Cycling Patrick Lefevere saw a few months ago, the mood all hang out. If the Americans have the plug but not pull out, thought Lefevere. What happened.
Lefevere will find the bad news for the cycling. “It is not good when a big team disappears. That is if Real Madrid or Barcelona that has ceased to exist.”
After ten years of apparent Sky cycling not to have reinvented. That is also the conclusion of Lefevere. “The misery that is created around Wiggins and the salbutamolkwestie that I won the hand was in, proved themselves yet, but that Sky as a team was like any other.”
Only with money made Sky the big difference, says Lefevere. “Most importantly they have their riders are very well paid. They pulled Kwiatkowski road with me, for a amount that I could not offer. Young riders like Dombrowski or Boswell could be with us a contract as a neo pro. Sky paid three times as much. It was up to us to not to join. Not everyone can be a Ferrari to buy it.”
Or with the stop of Sky, the team also really going to disappear? Lefevere: “I do not exclude that Brailsford a new sponsor. It is not that the country is on its hole with the Brexit. It remains a country of large enterprises, the City of London is the beating heart of the financial market. And will continue the family Murdoch, the team has created, or her connections to appeal to Brailsford to a new sponsor to help.”
