In the latest episode of the Cyclingnews podcast – brought to you in association with Sportful, Pinarello and Floyd's of Leadville – the Cyclingnews team ventures to the small northern village of Linton, in Yorkshire, for the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team Ineos launch.

Team owner Jim Ratcliffe, Dave Brailsford and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chris Froome were on hand to show off the new team kit and the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:new Pinarello F12 bike, but the majority of the press event was centred around the controversy surrou🏅nding Ineos's business interests, and most no💖tably their fracking policies, which have drawn criticism from environmental groups.

Ratcliffe and Brailsford both defended the team's position, while we hear from four-time 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France champion Froome on a flurry of issues, from the moral questions over team ownership, to Tour de France training, to the departure of Rod Ellin🔜gworth, and how the news filtered through over a new team ownership after Sky announced their departure.

Philippa York, who will be joining Cyclingnews throughout the four-day 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de Yorkshire, gives her take on the Ineos controve♑rsy and argues that the team was give𒈔n a slightly harsh time at the press event. She also shares her experience of team presentations, including the time Luc Leblanc danced on stage, and the time a TVM boss had his daughter jump out of a cake, mid-presentation.
