a whim. Surely, it is lifetime ‘cost’ as per many arguments about CO2 emissions and the whole green lobby!?!?

Having said that, INEOS appears to be ‘giving something back’ via the Sky deal? (Tin foil hat on and ducks behind the sofa.)

How much fracking do you do? What volume of single use plastic do you make? JR is on a different scale to most of us.

Greenwashing, so more of a PR spend than any sort of giving.
