What the heck are those sponsors??
Maybe this is a dumb question but I'm sort of new to the sport. So everyone knows what USPS is, but what are some of those other major sponsors? I mean I see these names but I have no idea what kind of business(or whatever) these are. I assume they are mostly(all?) European. For example, ONCE, Adecco, Lotto, KELME, Telekom, Robobank, COFIDIS, DOMO, etc, etc, etc..........
Anyone know what they are??? :confused:

Cycling is exponentially more popular in Europe, so there are tons more sponsors there.

I like finding out what some of the sponsors are. Some are easy to guess, like Telefonica who sponsor the Vuelta Espana, and Esta The (Giro Italia). But there are others:
Wurth- Hardware
Dymo- Office equipment
Correos- Spanish mail service
Feldschlosschen - Swiss Brewery, sponsors Tour of Switzerland

Hey that's cool. I think there was a pic floating around of a Dekker ad in a bank lobby (Rabobank, of course!).
I always thought Credit Agricole was an agricultural bank! Don't they have a wheat stalk in their logo?

La Redoute is a catalogue company that sells clothes, I gather it's like J Crew. Coast is sort of like Gap. So is Gas, who used to sponsor an italian women's team.
New Holland makes farm and construction equipment.
