Yeah, I noticed that too. It's as if the focus has shifted to grooming the younger racers…
For the record, the athletes pay the CCA to be on the team. I don't recall how it works for athletes on a pro team, but I believe they still contribute. The money covers the cost of jerseys, staff etc. My understanding is that it doesn't cost the CCA anything more to have more athletes represent Canada but I need to confirm that with them. Hopefully we'll have more on this shortly after the final World Cup.
