#and players like verratti are going to saudi after barely turning 30

magnus cort nielsen to uno-x is an unexpected and fascinating move. it looks like uno-x is gonna go for a WT license or at least for regular WCs in big races. feels fitting that denmark should have a big team given the impressive number of elite danish riders in the peloton nowadays. magnus is truly one of my favorite riders and i hope he shines in his new team!

#i love that cycling is a small enough sport that small teams can at least hope to rise to the top #if they get the right investments and team management #like how alpecin became absolutely elite just by getting mvdp and being competent at team building #there's sporting interest in cycling transfers! football cant relate #meanwhile footy transfer market is just media shitshow and big teams setting fire to massive amounts of money #that post that went 'the romance of sports vs. the business of sport' #the romance of football has been dying for me day by day sadly #when its biggest star is willing to throw away a year of his career bc of a loyalty bonus #and players like verratti are going to saudi after barely turning 30 #you start to feel silly for ever giving a fuck since the actual athletes clearly dont #anyways sorry #im mourning a sport that i used to love today
