After Deutsche Telekom decided to stop all sponsorship with immediate effect last week, the fate of the beloved T-Mobile Cycling Tour is very much unclear. An official statement on the website doesn't tell the fans anything.
Sponsors (also e.g. Adidas) seem to be pulling out everywhere in Germany following the media hysteria triggered by various doping cases involving riders of the professional T-Mobile team. This will push several German race organisers in a bad spot as of next season. Neverthless, the organisers of the Deutschland Tour, Rund um Köln and Henninger Turm have all confirmed their events will go ahead as scheduled in 2008. Therefore, it can be expected that the cyclo or jedermann races will also happen - but probably not under the umbrella of T-Mobile any longer.
