so from the UCI webite...I gather that the pro tour is a collection of teams..that must compete at every race in a certain set of races. I understand that this is bad for small teams who don't have the budget to compete at all races. Also..this is good for tv and such because big name teams are guarnteed to be there...other than that I am dumb to the pro tour... What kind of people are for it? (who stands to make money?) Who is against the pro tour? (who stands to make less money?) Where do the riders stand? Is there anything else I need to know about the definition of the pro tour? At the risk of a little controversy...what do YOU think about the pro tour? Please answer as little or as much as you wish. thanks.
