  • Slightly harsh - I don't think it'll do him any harm. Likely to get more rides in bigger races than he would at Sky (for example).

    One team less next year so fortunate to have a WT contract.

  • Have Cannondale won a race this year? They seem to have a recruitment policy based on merging with other teams - Cervelo Test Team, Liquigas and now Drapac - in which they pick up lots of anonymous riders who never win races. Has anyone joined them and prospered in the last 5 years?

  • They've got some decent young riders there in Formolo, Van Barle and Paddy Bevin. I agree they seem to lack any stars though.

    Perhaps he didn't have a lot on the table and it'll be a stepping stone. Or they've made commitments re his race program others wouldn't.

    Put it this way - if they offered anyone on this forum a pro contract, we'd all take it.

    They've also lost Moser to Astana...
