I would disagree, the day before the event is the best day to make your point, this has probably been simmering for a while and talks would have been happening behind the scenes. The riders knew before leaving home that this was going to go down, and and I would be surprised if crankworks/red bull didn't know, and just figured they would ride instead of risk loosing a pay cheque.

Oh man, I could beat this topic with a broken stick until it returned back to life. Rampage athletes get an appearance fee ever since 2015. Why not the slope guys? Most the slope guys dont actually make that much. I did Pretty good for 15 years. Id average probably 65K USD all said and done over those 15 years. Less when I started and the bigger years in the middle. That is sponsorships and winnings and any travel budgets. BUT I would spend at least 30k of that on traveling and expenses. So that 3k a month before taxes...

If the fans are paying a gate fee, the riders should be getting paid at a minimum to show up. Like every other stick and ball sport with a paid venue. The lowest level MLS guys and CFL guys doing it for the "love of the game" with small niche audiences are still getting enough salary to pay rent, even though it is terrible pay compared to big USA league sports.

Some of you are missing the fact that the riders aren't asking their frame and parts sponsors to pay more. Just Red Bull, who make a mint off of these life threatening events.

Love all these people claiming that the riders are wrong for asking for this. These guys put their life on the line for crankworx and redbull to make money. They should receive an appearance fee. It’s the pinnacle of the sport. I sure as hell wouldn’t be doing backflips off two story buildings, but I’d race the same track that the downhill guys do. So don’t make that comparison.

Without the athletes you do not have a show to put on... So ya, they should be paid a base amount to compete, that goes for all professional disciplines where a gate fee is charged to watch the event.

I wonder how it works with MvdP being signed to a bike brand over a team. Does that mean what every team he rides on until '34 will be on Canyon too (a bit like Sagan and Specialized now I come to think of it).

In other news, Mathieu van der Poel has extended his contracts with both his current team Alpecin-Deceunink (until 2028) and Canyon (until 2034, one of the longest deals in cycling history). https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/im-still-hungry-for-more-mathieu-van-d… https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.com/racing/news/mathieu-van-der-poel-s…

Let me help you with where to start- don't talk about things you have no idea about. In 2021, more than 30,000 rape reports were filed by women in France. 1,413 convictions were made that year. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1103661/rape-on-woman-age-victim-fr… https://www.statista.com/statistics/940739/convictions-for-rape-in-fran…

You are the one being misleading. less than 10% of rape actually get reported to the police. The remaining 90% are still rape/SA. 20% of victims don't report to the police because of victim blaming from the aggressor or public discourse. another 20% of victims don't report to the police because they fear retaliation from the aggressor And another 15% of victims don't report to the police because they don't believe the police or the judicial systems would be helpful in their case.
