Why Garmin weren't on the original WT list
Worked over by new sponsor

Luckily Mr Ellis can dip into his bank account, eh?
When highly successful and ethical teams can't get sponsors, it does make you wonder if cycling really is the high value advertising medium people think it is.

not good when you get right to the wire and then pull out...
but Sky and Nissan have come into the sponsorship world recently so it shouldn't be impossible, maybe just unlucky for Slipstream."I get paid to make other people suffer on my wheel, how good is that"

Who is Doug Ellis, and why is he bank rolling a cycling team? :?:0

I guess it does but then again this is business and sporting success might not be all they are looking for. I would be interested in the behind the scenes. I am guessing teams like Sky, modelling themselves on big sports teams like Man Utd, might have a better business machine behind them with better planning for marketing etc.
I would be interested in an article such as this one: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/in ... 02011.html comparing the cycling teams business wise.0 -
