Tasty bit of gossip From Brian Lopes: Word on the street is GT is adding the Athertons & getting rid of some other riders on the team...

Not sure on how the dates stack up, in terms of when the Athie/Commie contract ends, but I'd be surprised if Commencal keep the Athies beyond the present deal.

They will also need one huge pot of money. And that might be the sticking block.

GT has Dorel behind it. Commencal don't.
