It is entirely devoid of any of the specificity that either prevents the to, or causes the termination of long term professional road cycling sponsorship. To succeed in putting on a highly successful community event that happens to have a sometimes engaging cycling event tied to it, is hardly filled with secret handshakes after months of intrigue.

American investors always go where the money is, that is the nature of imperialism and the money (in cycling) is in Europe. Notice the flag next to the teams taking the jerseys home at the TDF.
