Whoa. This is a major blow to Women's World Tour cycling and the credibility of Lappartient's vision. I don't understand the reasoning behind it - they seem to be one of the better funded and organized teams and clearly have the best group of riders. They should be the poster child for the new World Tour setup - not a standout pro continental team!

I hope the riders take a stand and leave en mass as soon as their contract allows.

That's a strong bunch of women without rides [including the WC and 3 National Champs]
