    I’m sure they had many sponsors? Admittedly, I’ve done zero research…

        “One of the riders in the lead group was Britain’s Owain Doull. British Cycling is sponsored by oil company Shell.”

          Huh, so indeed one of those shy sponsors that don’t appear on the main page in the footer.

          So reading through that, the Shell sponsorship is about bike chain lubricants and electric charging. Yes, very evil things.

            Is shell paying you to run defence? I don’t get it. Shell=bad and you should google it if you don’t know why
