He's got talent to burn, you just need to work with him so his head is right for 11 months of the year.
I'd take a punt if I was running a team.

other riders don't come with that baggage tho, and most have a lot more professionalism and discipline if not the potential-if he goes tits up at Movistar you've got to wonder who else will take him in the hope that he'll buck a four year trend because the longer it goes on a 5th place at the Giro looks like it'll be the high water mark of his career.

Four years ago... Best finish since is 20th, with a DNF and 158th thrown in. If I was a DS I don't think I'd take a punt on him given his strange no-shows and starting every season twice the weight he was after the Vuelta, but that said, if he's going to do well anywhere it should be Movistar so fingers crossed he recaptures something of his younger self
