Focused Cycling is proud to announce the acquisition of the remains of the Auber 93 - Look Pro Tour Cycling Team. As the team looks forward toward future successes, we are very much aware of the lack of funds, and the massive reduction in sponsorship interest towards the project in progress.
As a result, it is with much regret that Focused Cycling has informed it's riders to begin the tedious process of searching for new teams to ride for. Whilst it has been rumoured that some of the team are secure, the team have ensured that all riders have begun searching for other teams to ride for, just in case the project should fall through.
Although there are some rocky times ahead of the team, as the final amount of money to be put into the team has yet to be determined, the team has ensured that whoever does ride for Focused Cycling will be easy to spot in the midst of the Continental peloton.

This is probably a big fish for all the new German teams and of course several other teams. |

It's nice to see some more French riders free. My new sponsor will be really happy if I can sign some of these riders! At least, I hope I can.

In a sense, yes, and in another sense, no.
