Cult Energy’s Skelde resigns amid financial strain, team searches for co-sponsor
Christa Skelde, Cult Energy Pro Cycling’s seven-year team manager, has resigned from her position amid a struggle to find the funds needed to keep the Danish Pro Continental team afloat. Skelde has taken the advice of her doctor to help reduce stress, while the team will continue their search for a new co-sponsor.
“Besides coordinating my usual managerial responsibilities, I have been working very hard on co-sponsor solutions for our team, so hard that my body has been sending clearer and clearer warning signs,” Skelde said in a press release. “After a medical examination last week, the doctor advised me to let go of all work-related responsibilities to prevent further stress and to allow body and mind to recover.

“Naturally, it’s emotionally frustrating to let go of my team responsibilities, leaving the team and people who have been a big part of my life in the past decade. But after a discussion with Michael, I have made the only sound decision there is to follow the doctor’s orders.”
The team noted that they will combine administrative resources to help continue Skelde’s work in her absence until they can find a suitable replacement.
The team lost a co-sponsor at the start of the season and they are currently searching for a replacement sponsor to help with the finances for the remainder of the 2015 season, and to be able to continue the team into 2016.
