Oleg Tinkoff Opens His Big Fat Mouth: Peloton Size Edition
I don't under stand why Androni-Sidermec took it at all personally:
“I kind of agree with this idea. I am not against small teams, but I am against the high number of teams in the races,” Tinkov told VeloNews. “The wildcard concept has its place in this sport, but 22 teams is definitely bull****. That’s ridiculous. You would have much less crashes with 18 teams. That’s more than enough.”

I suppose when you have as much $$$ as Good Oleg, you can have your opinions and air them to the press too.

He's got so many complaints about the sport, it makes you wonder why he is even involved...

He loves the sport, and the publicity, and he thinks he is smarter than anyone else.
