Sky never looked like they knew what to do with Cav, even when they built a team around him like at the Giro. It always looked a bit clumsy, a bit slow-witted, lacking the savvy of a more experienced classics/one-day team. That said they were always going to be compared the HTC-Highroad and given how brilliant they were at delivering Cav to the line.
People complain about how boring the Tour was, one of the reason IMO was the lack of HTC-HR, which left a void on the flatter stages no-one could full. We need the like of that again. Just hope Cav goes and we can draw a line under it. Sky will miss the wins he supplies though.
