Mark Cavendish, the best UK cyclist?

You think he's going to stay? I don't, despite the contract to 2012 I think they will want to dump some salaries as HTC aren't renewing sponsorship for 2012.
Their DSs have started talking themselves up as more of a development squad with good links to national associations and are pointing at Degenkolb, Goss as sprinters and Van Garderen just won one too.

No idea. It just means he won't necessarily always be last leadout guy.
