saintnextlifetime Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 They have certainly put a lot of money into British cycling and our first of 3 British TDF winners and as cycling teams go they certainly have been one of the most successful ones . Will another British sponsor wade in and keep the team going? One thing is certain and that is Les Francaises will be loving this news . .

saintnextlifetime Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Dave |Brailsford was apparently surprised when S*y said they were pulling out of the sponsorship deal . Brailsford is already seeking a new sponsor for his team hoping to have a deal in place before the 2019 TDF. He admits that it will likely be a foreign company they get even though the stars of the current set up race under a British license. .

I think it's to do with the Murdoch's losing control of Sky - it was James (son of Rupert) who was the one behind the cycling sponsorship.

Another reason might be , aerodynamics. . Cycling is all about aerodynamics now since riders having weight restrictions on bikes . They found that if you send a rider out in the kind of conditions we are currently experiencing in shorts and short sleeves , they get goosebumps which are better for the rider areodynamics (boundary layer effect or something) . Though sadly no one has found a way to make the goosebumps permanent ( though there has now been speculation that keeping riders frightened by telling them the sponsor has pulled out might just work). .
