New sponsor for NTT would be lifeline for African cycling, says Thomson

Jay  Thomson has said that any brand or sponsor willing to come in and save the NTT Pro Cycling squad would be saving African cycling and keeping open a door that seen dozens of riders from the continent have their shot at racing in the WorldTour.

The 34-year-old rider has also told Cyclingnews that keeping the team alive for 2021 would also help children on bikes in Africa, thanks to the team’s longstanding commitment with Qhubeka Charity.
