Windsurf Journal report good news about Eleazar Alonso Sanchez gaining a new sponsor, but sad news about young racing talent Julien Quentel quitting the tour due to budget cuts. Here's the Google translated page.
It's a negative scenario for the sport in my view when sponsors pay highly for older names and don't support talented youngsters.
Quentel showed high promise in an age-heavy fleet of Slalom racers and takes the hopes of future stars down with him.
Good Luck to Julien in the future. We hope to see him back on tour again.
What are your views on this? In a dificult market, should brands stick with proven players and get results no matter how much those riders cost or the cuts they have to make elsewhere, or should the stars of the future take priority? (See Comments section below - no sign-in required. Thanks.)
