    New and Interesting Accessories You Love

    Accell group goes bust; Raleigh, Haibike, Lapierre and others future in doubt.

    indeed and also Dutech is still in the picture, led by Fierkens. Previously was at Specialized, CSG (Cannondale) and BCF (Ridley). Quanta wants to take it all, Dutech wants to cherry pick.
