As for Bouygues : Region Vendée is rumoured to be taking more shares than this year in the team, as well as local Vendée companies, which could bunch to make a sponsorship. That is if they can't find a big sponsor. La Poste denied all interest a couple of weeks ago.
With the Tour starting in the Vendée sponsors are bound to be interested in the region.
But can it survive long term?

That is... something. How much do you think their budget will decrease next season if they keep going?

Wait, it's possible for Bouygues's budget to decrease and for them to still exist?

Maybe if they start using francs instead of euros

How can it be idiotic ? when more people agree that contador is double standard ??
lets just leave this at this.. i have my opinions you have yours.. this will never end.
Quite the contrary. This well end shortly.
You see, it is idiotic because you never addressed the actual attack, you just said "lol fanboi schleck93 n00b" when he disagreed with you. You have no arguments. You have nothing to offer to this discussion. There is no reason for me to just leave it here because you are doing a fine job of making everyone ignore you.
i addressed my acutal attack against contador for being double standard and saying his you tube video was pathetic. and some people agreed with me. and when schleck disagreed with me, i just asked him how he knows that contador was sympathetic and such because i was curious too know how he knows contador so well..
I dont know what an argument in your mind means, but apparantly no one can have an arguement by the sounds of it..
you disagreeing with me is fine, i got my recognition. |

For metree/Andro vs. isso/Waghlon debate
don't you think Roberta Millar's response sums it up nicely
I think it was just one of those racing incidents that unfortunately meant Andy lost time and the lead. Contador seems to be getting all the blame for not waiting but at least he seemed to be thinking something wasn't quite right, Menchov and Sanchez didn't hesitate to keep racing at all. I don't think Contador wanted to be in that situation given the circumstances but he couldn't let the others ride away either.

Vendée would pay up to 2 M€, which is three times more than at the moment, but is only one third of the budget.
Math question : how much is the budget ?
They're expecting local firms to cover the remaining 4 millions.
Bernaudeau has till the 1st August to announce his sponsoring for next year, otherwise his riders will be free to negotiate with whoever they want to. |

Yes, it does sum it up nicely. But sadly some people are still thinking he's a douchebag for trying to win. "Some" people are posting here trying to argue with emotions rather than facts.

Of course those two are also "guilty".
Contador could still do better without lying afterwards. Saying that he made a mistake and will do better next time would be better than to cover his ass by lying. |

Sums it up nicely.. But again you arent reading anything i am writting. I think it is fair enough he did what he did. He didnt want to lose time to sanchez menchov either when andy had problems.. All i said was i think its double standard that he keeps on going when andy had problems.. but when sanchez has problems, he tells his team to stop pulling the peleton and just chill untill he gets back.. and his pathetic apology video

But Menchov said the same thing as Contador. And most of time when the chain drops off like that, you can get it back on without de-mounting the bike and keep going again in a few seconds. |

Okay, i havent read what you have been writing. You havent been reading what everyone is writing.
One situation was a favorite launching an attack on the GC. The other is a podium candidate crashing on flat road. There is no double standard.
EDIT: Typo

okay well thats your opinion i have my own.. i feel crashing and mechanical problems are part of the race, and therefor the same to some extent. except of course if half the peleton crashes. |
