Would be interesting to see a list. SRAM are the one that seems odd to me straight off as I can't imagine they only supply one team (it is possible) but I can kind of see how it works well from a marketing point of view in a growing market (my assumption about growing market). |

Am I right I saying that Bahrain Victorious, still use Merida bikes (they were once Bahrain Merida)? That struck me as odd when the team changed.

Yes they do, wasn't the name change when McLaren got involved with the team?

SD Worx and Canyon/SRAM are the women only teams that come to mind immediately when thinking about road cycling. |

I guess it depends what arrangements we're struck when the team was conceived in 2017, and what financially Merida put into starting the team. Prior to that they'd been the headline sponsor for Lampre Merida (who are now UAE) for several years. |

There were some comments about this on an article on Escape Collective about Campagnolo no longer being in the WT. There are multiple types of arrangements with equipment suppliers, and a lot of teams riding a particular brand don't necessarily have formal sponsorship agreements with that supplier, but are buying the kit OEM. So beyond those they officially supply, it's more a case of purchase and availability to the teams |
