Sad.

I hope that the team continues, although the image of cycling and the current economic atmosphere are not prone to encouraging the sponsorship of a pro racing team. Several riders have moved on already.

This is not new, I think.  Legeay has been looking for new sponsors all season - like Gerolsteiner I guess he has now admitted defeat in his search.

Indeed. It is just that Sunday will be their last race, and no sponsor has been announced to take the team over yet.

There is talk that Legeay is working with British Cycling from 2009 to set up the proposed pro-team.
