+ NEWS
FDJ GOES ON
French Team Francaise des Jeux (FDJ) will continue being part of the pro peloton next season, even though they haven't found a second sponsor, a condition that the main sponsor had placed to continue with the team. The negotiations with other companies failed, but the management of FDJ announced that they would continue for one more year. The negotiations to find a co-sponsor continue and the region of Nord-Pas-de-Calais (NW France), could be a possible backer.
For next season, British Brad Wiggins and Australian Baden Cooke will join the team. Swiss Sven Montgomery will leave the team, after signing with Fassa Bartolo, although Australian Bradley McGee will stay with the team.
MUSEEUW'S FUTURE
Belgian Johan Museeuw is very close from signing with Mapei, after Mapei released Michele Bartoli. There are rumors that Belgian Frank Vandenbroucke may take Musseuw's spot at Team Domo.
GARCIA CALVO TO STAY
Spaniard Cesar Garcia Calvo, who won the Hot Spot Sprint (Meta Volante) competition at the last Vuelta a España has decided to stay for one more year with Team Relax – Fuenlabrada.

A total of 19.9 million habitual fans watched at least 15 minutes of some stage. Some 9.5 million of riders that are not regular fans like housewives, followed the race for at least 1 minute. The research shows that there is great interest, especially in the mountain and time trial stages, even with the absence of great stars like Miguel Indurain in the past or Lance Amstrong in the presence. In the 2000 edition, there were 28.5 million spectators registered, with 19.4 of those considered habitual fans.www.Infociclismo.com
