Chloë Turblin on antanut haastattelun ranskalaiselle nettisivustolle/lehdelle liittyen siihen, miksi hän lähti viime vuonna perustetusta Health Mate Ladies Teamista. Laura Vainionpää ajoi viime vuonna myös kyseisessä joukkueessa, mutta siirtyi täksi vuodeksi S-Bikes Bodhi Cycling Teamiin (itse hieman siirtoa ihmettelin, kun Health Mate Ladies Teamista tuli kuitenkin UCI-joukkue, mutta tämän jutun jälkeen en enää ihmettele niin paljon).
Juttu on ranskaksi, ja käännös Google translatella. Kyllä siitä nyt selvää saa, mutta kaikki lauseet eivät ehkä ole ihan täydellisiä. Lyhykäisyydessään Turblin lähti tallista siksi, että hänelle ei maksettu palkkaa, ja annettiin ymmärtää, että se on ihan normaalia, että naisille lähestulkoon hyvää hyvyyttään tarjotaan tilaisuus ajaa UCI-tallissa ja päästä kisoihin, joten ei siitä nyt mitään palkkaa ainakaan makseta! Mikäli nyt tulkitsin tuota käännöstä oikein, yhdessä helmikuun kisassa Turblin joutui kesken kisan miettimään, että ei nyt vaan saa kaatua ja hajottaa pyöräänsä, koska hänellä ei ole rahaa ostaa uutta pyörää. Tämä ilmeisesti oli vielä Health Mate -tiimin aikaan, sillä helmikuussa hän vaihtoi tallia. Ja käsittääkseni ei tiimiltä olisi herunut uutta pyörää, jos nykyinen olisi hajonnut. Olisiko sitten pitänyt omilla rahoilla ostaa se, ja siihen ei olisi ollut varaa, koska tallissa ajohan tapahtuu ihan pelkkänä hyväntekeväisyytenä. Kuulostaa ihan ammattilaisuudelta..
Chloë Turblin: "For them, it is normal that we are not paid"
Professional cyclist in a UCI team, Chloë Turblin rushed the Health Mate team in February. At a time when women's cycling is getting more media attention, she recounts the extreme precariousness that affects a large part of the pack and the position of weakness that prevents her from devoting herself 100% to cycling.
On Facebook, you posted a long message explaining that you slammed the door of Health Mate training. The word precariousness comes back. You were poorly paid?
Chloë Turblin: "I was never going to be paid while I was working in a UCI professional team, I stopped studying to be a pro, and now the repayment dates for my student loan are coming to an end. . "
You were the only one in the team not to be paid?
CT: "No, the team does not pay the majority of its runners, very few girls have paid contracts, some are entitled to compensation, they have paid holidays, and the manager offered me Black missions in the wholesale team's communication, presentations, etc. It must have been distinct from the bike, but from a moment, this work interfered with my selections. "
So you were in a weak position ...
CT: "The manager told me he was not happy with my job, he threatened me, and if it went on like that, he warned me he would not pick me for the next races. For him, I was a bad person who worked badly, it went into conflict and things got disproportionate. "
What did he blame you for?
CT: "I was criticized for not having done a job on time, I had two months to make this order, and since I only played the game a month and a half, I could not respect it. was impossible to take two full time for the team, I had to terminate my contract. "
How did your team justify not paying you?
CT: "They justify themselves by telling us that, for us, it's a huge opportunity to participate in competitions of this level, for them, it's normal that we are not paid. to be part of a pro team.This is common in the sport.This year, in the team, only one girl must have a contract paid.The others are not entitled while they have the same number After hours, it's not unique to women's cycling, all women's sports experience this precariousness. "
Difficult to fill the fridge ...
CT: "With so many hours of racing and training, we have to be 100% dedicated to our team, and the teams also require that we be at a specific place on a specific date. without financial compensation, to work side by side, the employer must accept the constraints of training, it is the snake who bites his tail. "
But you did not stop.
CT: "I bounced at Multum, a Belgian national team, because I had no more equipment, I had to buy a bike, I'm saving you the cost that it represents ... And it's up to me to do the The image can make you laugh, but it's crucial: on the Het Nieuwsblad (on March 2nd), I was at the head of the pack and I told myself: "What are you doing? Chloe, you fall right now, your bike has to pay for everything. "You can think of your own gear during the race."
What we do not see in the men's peloton?
CT: "In men, all professionals are paid, and it's totally legitimate, take the level of rewards, it's another world, we will always stay away even if the media advance."
Let's go back to Het Nieuwsblad, something improbable and so symbolic of the lack of esteem given to female cyclists ...
CT: "Yes, the women's race (part ten minutes after the men) had to be stopped so as not to disturb the men's peloton (part in solitary breakaway, Nicole Hanselmann had caught the other race) The organization did not "It makes us very anxious to see that, they want to help us by running both races the same day to improve the media coverage, in the end it remains unequal."
Are there solutions to reduce the precariousness of the platoon?
CT: "Women's sport is progressing, I'm not going to spit in. In 2020, there are plans for women's cycling by the UCI, they want to introduce a minimum wage, and that's fine. it usually takes time and I do not think everything will be settled next year and there is so much to do ... "
In the meantime, you have launched a pot to finance your 2019 season, right?
CT: "It's not me who launched it, but yes it's open ... I'm pretty embarrassed to ask for help.At the amateur level, it's already done but not at the professional level ... There I am always looking I did not want to live in the North anymore, but since my team is Belgian, I have to stay at the border, I have to travel to the competitions with my car after having 300 terminals all alone and getting up to 5 am I arrive next to Chantal Blaak and Marianne Vos in their motorhome, very warm, in this situation, we can not compete.

Jos joku osaa ranskaa, niin voisiko ystävällisesti lukea tuon jutun ja korjata jos käännöksessä on jotain kovin epäselviä kohtia.
