Thought about posting this in transfers, but it could be important for 2016.
There are two camps: Patrick Lefevre, and presumably the Belgians and the DSs from the previous incarnations of the team, such as Tom Steels, Rik van Slycke, Wilfried Peeters and Davide Bramati. The other camp is Cavendish and his former T-Mobile/HTC colleagues, for whom we can read Aldag, Holm, Jan Schaffrath, Tony Martin, and Mark Renshaw.
Cavendish has been under pressure for his contract for the whole of this season, and during this Tour, Lefevre is adding to the pressure by having Peeters as the lead DS instead of Aldag. Cavendish does not get on well with Peeters, as we heard in KBK for instance, whereas Aldag and Holm were the driving force of his golden era at HTC. Lefevre reportedly wants Modolo from Lampre, or at least spoke to his agent at the Giro. He hasn't yet started contract negotiations with Cavendish.
If Cavendish leaves EQS, MTN are amongst the favourites to sign him, and Cavendish could bring them sponsorship and his riders and staff.
