Fernando Alonso buys Euskaltel's license

[JRanton]

rumours are that Rijs is selling stuff to the Danish continental teams.
can ALONSO come and support Saxo?

Interesting. Riis looks and sounds far from convincing in the videos posted on the front page of CN.

and what would that be? A pink and Riis' own yellow jersey? Or how about the kitchen bus? Five course meals for the club riders.

Seriously, pro cycling teams carries almost zero tangible assets.

And Alonso should stop playing around and build a team from scratch like IAM if he wants to engage with the sport.

after the Euskaltel mess, Alonso could get Alberto now instead of waiting until 2015

Funny how the team does that virtually every year. If they had any sense they would just throw the old stuff on the tip like every other sane person.

Anything obsolete or due to be replaced. Last year among other things they sold the old kitchen truck to another PT team. There was no fanfare beyond hannah mentioning it in visiting the old truck in one of her video blogs.

Grand Prix 24/7 quotes Alonso's manager speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport (must be in the print issue only; can't find the article online) saying plans for his cycling team's 2015 launch are "well advanced." Whatever that means. Claims they already have some sponsorship commitments. If I understand their flaky translation to English, he's saying the team's official kick-off will be on the first rest day of the 2014 TdF.

They lied.

Alonso says his plans for a team by 2015 are scuppered.

"Het was mijn bedoeling om in 2015 een wielerteam op te starten, maar door omstandigheden is het er niet van gekomen", verklaarde Alonso.
