@davidho "we don’t want greenwashing, we want results". But no mention of the pro-team sponsors, which are largely fossil fuel companies and petrostates

helenczerski,

@davidho Are they going to make them cycle to the races from the other races? Is the logical end point of this just giving a bunch of cyclists a rucksack and a map in Spain in June, and saying good luck - we'll see you in France in August after you've wiggled all over Europe for 10,000 miles? .

Maddogeco,

@helenczerski @davidho last year pro rider Lachlan Morton road the Tour de France route plus the transfers between stages. I think he beat the peloton to Paris .

@davidho we may not have "pro cycling" as a thing by 2030. all trends now lead to massive economic and agricultural disruption by then
