Delaney: Aqua Blue/Sniper Cycling situation will be resolved in coming days

By Rick Delaney's own admission, the story is an odd one. On Wednesday Delaney's Aqua Blue Sport organisation announced that they had purchased Sniper Cycling, the company behind the Verandas Willems-Crelan squad. If the news came as a surprise it's because few - even some within Sniper Cycling - saw it coming.
