Great action with the Cancer charity. 
Hopefully the team won't use those ugly Kask TT helmets without rear end.  |

@mvh: glad you are liking the Cancer sponsor addition. The Kask Bambino helmets could be used in the TT, as I am unable to find an alternative with a longer rear tail
@voets: some good news indeed, and some more to come soon

*** BREAKING NEWS ***
The Return of Team Bianchi?
Could cycling be seeing the return of one of the most famous cycling name to the ProPeleton next season?
If rumours are to be believed by sources close to La Squadra Bianca manager Phil Hoyle, Team Bianchi is set to make a return to the world of Cycling by becoming the Main Sponsor of the former Rapha-Bianchi Racing Team.
Last seen in the peleton in 2003, when Ullrich was battling it out with Armstrong for Tour de France glory, Bianchi had taken more of a backseat becoming the Co-Sponsor of many teams since. However, following the withdrawl of Rapha at the end of the season, Bianchi looks step in and help take the team to the next level.
Hoyle was not available and no one else were able to comment on the matter.

Team Bianchi would be awesome, but I doubt they have the finances, seeing they sponsor a lot of other teams. Probably need a co-sponsor for realism. |

@Ian: The team are already riding Bianchi so great bikes are already ticked off 
@voets: It would seem that Bianchi is a popular rumour! All will be revealed next

*** BREAKING NEWS ***
Confirmed: The Return of Team Bianchi
The World's Cycling Press gathered today in Milan to finally hear confirmation of the big rumour over the last 10 days: Team Bianchi is Back!
Standing proudly side by side, Team Manager Phil Hoyle and Bianchi CEO Bob Ippolito were delighted to finally announce that the Italian Bicycle Manufacturers were going to be taking over as Lead Sponsor.
In a statement, Hoyle said:
Today, I stand to you a very happy man. After weeks of negotiations with possible new sponsors and backers, I am delighted to announce the news that Bianchi will step up and become the new Lead Sponsor for the 2014 season. Mr Ippolito and I are both ambitious men, and thankfully we share the same dream for the team: Taking them to the next level.
When rumours began to circulate of the deal, there was a clear question of funding and the level of budget available. Due to the agreement put in place with Rapha, a large proportion of the budget will come from them, with Bianchi and the other smaller sponsors topping up the amount required to help the strive next season.
Furthermore, Bianchi want to bring cycling back to the community. There is going to be more interaction with the fans, and give them a chance to feel part of this team. Currently, the Jersey Designers are working on Three different kits, which will be put to the fans to vote on their favourite. The winning design will become to Team Kit for next season.
Rapha made a lot of false promises when they led the team last season. They wanted a team that was liked by all, but in the end, I believe their actions resulting that not happening. It is time to set this promise right. It is time for Team Bianchi to return. Thank you.
No news has been released about the Fans' vote on the 2014 Team Jersey, but no doubt, this news will cause excitement across the Cycling community.

Also voted for 3, although I'm quite disappointed by the size of the cancer logo. Thought it would take a more prominent spot on the jersey. |

@all: thanks for the votes so far
@mvh: I want it to be like the WWF logo on the Garmin jersey. Subtle but still raising awareness. Although, the logo on the back of Jersey C may be put higher up due to the dossiers when racing
