What's a better return on investment? A stage win in the Tour or podium at the Tour?
In the normal press I reckon you'd hear about a stage winner more than a podium finisher.
Anyway, his sudden depareture will get more press than any of the rest of their riders will get.
It’s not the first time he’s fallen out with a team. The question is, is the investment in him worth the return?
I don’t think it is, he’s a decent TT rider but he’s never going to bother the podium positions in a GT.
