Prominent Continental team managers have been left underwhelmed by the UCI's new training compensation fee rule, saying that sum offered is "more symbolic than anything".
The rule, which will come into effect this June, will see riders' development teams receive €2,000 for each year they were part of the roster, once they sign their first WorldTour contract. The sum will be paid by the WorldTour team and will cover every season from the year of the rider’s fifteenth birthday, for a maximum of eight years.
