Not seen this posted anywhere on here but sad to see Europcar withdraw especially as they have just moved up to WT status. At least they have given the team 12 months to find a sponsor but still worrying times.

    I saw this too . I'm surprised how long they have lasted to be honest. They only came in as a stop gap and certainly weren't thinking world tour budgets - I think it was very modest at the start. They only continued if TVoK re-signed which he did - the payback for their investment has been massive - TVoK and Pierre Rolland seeing to that backed up by a hard working team Gautier, Pichot Reza , Coquard etc under Bernadeau's excellent direction
