Tour Sponsorships At Risk

According to a story on a London business site, several Tour de France and general cycling sponsorships are at risk. This shouldn't come as a big surprise, of course. Phonak has already dropped out, as has Skoda.

Festina was the golden opportunity for the pros to take action and clean themselves up. They opted othewise and as a result severed the head of the Golden Goose.

This is precisely what the pro peloton needs and the best news I've heard yet. I hope everyone last sponser pulls out.
