I think you'll see more cycling companies being significant if not title sponsors of teams for the next couple of years. Companies outside cycling don't want to be involved right now.

Problem is Bike manufacturers can't support Pro Tour teams at the salary and expense level currently. So salaries, and the number of teams may well contract for awhile.
