.cc Rapha.cc purchased by Walmart heirs for £200m!

Cycling clothing company, Rapha was recently purchased by Walmart heirs for £200m!

What's interesting about this: Rapha's domain is "Rapha.cc", they don't own the .com!

The .com leads to some scam looking website for hair products.

.cc domains are popular with the cycling community as it can stand for 'cycling club'.

Your subject line is highly misleading. They did not purchase the domain name as your subject implies but they purchased the business for 200M GBP. Very different transactions
