Well, they had a great run and I hope that Slipstream will fill the void. Trek will be looking for a new team to sponsor, maybe get either Gerlosteiner or Quick Step since Specialized is currently sponsoring both. I'm sure the top riders will find a home.

The bottom line though is that the doping scandals are reducing $ going into the sport. This will lead to pay cuts and the buses will not be as fancy. I think cycling will survive especially since some companies like T-Mobile want to make a statement of supporting cycling.
