Trek-Drops co-owner Bob Varney says that he and his son Tom will make a decision on the future of the team next week. The women's team were left in the lurch almost three weeks ago after a potential sponsor for next season dropped out at the 11th hour. They launched a crowdfunding campaign in the immediate aftermath of the news and have continued to speak with potential backers but, with the new season rapidly approaching, they need to make a call.ADVERTISEMENT "We’ve got the crowdfunding finishing on Monday and British Cycling have various bank guarantees ready to go through to the UCI if everything comes together. I think we’ll be looking to make a decision next week on where we go," Varney told Cyclingnews. "We’re not going to let people down. We’ve got a lot of people involved with the team and they’re worth fighting for, and we’ll fight to the last minute." The team have been given an extended deadline of November 27 to get everything together. Riders could race unsalaried in 2019 You can read more at Cyclingnews.com.read full article
