Team Sky to end after 2019 as broadcasters withdraws ownershipSky have announced that they will withdraw from cycling at the end of 2019, ending their ownership and sponsorship of Team Sky and throwing the team that has taken Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas and Bradley Wiggins to Tour de France victory into major doubt. The team, which is run by Dave Brailsford and has come under growing scrutiny for the way they have conducted themselves during their nine-year existence, will only continue beyond next year if they can find a new backer to compete under a different name, leaving the futures of Froome and Thomas uncertain. It took Sky a good number of years to make this decision and well overdue it is. As soon as there was a hint of drugs,cheating and sexism towards the female cyclists Sky should have pulled the plug!!!
