it's time to park the bus.



so everyone's all ga-ga about disco bagging it, but no one seems to give two shits about unibet
folding
.

they have had quite the year.
after all the b.s. about the legality of their title sponsor and how it would be bad bad bad for the tdf sponsorships and interests if they were allowed to race... blah, blah.... they soldiered on. and their sponsor unibet.com did too, and they didn't have to.
i don't think it's a surprise they are pulling the plug, but it shows a touch of class that they waited until the seasons end.

to the aso, i say:
how'd that tour thing work out for you?
how's your corporate interests?
and lastly, how many unibet riders got popped for doping this year?
or even just asked to leave a race for anything other than that silly sponsorship issue?

unibet riders, i salute you.
you had alot of crap flung at you, and you still managed to win a few races.
i wish you the best in finding new teams for next season.
although you may find it tough with the disco dopers, and the astana blood squad also looking for teams.

To be fair, if the TdF had taken them, Barloworld would've probably been the odd team out. Though I think it was a crap deal for Unibet.com, I think the ASO got the better end of the deal.
