  1. Baseball scrapping idea to put Spidey webs on bases to
    promote Spider-man 2 movie.

    Wouldn't it be interesting to have movie studios sponsor
    teams? With the huge wads of cash they toss around on
    promotions, seems a cycling team would be just the thing.

    Imagine Lance & Co. in jersies featuring upcoming films. I
    suppose the public would gobble up kit, too.

    "Be the mightiest Fred in your neighborhood peloton in
    your very own Flintstones 3: Tour de Bedrock official
    team jersey!"

    On second thought...

    A movie studio could sponsor a team but they would have to
    change jerseys every couple weeks to keep promoting their
    latest film. It might be kind of strange to see a team
    manager order an attack by several of his guys in order to
    promote the movie currently on their jerseys.

    I vote for political campaigns. Then they could attack for
    ideological reasons and bring a whole new dimension to the
    sport... and bring all the rbr threads on topic at the
    same time!

  4. It's more than a rumor that Bianchi intends to step up with
    a very large sponsorship next season with a full scale
    development team along with a good D1 pro team, similar to
    the previous Mapei program in several ways.

    The Libertarian party was the title sponsor for the
    Leonardtown Crit a couple of years ago (2001).
