    They already have the TDU on Sky, don't they'll want anymore races otherwise they'll limit their exposure and a lot of races have to be on free to air stations.

    If sky is backing a professional team will the cycling shift from ITV4 to sky?

    Why would Sky pay a fortune to have their logo all over a team,... only for that team to be shown on their own channel to existing customers.... !!!

    ... the perfect situation for Sky is to have cycling commentators constantly having to say "GB Sky team" on rival networks channels etc... and for the press media to have pictures of SKY liveries crossing the line first....

    Because if sky don't show it then they don't want to know about it. They show every round of super League games but totally neglect to mention the sports biggest most historical comp - The challenge cup when that is on. Why? Because they don't have the rights to it. Therefor it doesn't exsist. If Sky are having a team you can be sure that they will want to dominate cycling on TV so that cycling enthusiasts who don't have sky sports will get it so they can watch the sport they love.

    Sky don't do ANYTHING which doesn't mean a increase in subscribers and with that profit.
