Sad day for cycling with the end of the Sean Kelly Team

Sad that they couldn't secure a title sponsor for 2018, lets hope they make a return in 2019. It's a tough sport when sponsors are few and far between.

Was only thinking last week I hadn't heard them get a deal and how late it was.

Shame given that some of the Irish lads at pro-conti and world tour level would have roots with the team.

Unsustainable model of constant sponsorship chasing and now competing for space against a higher ranked Irish team with far greater media exposure.
