doesn't sound like it's going to straight forward: there's a big buy out clause, and he wants Eisel and his soigneur to go where ever he does. It looks like he wants Brailsford to do him a favour and allow him to leave for cheaper but I wonder if he's being a little naive: the team is a business after all. Cav brings you guaranteed wins, put the right train in front of him and he'll mop up stage wins, points jerseys and one-day races. Not only are Sky giving those wins away, they are giving them to a rival. There's not many teams that can afford him anyway
