Cost of having a team in the TDF
It's funny you should mention Bianchi because there have been some
reports that they are having some financial troubles. They have of course denied it as Coast did countless times before. As they say "where there's smoke there's fire".....Fingers crossed that this isn't the case. It's worrying when Once and iBanesto decide to leave cycling....especially in the current climate but I thought Euskaltel Euskadi were a Spanish Team, no? Sadly their promising cyclist Mayo would seem to be heading for greener pastures.....Oh and there's Kelme......I know they are considered a small budget team hence the reason they struggle to keep hold of the talent they continuely find.

Okay there is US Postal from USA. = Once and IBanesto won't be sponsors next year. That both were spanish sponsor. There will be no big team from spain next year - it looks like= that at moment. |

Cost of having a team in the TDF
Doesn't Australia have some connection with I-Team Nova? They joined up
with a Belgian team? Cheers John SH wrote: It could be a better idea for a large Aussie sponsor to assist an existing team that is already looking after Aussies.

Only for 2003 Binanci gave the money alone. It's worrying when Once and iBanesto decide to leave cycling....especially in the current climate but I thought Euskaltel Its a Basque team. The Basquenland is a region in France and spain. But the people see it as thier basquian team - not as a spanish team. And this time don't belong to the "big players" like Once or iBanesto. |
