Why did USN pull out from sponsorship?

[martelpypie]

 

Do anybody know why Francois Theron and mates lost their sponsorship? Does the boss of USN require a new Merc?

Maybe the sponsor just got fed-up with cycling and their moaning?

[Bikalot]

maybe because brandon left a short while ago and he was in a sense the sponser pulling rider of the team

will someone please elaborate on this statement............  I am not sure of this but I might have an answer or two. 

 

But would like to know who and what we are talking about before I open my mouth

To avoid an unwanted pre... Err, maybe you should just change your topic heading a little.

Yes like "Why did USN withdraw from Sponsorship"  that post heading leaves you open to abuse

Garmin DCM adds new firepower to the line-up

After a very turbulent few days for the riders

of team USN that resulted in the title sponsor exiting from the sport

it was team Garmin DCM who came to the rescue of two top elite riders.

 

I assume it is USN that pulled out

 

Just curious why?

I dont know or care really, but theres lots of reasons sponsors leave a campaign, maybe it just ran its course and they will move onto other campaigns, maybe they felt there was not sufficient exposure for cost and theres more cost effective ways of getting their message out, maybe they had personality / Business clashes that couldnt be resolved, whatever it was it wasnt because the MD "felt like a new Merc" as you put it - these decisions are usually carefully thought about and pre calculated, and seldom decided overnight.

Personally, I think USN has better options for advertising.
