kash, no matter what people think, was a good engine and a pain fighter. nowadays though there is no reason to hire him as a rider, sorry to say it. the only time he proved he still has it was in vuelta 2010 with lampre, a vuelta he really trained for and he was motivated.
from what i follow, kash now has pretty big money and he's a philantropist
vino said that kash bragged about while riding for astana that cycling for him is just a hobby which was obvious(that's why i called him a cyclotourist). he didn't train like a pro and i don't think he will now
the only team he will ride for will probably a team made by him(there were some rumours). i mean vino 4 ever then why not a team forzza kash?
