  • Wow - didn’t know it was that long.

    From what I’ve been told, Canyon pay the vast majority of his A-F salary. Can’t help but think what kind of a rider he would be now if he accepted a smaller salary at a bigger team last year (or however long ago it was he renewed)

  • I think he would have a very big salary at a big team as well ;-)

    The Alpecin-Fenix team is built around MVDP, so I guess that suits him fine

  • It doesn’t give him the guaranteed grand tour entries though. Though his name alone might win wild card entries to the tour.

  • Oh no doubt! Didnt mean to insinuate that he hadn't been offered big money elsewhwere..... just that with the help of Canyon A-F were able to offer him enough to make him stay..... which i can only presume would have had to be more than he'd been offered by any of the bigger teams.

    I guess maybe he also prefered the big fish/small pond as oposed to the smaller fish/big pond option.

    Purely making my own assumptions here though!

  • Does AF give him more flexibility to race xc and cx rather than focus purely on road given his Tokyo ambitions?
