Vacansoleil to continue as Pro Continental team?

Vacansoleil-DCM Directeur Sportif, Hilaire Van der Schueren, needs a further one million euros in order to create a Pro Continental team out of the remnants of the current WorldTour outfit. The team's hopes of retaining a spot in the WorldTour have looked bleak since the middle of the year, thus an alternate plan of running a Pro Continental from a reduced budget of 2-3 million euros has looked the likely exit plan for Van de Schueren and some of his current squad.
