Team Sky have been dominant in the world of cycling since 2010. Starting with may’s Tour de Yorkshire will be the team to Team Ineos with Britain’s richest man Jim Ratcliffe in the back.
the Reports going on that the team will have a budget of about 300 million dollars, and it has been the UCI president David Lappartient to explain to a salary ceiling is something that needs to be discussed.
Sky’s first Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins, however, is not in favour of salary ceiling.
– It is hard to sit here and try not to be hypocritical and say that they should have a salary ceiling, for when we were riders who would we have as much as possible, while we could, because it is so short a career, says Wiggins enjoyed a lot.
– It is only about 20 years ago, Bjarne Riis got 1.5 million for winning the Tour de France in 1996. When compared with what the boys have in the day… Even 10 years ago got people like Andy Schleck about 7.5 million, but now they serve the 30 million crowns.
– You can’t sit down now and say ‘we need to have a salary ceiling in order to make it better’.
David Brailsford has been the man behind Sky’s success so far.
– Dave has always said ‘I do not follow what the sport is doing now, but I try to look at where I want the sport about 10 years, and so do it now’, says Wiggins.
– It is very visionary, and other people don’t think that way. You fitted plush armchairs and of course also the money to do it.
– that’s How it was with the offices, the buses, kitchens, and each rider’s own washing machine. Everything is so advanced compared to what others are thinking – French systems, with a baguette and a pitcher of coke at the finish line. It is two worlds.
– You can say that it is destroying the sport. But is David him that has the problem, or is it the others that need to follow up with him? It is difficult, but currently the differences are just larger and larger on the Grand Tour level, while there is competition in the one-day races, says Wiggins.
Team Sky have won six of the last seven editions of the Tour de France. Bradley Wiggins won in 2012 and Geraint Thomas won in 2018, while Chris Federer won both in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
