Now I know why Subaru pulled the plug on WRC - it's because they are sponsoring track cycling...
I am missing something here or are they planning to build push-irons from now on

 

thats subaru aus not subaru uk.

 

Subaru France, sponsor the French Biathlon team. Subaru UK sponsor the GB Equine team. IIRC Subaru USA sponsors or did Trek MTB factory team.

 

yeah they get around, they have a big logo on the aus veledrome for the wc over the weekend

 

I get horses and even biathlon but everyone I know who rides a push-iron hates anything with a petrol engine...well maybe with the exception of Sir Chris

 

If you'd said 'everyone I know who rides a horse hates anything with a petrol engine' then I'd have believed you... but a bike?

 

I live in the sticks - everyone farms and has horses but they also love big BHP tractors and grew up with scoobs as they were originally marketed through ag dealers. Cyclists on the other hand post video on YouTube when a car happens to pass them
I may be being a little judgemental to be fair...

 

Subaru also sponsors one of the downhill mountain biking series i compete at ..... at the last round there was a damn tastey subaru PR girly on a stand with two new XV's .... thanks scoob uk .... she made my day! :-)
