“I wish he’d just shut up forever”: Patrick Lefevere blasted for claiming that women’s cycling is “being pushed artificially” The controversial Belgian boss was also criticised for his flawed understanding of cycling’s minimum wage cycling
, Lefevere reiterated his lofty ambitions for the team, underlined by the winter signing of perennial GC contender Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, as well as the acquisition of former Team Sky director Servais Knaven as a DS.
“We got to talking, of course about cycling, and it was only then that I realized how marginal the sport of women's cycling actually was at that time,” he said. “I definitely believe in the potential of women’s cycling, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that it’s being artificially pushed at the moment,” he said.
“There are certainly riders who earn that amount, and some much more, but today the top in women’s cycling is just not wide enough to justify that minimum wage.”
