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, fight back against what we might call ‘Big Tour’ (the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia are almost the only races that have enough muscle to turn a profit), create a more ordered calendar and get the best riders to race each other more often all the way through the season.
