if you care about riders' health, support, and the future of the sport, please read this article.
tatay's situation exposes the overwhelming redundancy of bureaucracy in the sport world and how it actively denies athletes help.
the FMCV has literally refused to pay Tatay's insurance, going against the exact fucking thing these federations were created to do. so many Spanish riders have vocalized their support for Tatay and for changing the federation policy, but nothing has yet to come of it.
as sports fans we MUST acknowledge and fight for the rights of athletes to be treated as human beings and receive the care they need and deserve. please, please spread this message around.
