It’s even easier than minor league. There are no qualifying times. You just need the money to travel and register. If you look at last years start list for the ‘World Championships’ it contained 1 Canadian, 1 chick from the Netherlands, then the rest are Americans.

Countries don’t send athletes to represent in masters comps. It’s a bunch of rich people looking for titles to brag about

Holy shit, it's sub minor league? Is there any kind of money in it?

That's hilarious - that's like winning the trophy in a corporate softball league and then pretending like you're a world class athlete on twitter.

"I won the world series along with everyone else over at John Smith's Paint Supply Store now let me inject my opinion on high level sports into every conversation imaginable".

Why does no one call him out on talking about the Olympics? Considering he's basically an amateur - his opinion is (even more than previously thought) worthless. Is it how much of a bully he is or a general ignorance on how cycling works?

In "The Fundamental Attribution Error" Rhys (a.k.a. "Alison") mentions the kind of money at stake:

Both Alison and Sheila are in a prestigious professional criterium. There is significant money on the line (for bike racing, at least): $1500 for first place.

$1500 probably barely covered his travel from Canada + Bike Shipping + Room and Board + other costs. He went that far out of his way to beat up women at a local, amateur, bike race just to pretend like it was a major deal.

I didn't think I could regard Rhys any lower than I already did - but holy fuck what an absolute horse's ass he is.

@YoloMaps I've been wondering too. I read some articles where it touches on the difference and Rhys doesn't seem to be the only one to be using thay differentiation their advantage, like this:

The Fundamental Difference Between Being an Adult World Champion Versus Being a Master’s World Champion

“It took me 18 years of breaking my back to win a gold medal at the Pan-American Championships in the Adult Black Belt division.”

Not sure that "ranks" is the right term but...

But why can the people in these lower rank tournament be called world champion - is it because you are the "world champion of the Masters rank" versus the "World Champion" of the highest rank (Olympics)?

And the World Champion can't claim the "Masters World Champion" because he didn't participate in the masters?

Shouldn't there be a like a better term like "Masters Cycling Champion" rather than "Masters World Champion" since there can only be one World Champion, the one who stands at the peak of the sport?

And what are the different ranks? Adult, Masters, Olympics?

Masters is for old people, adult is 18 and up?

Rhys is doing like his PHD thing, it is technically correct but he's abusing the proper use when the common use is different; Rhys is a philosopher not a doctor, and I've mentioned this before, from the above link on Jiu Jitsu Times uses this exact example:

Let us compare this to the idea of attaining a doctorate degree. When someone says they are a doctor, you immediately assume that they are a medical doctor. It is universally accepted that in all walks of life, whatever culture, whatever country you are from, if someone says they are a doctor, you assume medical doctor. A dentist would say they are a dentist. They would not be lying if they said they are a doctor, but what conversation have you ever witnessed[...]

I have legitimately met PhD’s that call themselves ‘a doctor’, when they couldn’t even tell you any basic anatomy of the head or neck; none of the cranial nerves, none of the muscles of facial expression, none of the intrinsic neck muscles, none of it. A medical doctor, a dentist, and a chiropractor could easily rattle off any of this information. This just gives you the wide ranging technicality that the term ‘doctor’ has in our society, as does the term ‘World Champion.’ A ‘PhD’ is a Philosophical Doctorate, technically the term doctor is in their title. Again, even if I’m a Doctor of Chiropractic, I’ll still only introduce myself in everyday conversation as a Chiropractor. I stand with pride in what it is rather than pretending like I would rather be someone else.

I should note that sports competition is a subject I know very little about, so this is why I am asking, to understand.

Thank you,

Masters in cycling starts at 30, and the masters world champs start at 35. Most elite females (who have won titles as elites and are now masters age) don’t race masters.

The UCI puts on the masters world champs once a year. And elite athletes don’t speak up about masters calling themselves world champions because we know who’s won the actual world champs. But with masters they just out number us. There are up to 10 masters age groups (and titles) for every one elite event. Masters are a protected species, let them have their inflated glory.

For Rachel and the olympics... I don’t know how she’ll do it.
This is what needs to happen

1-Canada needs to qualify 2 riders (they currently don’t have the points so right now Canada has a limit of 1 female sprinter for Tokyo)

2-Rachel needs to prove she’s that one rider Canada should bring. She can do that at nationals, but she’s stopped talking about that

3-To win nats, she needs to beat the current top Canadians
Laurianne 10.4
Kelsey 10.8
Amelia-11.0
Me-11.5
Sarah-11.7
Rachel 11.8

4-Rachel then needs to qualify for the Olympics via the world cups and world champs. BUT! If she competes in an Elite World Cup or World Champs, she will not be able to race masters for 2 years.

