Team Lux: Who's the big sponsor going to be?

sonny73

Any guesses at the big name to be revealed as the main sponsor (if any)? For a giggle I'll have a guess at Red Bull.

Selon nos sources, Maca Loca, une boisson tonifiante, qui est déjà partenaire de la fédération suisse de cyclisme, sera l'un des partenaires de Luxembourg Pro Cycling, l'actuelle dénomination de l'équipe des frères Schleck.

Name refers to project not team name so peloton should be spared yellow and black spotted jerseys

I think that if pro-cycling offered cost effective advertising for low-fare airlines, Ryanair would have been all over it like a rash - at least until Michael O'Leary decided he could cycle the bike better himself and won the "Tour de places that are sort of near France"

A new era of clean cycling begins...again.

Looking at you post there, Phil S, I feel it may be time for Dirk Hofman Motorhomes to move into the big time.

Team Ryanair would be great - the riders would have to sort through their jersey pockets for loose change each time they went back to the team car for a bottle

Could just be that LuxAir have a very rich cycling fan at the top. They've sponsored Saxo for a few years, so it's possible.

Any more rumours about the French Hypermarkets, Auchan?

Never thought I would say this, but I feel so sorry for Riis.

Guess all that mid-winter team building didn't amount to much after all.

This stuff is delicious. No joke. Can't quite see why the Japanese don't sell it here:



Calpis (pronounced 'Cow-p!ss') is also pretty tasty:

You are another that has good sources.

Another bank then. What would cycling do without the banks? Maybe people should consider that before damning them ; )

Yeah, because sponsoring a cycling team more than makes up for the estimated half a million people who are set to lose their jobs due to the forthcoming funding cuts all thanks to the banks' recklessness, eh? :roll:

Kléber

err, which bank? Belgacom is a telephone company and Jabra makes plastic headsets for call-centre wannabes.

Thank you Kleber. You are another that has good sources.
