Like the new FDJ kit very much, I would even say it's one of the best kits in the peloton. Will be very easy spot as well.

Reading the article, it's actually a re-branding rather than a new sponsor due to the breaking up of News Corp. News Corp is splitting into two separate companies and 21st Century Fox is going to be the one that continues the sponsorship. The team will remain as Sky Pro Cycling though. The good thing is that the new sponsor is 21st Century Fox, rather than News Corp. News Corp is taking the newspapers, while 21st CF is taking the TV and film businesses. This means 21st CF is likely to be the more stable company, having removed the troubled print businesses out to a separate company so as not to effect what they probably feel will be their main business moving forwards, movies and television.
There is no mention of extra funding, although the article does indicate that the term of the funding has been extended, although it doesn't explicitly state it.

Is that some kind of Bianchi tribute?Afrank said:It will be something light blue themed by the looks of their bikes and helmets. Hopefully we get to see a new kit for the Tour.
Video where they have new helmets.

You criticize everything for being boring and run-of-the-mill, and then someone makes something outrageous and you still don't like it.

Gotta see the stuff in action in the peloton however.
