Team Sky/Ineos

Honest question here (I have no idea of the answer). Will this be a new team? Same team different sponsor.......does that constitute a new team?

Sorry, I wasn’t clear in my post - it’s not just new teams. The UCI will award 18 world tour licenses for 2020 which will last for three years. All teams that want a license will need to apply.

And do they have to have their sponsor and team name settled at that point?

Let’s get all the ridiculous TUE’s for cocaine rubbish jokes out of the way then.

What about petrol-motored bike jokes?

Not sure about the team name, the management company used to be able to apply, Tour Racing in the case, I think that's changed but could be wrong.

They have to demonstrate they meet the ethical, sporting and financial criteria, so yes they need their sponsorship sorted.

Well it is rumoured that Wiggo had petrol in his water bottles, and that tubes when into his frame from there to feed the engine.

Think I read somewhere also that EF we're getting a new sponsorship from TOTAL. The oil company

Don't they have enough sponsors already? EF Education First, Powered by Canondale, Clothed by Rafa ... Lubed by Total.

Slightly worried by the "lubed by total"...

So it's DE not EF that's getting totalled. EF are a headline-sponsor-owned team like Sky so it seemed a bit unlikely they'd dilute their education brand with oil.
