Not good news !!!    

[Shebeen]

Of all the teams this really is one of the 'good' ones. If I was in the position of wanting to throw money at Pro cycling this would be a no brainer. Must be some cannondale fanboys with deep pockets out there

[Cav']

The first thing Vaughters did would've been to ask for the funding shortfall from Cannondale, Oath, Drapac or POC. That was obviously unsuccessful which I find strange, as it would mean they also lose the chance of having their products on World Tour level. 

 

PING Oleg Tinkov

Tinkov ..... "cycling's business model is unsustainable"....prophetic?

Maybe he had a change of heart..

Or have money burning his pocket again.

A week after Urán’s new contract is announced, Vaughters confirms the team is facing a $7 million budget shortfall, and the team could collapse.

 

Coincidence? 

 

Kidding.

Maybe they should approach Garmin again.

Yip, with current exchange rate thanks to a couple of fools who cannot think before they speak in Government I can only take the $25 dollar option - oh well, at least I am helping in a tiny way !!

Uran Uran offered to not accept any offers from other teams for at least two weeks.

 

What a PRO.

absolutely - he is the gem in their crown currently after TdF, so a really decent move to hold out by him.

I was wondering last night while watching a GCN video...behind the scenes going through the AG2R setup....do these teams receive all the groupsets, wheelsets, kit, parts, saddles, powermeters....etc for free or do they get it at a discounted rate?
