I don't know. Seems to have 19 rides on STRAAAVAAA and about 40 fairly reasonable results on RaceTec. It always will help it the big boss is enthusiastic about the sport his company (might) sponsor!

 

Edit: I seem to have answered myself then?

 

 

As long as you feel it was an intelligent conversation, you Stalker....

one problem, DiData now a global company, japanese owned. Does that fit into the 'african' team as well as MTN did?

 

I guess so but at least the roots are Safrican. Qubekha soo-shee anyone?

Using that Logic, MTN was not the first African team at TDF, sure Barloworld was there before...

 

It depends where the team registered, if got a global sponsor, even better :D

barloworld HQ in SA, MTN HQ in sa - Di data's parent company HQ in japan - NTT, just think they might have a different vision than what MTN did. BUT doesn't mean that it won't be a good partner

MTN HQ in sa -

Barloworld is an SA company which sponsored a British registered cycling team.

 

The MTN team is registered in SA, no matter where their sponsor is based.

Following MTN's cowardly withdrawal, the FatFossil family are canning our three accounts with this distasteful crowd

 

Dude, go check out the other thread, they did not have a choice, when you bleeding money, negative growth in revenue and major strikes for months its a surprise they sponsored them for so long.

Not their fault I recon... They did however got our boys into the lime light. Finding a new sponsor should be less of a challenge than three years ago. Sponsorships like this are never a long term engagement.
