He wins races. Lots of them. He’s tenth on the active riders victory ranking that PCS maintain, ahead of riders like Vivianni, Demare, Dengenkolb etc.
Those wins aren’t just in shitty little races either, he’s won Giro and Vuelta stages and consistently wins at WT level.
Cofidis should treat him like the asset he is, not publically shame him via the press.

He's an asset that missed the tour in '16 because he broke his hand in a punch up, and had as many fights with fellow cyclists last year as he did stage wins.
Sounds like they're sick of his shit and not placated by winning a stage of the tour de Yorkshire instead of turning up at the tour de france in good shape and without bringing more headlines for punching people or flipping out at his own team car...
With all the shite he's pulled off the bike and his amateur boxing it's surprising the guy still has a team.
