As I understand it the Tour is The Place to negotiate new contracts...
So.. Have just seen this...
Don't know what Rigoberto is going to make of that.
what do we think?
Good or bad?

That's just... a bit odd. But maybe a srs/not srs GC guy suits Cav best. Wonder if they get a BOGOF with Frank?

I guess Cav would want it guaranteed that he would still have his dedicated team at GTs, he won't want to end up in a SKY situation again. LOL the thought of Frank as the get one free ... Poor Frank
Prob close to the truth though...

For sure. I can't imagine how Andy would like it either, he's never ridden on a team with a big sprinter, has he? And you know that Cav would have to be getting the best end of that deal.

Well, if the cap (of shame) fits... although neither of them is looking like a great deal at this point tbh. :/

That is a valid point that I had forgotten... Yes he's only been GT and classics teams. I'm racking my brains to think of a team that runs a top sprinter and a very good GC man... Apart from Sky last year I can't think of one. I'm not counting VDB at Lotto, or Farrar at GRS. Maybe Kristoff and J rod at Katusha

I think that Cav would insist on it...

I have high hopes for Andy this year, not GC but stage win .... That would help

It's not really something that can be done easily. Not in the same race anyway.
Even without taking personalities into account, you'd have to favour Cav on performance. :p

I really want to see him kick some butt in the Alps like he did that year Sastre won the Tour and he was just crazy good but totally out of contention. A comparatively low pressure thing.

No, it isn't, and probably explains why we don't see it.
Absolutely... Cav would win on both counts personality and performance.

I want that too, no pressure. Just get out there and enjoy it. and then see get to see that smile.
