Gerolsteiner LogoBernard Kohl, and Stefan Schumacher are probably looking at the classifieds for a new team for next year.

Team Gerolsteiner lost their sponsor last year and haven’t had any luck finding a new sponsor, so they will be shutting down after this season.

“No sponsor had the courage and the confidence to come in,” team chief Hans-Michael Holczer said Thursday.

This is another case of doping tainting the image of cycling, and causing major sponsors to think twice about having their companies associated with the sport.
