The One Cycling project is in danger of killing the fun with facts

- 

You are probably vaguely aware of the One Cycling project. You are almost certainly no more aware than that because the project itself is vague. It says much about us as a fan community that, despite none of us really knowing what it is, we know that we don’t like it.

As best I can judge, the aims of One Cycling are to use investment from the Middle East to create a closer relationship between teams and races,

‘Big Tour’ (the Tour and the Giro are almost the only races that have enough ordered calendar and get the best riders to race each other more often all the way through the season.

I don’t really mind most of this, apart from some “sports-washing” doubts. we really want the big names to race each other more often?
