Not sure if this really belongs on this thread, but it didn't seem worth one of its own - but should this article be taken at face value? And what's the story behind it?

25 riders at Milram transferring to goodness knows where, probably unemployment or career changes for plenty. Still, the invisible hand is at work..if the sport doesn't look attractive, whose fault is that?0

Ullrich and Schumacher. The Milram team are partly paying for the disgust in Germany at the massive deception foisted on the German public by Ullrich, Schumacher and others. Tour of Germany's gone etc.Dave_1 wrote:25 riders at Milram transferring to goodness knows where, probably unemployment or career changes for plenty.

I suspect some will end up with new Schleck Luxembourg team and Riis too.0 -
Yeah, but would Milram have gone near the sport if not for Ullrich?
Sad that we're now left with no German teams.It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0 -
Caisse d epargne are gone too..50 riders looking for contracts? Luxembourg team a new addition. What will be the total number of riders employed at pro tour level as compared to the previous years? Down? :? Must be worrying times as 25 jobs for 2011 have gone at this count...but don't know? If we get what we wish for then Shack will pull out before 2011.0

I use the pro tour category loosely. Vacansoleil may not be replaced from the tier of pro racing they leave which means employment contraction at pro cycling level below pro tour, which is the worry...less stepping stones for upcoming riders is sad news for riders not quite outstanding enough to jump to pro tour teams0 -
FFS Dave, welcome to the real world. :roll:
If the company I work for doesn't do so well and goes bust I lose my job. When that happens, and I took voluntary redundancy last year, I have to find a new job. I'm sure it's the same for many on here, why should pro cycling be any different?
Many of these teams only have themselves to blame, by turning a blind eye to doping they've caused damage to the sport that makes it less attractive to sponsors. In troubled economic times that means unemployment for many.0 -

Your usual polite self I see Andyp. These guys only have what..say 10 years as pros and have to find alternative livings after it mostly...so it isn't quite a fair comparison you make..most people have 40 years in a career if they choose ..these cyclists are in a different boat. It's more serious as their skills won't transfer so easily to non-cycling careers I guess. Put yourself in their shoes, in the real world for many of them..0 -

Biking Bernie, and anyone else who points out that there may still be doping and corruption at the heart of the sport? Go on, say it! It's what you're thinking isn't it? 0 -

all the people who form the body of opinion that argue for a status quo intentionally or not are part of the problem
ie you
really you have told numerous people the opposite and asked them to follow another sport... you have it backwards
you should go away or change your mind
its your fault

it;s people who don't care about the innocent majority in the sport, it's your fault. So you go away and follow another sport.. I am staying here. The end.0 -
If only there were more big time dopers when you were riding dave - you might just have made it as a domestique / sentry-guard-to-keep-watch-outside-their-bedroom-doors-when-the-doctor-was-calling.0

are the innocent majority protected by your attitude or your arguments?
the very fact the issue is so much in the news and you HAVE to make a counter argument is testimony to the utter utter failure of your own position.
if the world operated as you think it did or even COULD this debate would never have existed in the first place.. the status quo is unsupportable
you repeatedly hold the innocent as hostage to your own world view which is morally bankrupt not least in that the pay off for you is solely the domain of supporting your own identity.. as you have no involvement in cycling? well how do I square that with the younger riders forming part of that innocent majority I am involved with Mr not involved?
you still want to claim to have no stake in cycling? because if that is the case why argue the point
your position is bankrupt
are you a stakeholder or not?
if you are not then your just a troll ars3ing around on the net...which to be fair is ok in so far as it means relatively little in the grand scheme of things...
if you are stakeholder then in my opinion you are doing it wrong and since you are claiming not to be a stakeholder for the benefit of all those who feel they are WDYGAFY seeing as they form part of innocent majority"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.
