Eagle is going to come out of this smelling like a rose. They stuck by a rider that still has plenty of support, showing they care about everyone and Contador will repay that by winning this year's Vuelta a España. As for why Rihs continues to sponsor a team I think he is truly a super fan, loves the sport and will continue to back cycling, unless something so terrible happens on his watch that even he can't stomach it any more. What that is I have no idea.
