Good: Qhubeka-Assos has picked up a sponsor.


Less good: It's a cryptocurrency trading company that nobody has heard of.

If this is cuz the UCI wouldn't let them or made the approval process too onerous, then gently caress the UCI once again.

At this point half the teams change kit for the Tour, Idk why they wouldn't change since they look a lot like Ineos and also it's like the most boring kit in the peloton

Probably sucks for them to have to get up so early for a race but it's nice to be able to watch La Course live, actually live not recorded overnight and watched in the morning.
