It wouldn't surprise me if he goes to a team like Lampre, if you look at an article like this:PremierAndrew said:If Carthy wants to secure his life financially, he'll go to Sky. If he really wants to fulfil his potential, he'll go to somewhere like Lampre or Dimension, where he'll get opportunities
Lampre really really needs a leader for the Giro 2017 since Modolo ain't no superior sprinter as well.lemon cheese cake said:It wouldn't surprise me if he goes to a team like Lampre, if you look at an article like this:PremierAndrew said:If Carthy wants to secure his life financially, he'll go to Sky.

Hugh did come from this british amateur team.
Great idea. Thrust a 22-year-old who's never even raced in a WT team into a leadership role at a Grand Tour. No risk of burning him at all.staubsauger said:Lampre really really needs a leader for the Giro 2017 since Modolo ain't no superior sprinter as well.
Good racing program with the Giro and the Italian fall classics, decent support team with the likes of Polanc. Decent equipment from Merida. Decent check for a rookie. Mr. Goodlife in Italy.
Should be a move to consider!

fujiman said:Great to see this thread. I remember last year in Trentino when Hugh finished a tough MTF stage in the top ten, just ahead of Hesjedal. But the Italian announcer called out "McCarthy" when he crossed the line. Now the opposite is happening in Catalunya with announcers predicting him for a high finish. He will be interviewed again on cyclinghub.tv soon, so it will be interesting to see what he says about his future. I hope he stays at Caja Rural for a few more years as he seems to get along so well there.
