I think that the Pro Tour is going to fizzle. The way it's set up only

the big three teams are going to be competitive over the entire season.

Just look at last year's Tour stage winners and this year's Tour stage

winners.




The Pro Tour will not fizzle.

The Pro Tour is all about sponsors, not about the big three or the other
17
or Tour stage winners. The sponsors seem to like it so it is a success and
it will continue and the teams will put up with it because it's what the
sponsors want. Organizers of Pro Tour races don't like it because it takes
away some of their control, organizers of non Pro Tour races don't like it
because it takes away some of their prestige; the Pro Tour will succeed
despite them.

Well, you have your opinion and I have mine. It ought to be interesting to
see who was closest to the truth.

Who knows the real reason FB pulled its sponsorship. But Ferretti dislikes
the Pro Tour more than just about anyone and he's already applied for a Pro
Tour license for next year for a team he might not even have... because he
knows it's going to be around.
