ForceSud: A Faint Hope

ForceSud manager Gilles Gallais briefly met his dispirited riders at their hotel Saturday evening to inform them that he was meeting a sponsor Tuesday (today, 28 May) who has offered to put in money to cover the team for a season. Should this not come off, it looks as if the riders will desert the team without further ado.
