(on one of the, admittedly, all too rare occasions that such events are run in parallel and as such the demand can quite unequivocally be made)
made of the sponsor (Jayco) that supports this race, as well a sun tour, sponsors Uni-SA, the national team, and basically bankrolls Greenedge – at the first race greenedge were appearing in. Might have garnered a paragraph or two, even in the cycling media, particularly when nothing else of anything is happening elsewhere.

As it was many outside headlines, at her expense on occasion, that only really reported the name calling. A predictable finding of disrepute, a predictable psuedo slap on the wrist, much merriment at the name calling from the cycling media, twitterati et al, a new soubriquet for McQuaid, feck all real change or even the slightest movement forwards in the debate (arguably the reverse judging from your link in the live thread) and they will all no doubt be back next year to race for unequal prize money once again under a UCI still headed by McQuaid.
When asked the guy announcing the “fine” and the riders team manager are now on record disputing her analysis and demands at the present time, and very little on the record support of any kind for her from any quarter apparent for what she said.

The Jayco guy seems like the kind of sponsor who could have been “embarrased” into giving another 5K to level it up, or at the very least to send down a demand that the money was spread equally. (Even the type of sponsor that could be convinced there was more positive mileage to be made by being at the forefront of such a change. He seems like one of the good guys who spends plenty enough)
