  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).
