Ineos is at least half way there and I don’t think they are staying at the Vatican anytime soon.

Considering certain practises regarding relocation of priests with certain questionable personal preferences, I’m not sure how useful the Vatican is as a moral reference....

Yeah, damn Ineos for buying the best athletes to join their team.

And damn the riders for accepting high salaries and the promise of access to the best equipment, training facilities/programs, and race support.

Someone should enforce the salary cap set forth by the CBA between the UCI and the riders. Oh wait......

If the 19 World Tour teams had salary caps / same total salary per team it would be more interesting.
Right now it is 19 separate companies.

I do rather enjoy the major umbrella of the NFL and NBA that set team salary caps and rather protect the players.
I wish cycling could follow. Being so international and so free-form, that is not likely.

As much as I hate to say it I think they need a rider union of some sort.
