@wjfkollig That the money comes from UCI ProTour licence fees paid by teams and race organisers has never been is dispute. Licence – and other similar – fees are a prime source of revenue for the UCI. Much that the UCI does is funded by such fees. So however the UCI were to fund GCP – through the books or off the books via the PT Reserve Fund – is going to come from licence fees. Far from robbing from teams opening up China clears a path to a lot of potential team sponsorship income. And if you could tell how me, without recourse to hallucinogenic drugs, this is an any way related to McQuaid racing in SA in the ‘seventies, I really would be grateful. But try dealing the original question I asked you: How does pointing out that the funding of GCP is not illegitimate upset the UCI?

“The UCI siphoned off another €136,000 to fund GCP, its race promotion arm meaning that it has taken a total of €758,000 out of the UCI Pro Tour Reserve Fund in three straight years” Excerpt taken from:http://inrng.com/2012/09/uci-financial-accounts-2011/The money comes from the licence fee, that is what I consider money from the teams and is spend to save the GCP, which is heavily involved in the Tour of China, which I meant with places teams or actually the riders are not to hot about it.http://inrng.com/2011/04/the-ucis-new-private-business/ So if the Reserve fund would not compensate the annual loss, the GCP would have been dead by the end of each year. The last sentence refers to Pat riding in South Afrika under a wrong name during the years of apartheid. So that is strictly related to the person of Mc Quaid – not to the UCI.Regards,Dr. KO

@wjfkollig You’re gonna have to explain that one to me, as it would seem you have simply read what you want to read without actually paying attention to the words themselves. How does pointing out that the funding of GCP is not illegitimate upset the UCI?

Pat will NOT love You for that. GCP sets up races in places teams are not interested to go to – with their money. What is next: Tour of North Korea? We know from the past he does not care about international rules, say South Africa.Regards,Dr. KO of innercitymobility.blogspot.com
