Katie Comptons contract with PlanetBike not renewed

Politics may also be involved. Someon may have had an axe to grind with Kati. Or she said something not approved by the company... You'll never know what was behind the corporate wall.

While this may/may not be the case with Katie, it was certainly a well-publicized case with another female cross racer this season. She signed with a sponsor, demanded certain components, and then replaced the decals on said components with another manufacturer!

So, I agree with others - don't get too upset and start crying discrimination on this one, since we don't know what really went on here. It is too bad she is losing her sponsor, but Laura van Gilder lost hers two seasons ago too...
