>"The pie could be divided more fairly." Wout van Aert (31) is a rider who thinks beyond his bike. About the financial sustainability of the race, for example. From an interview in 'De Tijd': "If you charge a 5 euro entrance fee, that doesn't mean it's not more popular."

>He's considering the American NBA, among other things, as an interesting revenue model. "When I see how the NBA controls its playing field, yet still lets the teams share in the TV revenue, cycling could learn a lot from that."

>"In cycling, we're perhaps a little too focused on charm and the popular atmosphere. Charging 5 euros for entry doesn't mean it's not popular anymore. Cyclocross also charges an entry fee, and there's nothing more popular."

I can't wait till this absolute loser retires, fag does one trip of america and can't stop licking corporate boots