5-once qualified, she can then race the next Olympics.

I just want to say thanks for all this information. As you probably noticed, none of us here are really cycling experts so this is very helpful for seeing things in the proper perspective.

Also, I just noticed the "#plantbasedathlete" hashtag, which is for vegans Is this dude seriously claiming that he built the Strategy Gut while being an athlete on a vegan diet?

Petty but here's another clangorous grammatical error. (English learners: it should be "my phone has fallen.")

Anyway, why should Rhys concern himself with grammar when the sponsorships are rolling in!

I can't wait to see what this turns out to be. Foxy Moxy branded 'roids? Rachel McKinnon x Shimano pink cycling cleats in men's extended sizes? Rhys on a cereal box?

Of course another troon who is a pervert.
He's as boastful as Rhys too. His tweets oscillate between how great he is, being an AGP and how ciswoman should shut the fuck up.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

I thought he already made more as a pro athlete than as a tenured professor. I’m sure he’s posted that before. Could it be he... lost a sponsor?

 

[YoloMaps]

For the money involved. UCI championship events don’t have cash on them. You might get a bonus from your national federation or pro team. But there isn’t much in it.

The UCI class 1 event in Japan does have a prize purse.
1st 6000 yen 2nd 4000 yen 3rd 2000 yen
The real draw card to these races are the Olympic qualifying points on offer.

The American GP’s that just happened do carry a decent prize pool. But they don’t get you any Olympic qualifying points or international rankings. Because no points are on offer, the international pro riders don’t race. It’s not worth it. And if they do turn up, it’s to promote the event and have a training run.

This year at the Vision GP (where Rachel sucked) there were a few internationals. We were given $250 each just to turn up. Woop, that’s real cash for being an international rider

Between prize money and appearance grants I was able to cover my trip. That’s about this kind of money involved in racing the American circuit. I wouldn’t call that a living. I’m not going to brag about being a pro over it. Those races were just a good vacation/training camp.

@YoloMaps, do you know about the sponsorship situation in the Masters categories? Rhys keeps bragging about getting sponsors but if, as you say, not even pro (Elite) athletes care about Masters I don't see how effective sponsorship is from the commercial point of view.

If Rhys were such sticker of rules, he should respect World Triathlon's decision. International Triathlon Union officials deemed the British pair were in breach of rules that state athletes must not "finish in a contrived tie situation where no effort to separate the finish times has been made". This is not good sportsmanship at all.

The gap is wide because you are the only MAN, Rhys.

+ + +

It is against college rules to deny a tranny tenure. "Dotson" is Kristie Dotson, whose specialties are "Black feminism and feminist epistemology, and critical philosophy of race."

 

[YoloMaps]

I don't know about Rachel's situation. But most sponsored riders get their gear from local bike shops. large bike companies (Fuji, Lazer, Shimano, Specialized...) have budgets to sponsor athletes. They usually give free or discounted swag. sometimes, if your profile is big enough, they'll cover race costs and might throw you some cash. but you are then expected to @ and hashtag everything.

the other option is speaking gigs and appearances. if you are a world champion you can get invited to talk at events. at that point, you state your appearance fee, and cha ching it's payday.

I suspect Rachel is making her money by making appearances and talks, not for her riding. This is why the Masters in Masters World Champion gets forgotten. and it's a World record (not an age group best time). All the omission or details makes Rachel seem more important than she is, and the general non cycling community has no idea they're being fooled.

Schools don’t deny us tenure, dude, because it’s not ours by right. Three people thought you had not earned tenure and you had to appeal that assesssment.

I wanted to go back and check what words Rhys used to describe the money he makes from "being a pro athlete" - if he said money from "cycling" or "sponsorship" etc.
Every time he's said Sponsorship Contracts and his AGENT is securing more.
Just a cursory look and he's "secured" around 15 "sponsorship contracts" - with the "negotiations" of his agent.

The only sponsorship I can see - and I'm being generous - is his most obvious one. His bike gear.

I have a feeling that Rhys tallies up all the swag he gets at RRP prices and equates it to income generated from his "sport" along with whatever speaking fees this grifter gets.

Just looking and Rhys may get around $96K being an associate professor. If he's making more cash in being a pro athlete than that, he would be able to quit his job and focus on it full time.... one would think, wouldn't they?
Imagine how much more he'd get if he just did that.

Something tells me neither assessment is correct and Rhys is, as always, incapable of telling the truth.
