I did a double take because I read that as Rapha Condor JTL.

I'm pleased for them, they've been a great mainstay of what is a fairly chaotic domestic racing scene.

My double take was even worse. I read JLS

Me too. I thought 'how much are Sky paying him if he can sponsor a team?'

Christ, Greased, you've got worse eyesight than Hans-Michael Holzer running Gerolsteiner and Katusha

Ooh, maybe I should apply for that job at Sky as a DS!

suggest Lampre, Astana, Katusha etc may have more use for your short-sightedness next season

"Risk specialists and employee benefit consultants" Sounds like a made up job! Fair play to them for sponsoring a team though :-)

It's a very shrewd move, far better bang for buck than e.g. the Aon Man Utd deal.

I am a Lloyd's Underwriter, and there is a very strong cycling's-the-new-golf "MAMIL" presence in the Market. Factor in the corporate days/evenings at a crit/nocturne and you realise that there should be a good opportunity to get underwriters and clients out and meeting the riders etc given the relatively down to earth nature of the sport.

I've already been on at our JLT Re reinsurance broker to get me a kit!

Boooooooo!

Good call on the kit though, I know a couple of people at JLT in Brum.

I felt like flooring my mate when he said this, I suppose cyclists also like wearing ridiculous clothes and spending loads of money on their hobby, just hope we don't get the same tw@ts you get at golf.(That's not to say all golfer are but you know the type, wear a visor, bright chequed trousers, talk about their "swing" all the time) :-)
