Interesting! Probably one of a handful of companies richer than Sky that could've taken it on!

Not often that you hear the words "interesting" and "Sky" in the same sentence when talking about cycling! They've been very successful but I'm very much not a fan of them or they way they usually race. I much prefer women's racing these days which still has the element of uncertainty which the often formulaic men's stage races do not.

I'm not sure, Froome is certainly a ferociously analytical rider, which has possibly come at the detriment of some of the excitement of racing - knowing you can sustain X watts for Y minutes and that will bring back an attack isn't great, but I don't really think that's an issue with Team Sky, rather they've been best at capitalising on the present situation.

I think if you want more 'dynamic' racing then doing something like banner power readings in competition would liven it up. Removing Team Sky (/Ineos) wouldn't make a blind bit of difference IMO.
