Phonak says iShares contract not signed

Will Team Phonak become Team iShares in 2007? Phonak spokesman Georges Lüchinger says that negotiations are under way, but that nothing has yet been signed. Zentral Schweiz Online (sss.zisch.ch) reports however, that it is only a matter of time. iShares, which belongs to Barclay Bank, became a team co-sponsor this season. Phonak had already announced that it wished to stop its sponsorship at the end of this season.
