The real reason for leaving France (and get a Luxembourgian team, me sticking with that is the price you'll have to pay ) is obviously not (only) tax reduction, but also saving the French social security contributions as it allows to sign the riders as self-employed instead of employees - which throws another shade on this dubious move

And that's actually a real issue as I've learned from the Pais Vasco coverage on German Eurosport thanks to Jens Voigt.

We deny this scandelous fake news. The reason for us to have our riders self-employed got nothing, NOTHING I say, to do with social security and saving money! This is just a rival trying to trick riders to do worse for themself!
Yes our riders will be selfemployed but it is about freedom and liberty! The chance to control their own lives and career in a much better way then being controlled by strict employment! We offer our riders the possibility to let go of the shackles that other teams put on them!

It's revealing that everything is about "freedom" (of social security).
There are some teams who believe in fraternity and equality as well, but you've probably never heard of those things in Luxembourg ...
