Serge Arsenault understand professional sports. But I do not understand why cycling does not act like one. The 64 year-old Canadian WorldTour event organizer and entrepreneur television network has been involved in cycling since 1974, where he covered the Montreal race in the world championship road as a young broadcaster Canadian television. fleece long sleeve cycling sets Today it is called the sport "my lady, I forget everything because I love cycling and I love the pilot." The views Arsenault is unique, because he lived the sport both in terms of turnover as a race producer trying to create a product that you pay international television and on the buy side as the owner of the television network, which includes such products need a permit to satisfy viewers and advertisers. Arsenault said that the management of non-critical ASO Tour "ASO, and I do not blame them, because there is a profit. And I would never say to anyone who has a business," Do not do anything to make a profit. " Beyond the ASO, Arsenault feels the International Cycling Union took place at the rear of the sport beyond its charter. cheap cycle clothing He explains that the UCI is an organ that also acts as an organizer, and it is a conflict. "The whole thing is a complete failure of cycling for nearly 50 years," says Arsenault. "The lack of money is a cancer, and why we have that the cancer is small minds in a small world. Person was intelligent and independent enough to organize the sport. " "The lack of money makes people like slaves. What can we do to have a penny? "He said, putting himself in the shoes of the rhetoric of both teams and drivers desperate search it. Why decades of sports broadcasting, the experience they have their acts together professional Arsenault is frustrated by the inability to recognize their bike obvious potential.cycling pants United States, the number of regular cyclists eclipse snow skiers, golfers and tennis players together, but the pro side of the sport that you are not ready to use huge latent interest. "We have all the ingredients to make the best meal," complained Arsenault. "The drivers, the number of nationalities, the public interest-wise with cyclists. Too jumped on TV, but we need to ensure a product for people to television." "The drivers and teams will sit back and say," Well, we will ensure that our most important events are the best events, not the events better than no-show, "he said. Arsenault said that cycling is not the only one with this problem. Tennis players in front of their sport too long, the timing of rupture athlete when he asserted control over their sport in 1980. And that the courts continue to struggle with his schedule today, unlike cycling, has addressed this issue and continues to do so with dialogues between players and owners, who each share half of their sport business collective. Even with the WorldTour, which aims to create a top of the competition, teams just want to do an event - the Tour de France. Arsenault is adamant that the UCI should play no role in the organization of professional cycling.

"We need to come together and say, we know what's wrong," What's wrong? 'We are all poor. And "the most beautiful sport that could never be, you know what I mean? But we are talking about them, because they all believe that the other is a traitor. ' Cycling eventually moves toward being a profession, Arsenault said: "If the real owners of the team - those strong - pilots and organizers sit at a table and say," Well, now we will organize sports and go to UCI and say that is our goal, which is what we want. ' "We must stop to kneel and say that we are a small sport. We have everything to make an incredible sport bike with money from everyone."
