    Yes, this is true.

    La Poste were rumoured to be taking over but that has been denied.

    Was talk of the regional sponsor stepping up.
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    L'Equipe has been reporting this week that the Vendée region is stepping up and sponsoring it - as the team is from the region anyway.

    €6 million is needed. The region council will put up €2 million with the remaining €4 million coming from a mix of local businesses.

    Main sponsor of the Vendee then a whole host of other sponsors. Sound familiar?

    Which is a shame because Bbox Bouygues Telecom Team have done very well this year. Especially in the Giro and the TDF!

    Er, well it will be the same team, just a different headline sponsor. What difference does it make?

    hope they do get a new sponsor and keep going.

    Don't forget that Caisse D'Espagne is the same team as Reynolds from the 80s that then became Banesto etc and is still going.

    they will be missed - not least because it was fun listening to all the commentators trying to pronounce it....
