    Vacansoleil stopping as main sponsor. Might ask Bianchi to step up

    I thought it was DCM as co-sponsor that were pulling the plug not vacansoleil?
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Indeed, DCM have confirmed they are pulling out, but there seems some uncertainty about Vacansoleil as well... interesting that the team went for a more celeste jersey for the Tour of California. Lining up greater Bianchi involvement perhaps? Or they could just be showcasing the brand for the US market?

    I Twittered them to ask and its true that DCM are gone.

    Vacansoleil are saying nothing official for two more weeks.

    Velonation reporting that Vacansoleil are looking to scale back their financial contribution and that Bianchi are being asked to increase their sponsorship.
