Looks like it's the end of Team Halfords Bike Hut:
Cycling Weekly
The Halfords team is no more, we gather. No word from British Cycling about it.
Ed Clancy and Andrew Tennant off to Candi
Rob Hayles and Ian Wilkinson to Endura

    It was only ever a practice run for the main BC effort (Sky) anyway, so no surprise to see it go.

    The jersey and shorts weren't the worst but the helmets definitely were...

    None of the bigger UK squads. Candi still on Pinarello, Endura on Giant, Sports Beans on Wilier and it goes with saying - Rapha Condor on Condor and new team Raleigh on Grifters :)

    That's B0llocks (JC) for my mate Alistair. He was riding with Endura last season in some pretty good races. If that's the calibre of guys they're signing then he'll probably end up having to get a real job... Still, at least they wont be tearing up the CDNW races next year!
