More television exposure for the Linda McCartney Foods Cycling Team today. In addition to the daily transfer rumours and gossip stories, Eurosport's live coverage included a fifteen-minute interview with your favourite press officer about next year's plans for the team expansion.

The feature comes hard on the heels of last week's Channel 4 programme, where the link between the team, it's riders, the food company and the vegetarian lifestyle were discussed in depth. Channel 4 are preparing another item linked to the team to go in their half-time story slot before the race finishes in Paris on Sunday.

The Tour de France may be the world's biggest bike race, but it's also a giant trade show. Flesh is pressed, hands are shaken and deals are done. The Linda McCartney team never seem to be far from the conversation, and the first question is inevitably: are you going to be here next year?
