Team hoping to replace Vacansoleil with sponsor before Tour de France

A sponsor announcing it is not to continue is news that no team ever wants to hear, especially mid-season, but after losing DCM and Vacansoleil, the Dutch squad of Juan Antonio Flecha is hoping to keep the team together. The goal is to land a new sponsor before the Tour de France is over and the transfer negotiations begin on August 1.
