Rumors on a cycling Super League

A group of top cycling teams are working on a plan to create a “Super League”. This new league would have the support of wealthy investors.

The Super League would be a response to the concerns of many general managers about the current economic model of cycling, which they believe is too fragile and relies too heavily on external sponsors.
The instigators of the project want to better distribute the profits generated by the world’s biggest cycling events.

The current distribution does not suit the teams, who believe that they receive too little money compared to the organizers of these races.
The rumor does not provide any further details about the proposed Super League, such as which teams would be involved, how it would be structured, or how it would impact the existing cycling calendar.

It is important to note that this is just a rumor at this stage and there is no official confirmation of a Super League being in development. However, it is a significant development that could have a major impact on the sport if it does come to fruition.

Jumbo-Visma and Ineos little secret plan

Five leading WorldTour cycling teams, including Ineos Grenadiers and Jumbo-Visma, are reportedly working on a secret plan to shake up the sport’s business model by attracting venture capitalists as investors and stakeholders. The plan includes creating a new competitive league that could reshape the sport’s landscape and allocate more funding for participants. (Source)
