I follow a guy on twitter who's very close to Hugh, and he publicly slates Cannondale a lot but reckons it's a good move.
I can kind of see it, it's only a two year deal and he'll likely get looked after in some smaller, hard, week long races and then be a domestique in other, bigger races.
My only worry is the actual rider development side of things, but this is a guy who's never been involved with British cycling and moved to Pamplona despite not speaking the language because he felt Caja Rural were the team for him, he seems to have a good head on his shoulders....
