Cycling-No motorhomes for riders? We’ll use them for staff, say Sky (Reuters)
Motorhomes may be banned for riders on the Tour de France as the International Cycling Union (UCI) looks to preserve the fairness between the teams, Team Sky have the intention on taking them to the race for their staff. “We’ll allow the staff in the motorhomes,” team manager Dave Brailsford said on Monday as he named his nine-man squad for the Tour. The move, he explained, will free up hotel rooms and allow some riders to enjoy a full room for themselves while they usually sleep in twin rooms in hotels provided by organisers.
