First you claim “no, teams aren’t paid.”  Then you claim “the teams did receive payment to attend the race”

Teams are paid by organizers to appear at a variety of events. Riders are even paid a bounty for appearing at certain races as well. The teams did receive payment to attend the race, but the amounts per team have not been released. Nor will they, I’m sure… 😉

I’m lead to believe that the cycling teams are paid to be there. I could be wrong.

Wouldn’t the pay from WCP events keep Vaughter’s team organization quiet?

The ASO is the operational force behind Oman in conjunction with Merckx. The ASO was comfortable in recommending to Oman to withdraw the bid, as they already have been installed in the Tour of Beijing, and have received guarantees for future involvement with other races started by the UCI/GCP according to sources of some of our writers.

Withdrawing this bid gives them a card to play later. It will be interesting to see where this arises.

Again, the fingerprints are directly sticking into the pie. Darach McQuaid wins 2015.

Indeed as far as I’m aware aso gave their full support. Rather the uci informed the Oman committee to withdraw their bid or there would be repercussions for the tour of oman. I wonder who is organising the 2015 race?
