Interesting news yesterday - Geox, remember them from last year? Let down by one of their sponsors, causing the other one (Geox) to run away like cowardy custards, so the team folded, despite having Cobo, winner of the Vuelta that year, in their team, along with Menchov and Sastre.
Oh, and they had the scary high-lighter yellow kit, somewhat similar to Farnese-Vini, that well-known British team.
So, what's happened? The Swiss courts have confirmed the earlier judgement of the Court of Arbitration of Lugano (Who? No, I have no idea either...), and, it was announced, have awarded Team Geox's owners 6.3 million Euros.
The report said:
“The Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, highest judicial body of that country, has condemned TMC Italia SpA definitively and with damages charged for its behaviour during the 2011 cycling season"
So that's one in the eye for sponsors who make promises of money over several years, and who fail to cough up the cash...
...Mr Becca, are you listening?
Look out Becca, we're coming to get you....
