Wout signed a lifelong contract with VLB. Has there ever been a similar contract in any sport?

I would say MVDP has a similar deal , Its essentially a career long contract , not a LIFE long

I haven’t listened to all of this podcast yet but this bit is already insane. Imagine being 65 kg and riding 330 watts in zone 2 🫥
