There were a number of issues that could have affected Porte's motivation and form last year. He was, by all accounts, still on the same salary from the year before, was somewhat dismayed when Riis signed Contador (that turned out well, heh?) and had already had his head turned by Sky, who tried to sign him at the end of 2010.
I wonder if Sky will have too many chiefs and not enough Indians this year, they are so strong on paper it's hard to see who'll want to do the grafting.
