I have a faint hope that someone might step in to cover the
shortfall.
I got to know several of the riders quite well as their bus was
parked in my front yard for most of the Volta a Algarve.
The Volta a Algarve is unfortunately another race which is
doubtful of another running.
How it was managed this year is another story, but Davey played a
small part and worked his ass off to help the promoter to put it
on by twisting a lot of arms.
I hope you're right and that Eskaltel-Euskadi gets a 2nd sponsor. We've
been big fans for ages.... one of my daughters has Basque connections,
indeed a Basque substitute family, she's a linguist and spends time
there. A proud people.
Here's hoping.
