    I don't know if this has been posted elsewhere but it looks like Specialized and Lululemon Athletica are not renewing their sponsorship from next season. It looks like Velociosports are turning to crowdfunding to find half their budget. See here for further details: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/project-x--13

    I dunno, if one of the biggest women's teams has to resort to what kinda feels more like charity than sponsorship to fund its activities then this can't be good for the sport.

    Perhaps I am a bit of a doom goblin when it comes to women's cycling, but after people have been banging on about how good La Course was for women, I was not expecting to see this…

    I didn't know about this. It's a massive shame that they're losing their sponsorship... I know Lululemon have had their financial issues so not surprised there, but come on Specialized. I'll chip into the crow funding approach, but am sceptical that it's going to be workable as a long-term solution.
