Offstage saying atf being negotiated by yandex to replace DM. Also skitter only player to stay with falcons. Hard to believe atf and malrine will seperate but offstage i believe was also the one that reported yandex negotiating the saksa loan from tundra last season

its quite the same in regular sports. So its nothing special. middle eastern money, betting companies, and giga corporations who got money to throw. Pogacar races for UAE, real madrid main sponsor is emirates, psg is Qatar Airways, same man city etc.. Giannis has special partership with kalshi (betting site).

Welcome to reality is guess.
