I'm not saying that Froome/Sky should apologize for anything (although they can't deny that they are exploiting a flawed system), but maybe the UCI owes the fans an apology for mismanaging the sport. I understand that in the past there certain teams that dominated the races by virtue of resources. But the business model of the past does nothing for the future of cycling, or the fans that want to see competitive races.
