Some good news, Cofidis have announced they are continuing sponsorship of their cycling team for another two years;

Given their start to the year you wonder if they could have delayed the announcement until after the Tour.

    Thought they'd been around for longer than 13 years. Good news though.

    That's got to be Lotto, surely.

    Lotto have been sponsoring a pro team for 26 seasons now. Second are Vlaanderen with 17 years, then Rabobank with 16 followed by Cofidis with 14, the same as Francaise des Jeux and Ag2r.

    There was a column showing this in the current edition of Pro Cycling.
