money doesnt matter as much to cancellara as friendship as there was no way canc was leaving his friends. He is not as money face as your boy gilbert.
No Phil would never go to a team where he has no support at all. And he can earn as much in every team he goes to, so cash won't be the thing on his mind.
He has more then one brain cell
I guess that does make him fit in well with the Schlecks though
Phil is quite a bit more popular in the peloton than Cancellara by the way. He has friends everywhere like Davide Rebellin, Vinokourov, Thor Hushovd, Tom Boonen, Bjorn Leukemans, Cuddles, Mickaël Delage(who do you think the FDJ guy was helping OPL out at LBL). He can go anywhere and have some friends.
He rather has a good team. Something Mr. Cancellara didn't think of. I bet they're paying him next to nothing at Leopard
. Besides no one was saying they had to give that cash to Cancellara, but could also have been given to "friends" of him to drag them into the team as well.
