Following the news we received from our title partners, team management has agreed to put into force an immediate action plan.
We firstly aim to secure payments to staff and riders for April. This involves asking the UCI to unlock our bank guarantee.
We will also launch a fan support program next week, to provide fans the ability to financially support the team through its partners.
In addition, following the overwhelming support from the international cycling community, we will launch a crowdfunding campaign to secure funds for our short-term future.
We aim to remain in full operation in 2020 to facilitate our riders’ preparation for the World Championships and Olympic Games, and also to become a WorldTour team next year.
We are now therefore actively pursuing new sponsorship opportunities, and believe that with our existing, and new partners, we can successfully realise these goals.
Thank you for supporting us.
