Sky to end Team Sky sponsorship

Thanks for mentioning this series @AndyGajda - I’ve watched the 5 episodes on YouTube in the last week, it’s a cracking watch :+1: I wasn’t in to cycling back in 2012, so it was good to see some of the footage that I’ve read about in various autobiographies since then.

This would be an interesting twist. Brailsford is meeting with the Colombian Government for potential sponsorship.

In the most optimistic scenario that would be worth about 1-2m per year based on ASO latest accounts, not to be sniffed at but not a game changer (check out INNRNG blog)

Edit - ah didnt your more recent comment

Soon to be “Team Ineos” by the sounds of it:

He’s not short of a few quid, so looks like they’ll only get stronger…

I am now going to (a) end my Sky subscription and (b) buy all my petrochemicals from Ineos.

Sounds like a publicist’s nightmare. Team Sky of all people being sponsored by a chemicals company.

Fracking and single-use plastics. What’s not to like. :rofl:
