[Green Edge] Shayne Bannan, Gerry Ryan and an Aussie Pro Team for 2012?

Because the Manager made the final call on whether Ewan rode the 2018 TDF - I've previously posted this information.

I doubt Ewan even cares, beyond concern for the riders.

My posts was a throw away line but factual in content.

So are they folding?

No - Gerry Ryan has committed to the team for 2021 and 2022 - Previously posted that ownership instability would affect their transfer period.

Okay. But this period really does not look great for them.

Team Bike Exchange Jayco will now be known as Team Jayco Alula - The Saudi Conservation resort which joined as a partner in 2022 will now be a 2nd title sponsor - Apparently they are tipping in good sponsorship dollars.

Apparently not enough dollars to become first title sponsor.

It's hard to compete with Gerry Ryan's finances.

I definitely can't.

I hope for a sensible typographical solution to this: when written AlUla it looks all kinds of wrong. It is often written as all caps: ALULA, that's not too bad. But if it is meant to be two words (and that is surely the reason why the u is capitalised), then let's have Al Ula or Al-Ula (or Al-'Ula, which I believe is more correct in Arabic)

But please not what looks like an unpronounceable stream of capitalised vowels with a pitiful looking lower case one at the end.

But I suspect we will generally just refer to it as Jayco anyway.
