They had Mercedes, presumably to get some free cars, and I think some other minor sponsors, but with Nissan I'd guess that they won't need the Mercedes' anymore. With their minimalist jerseys, I honestly have no idea who their other sponsors were without searching online, and I've spent dozens of hours watching those guys race this year, so it would be no suprise if those sponsors pulled out (if that happened). Having some of those new Nissan Leafs (Leaves?) in the peloton would be great, if they have to have cars at all, that is. Trying to go fast on a bicycle while cycling exhaust through your lings sucks.
