What do you think about the Peak Torque idea of just upping the bike weight in the Tour. If you made the minimum bike weight 8-9kg then the teams would have excess weight to innovate cycling, you could add sensors, play with materials and designs, even add suspension for the cobbles. In a stagnating world or weight and aero gains it could mix things up a bit.

[@abritandhisbikeinpoland6802]

Yes, without a shadow of a doubt! It's happening already in other sports, to name but two, F1 and Golf, and even money can't seem to keep footballers there now!

[@georgec2894]

Exactly, boxing and horse racing too 👍

Re substitutions, there are mutterings around Rugby Union, which was a late adopter in terms of subs, that they should be restricted back to medical replacements again, to lessen the impact of bringing on 3 huge fresh front row players at 65 mins against tired players. I think subs are different to medical replacements. Could perhaps be limited to 2 per GT per team. But that does push the cost up for the teams. 10 riders instead of 8. I think and hope it's a non-starter in bike racing

Money into the sport is all good. Its the contract and what you sell for the money that is important. I hope that the money goes into improving races, security, media coverage, that again makes the value of teams marketing higher, that will enable better salaries all over. But don't sell out without using the brain, and considering cycling culture.

Hey Scottish guy, Thorpe is Australian

[@dinodaniel2237]

YES ! It will.

[@paulvanreesch2493]

Well, it's ruined everything else, from Yemen to NYC.

[@WesCineLab]

If it happens will definitely have much more money on it. 👆☺️

[@myhumps2730]

Riding a bike in 147 degree deserts sucks ass 😼

[@nipplegripple8581]

The sport needs more money....'beggars can't be choser's"
