Skoda may quit sponsoring Tour de France

The Czech car maker Skoda Auto is considering pulling out as one of the Tour de France sponsors, a Skoda spokesperson has said. While the major reason behind the decision has to do with reviewing the car producer's results on the French market, Skoda also takes seriously the recent doping scandals of the legendary French cycling race, according to the spokesperson. Skoda started cooperating with Tour de France in 2004 when they signed a four years' contract.
