An Open Letter to Michael Ball
Anyone remember the John Stewart appearance on Crossfire a while back? He tore into Tucker Calrson and asked him, and his show, to “please stop, because you’re hurting America.”
I think someone should do the same for Michael Ball and anyone helping him get Rock Racing off the ground. This is not what the sport of cycling needs right now. He is hurting the sport. I know times are tough and there aren’t a lot of contracts out there, but this cannot be helping. Looking at two teams that have chosen to innovate this year – Slipstream and Rock and Republic, we see a stark contrast between doing things “different” and doing things “wrong”. For anyone who loves this sport and wants to see it rise like a phoenix from the ashes of Tours past, what Michael Ball is doing, saying and paying for can only bee seen as toxic. Please stop. You’re hurting our sport.
