That's a real shame, one of the top teams and can't attract a sponsor - just goes to show how tough it must be to attract investment into sports...

A sad day, as above it amazes me that no sponsor could be found.

Does this mean that we now know who the Cav won't be riding for next year?

Times must be hard if the riders are selling off their old kit 🙂

Sad indeed, though I doubt it was a case of no sponsors stepping forward. More a case of no sponsor wanting to invest the kind of money the team is likely to now need to operate given a massively increasing wage bill, should they have managed to keep Cav on for the future...

@bikebouy - exactly what i was thinking. probably not helped by the fact cav is after a 100% pay rise at the same time, and the sponsors probably don't want to pay that. Wouldn't want to have been in soapy bob's position.
