Re: McQuaid has truly lost it
The Belgian federation has already supported officialy french federation. Probably the other big federation would do the same, and McQuaid and Verbruggen should resigned.
That is the normal way in all democratic system...

UCI either need to have a financial stake in professional cycling (that would be unfair and just as much of a conflict of interest), or the UCI needs to broaden beyond National Federations as their only accountability, and include stakeholders and riders in professional cycling. Or even better, as Bro suggested, set up a new organization with broader representation. Just another 1c.

Crankyfeet - It is a world circuit but I disagree with the circus quip. Sporting events are supposed to be entertaining, competitive and challenging. F1 delivers on these counts. In terms of Junior level, F1World i.e. Ecclestone is not responsible for anything bar F1 as ASO will only be responsible for their group of races and the athletes/teams who take part. The comparison is really to show how successful interms of a sporting calendar an event organised primarily by a business can be. Oh and by the way, Hamilton was sponsored by Ron Dennis from McLaren from the age of 11 and prior to that from the age of 7 by F1 related promoters/teams. Most teams have representation in the junior leagues and this is possible due to the budget available from being part of F1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP2_Series please check this out ... seems Ecclestone and Briatore are very much concerned about bringing drivers up through the ranks. And a couple of links explaining FIA and the members. If you are going to demand that UCI dissolves and ASO become the dominant promoter then perhaps we should look towards F1 to find how a balance is achieved between organiser/promoter and regulator. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A..._l%27Automobile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...r_organisations |
