It's going to take a lot more than that to be a better option than Caja Rural.

He might want to take a look at the new Bora-big sponsor team, though.
I think the right level for him next season would be regularly leading a team in WT stage races. He did so at Catalunya, but that's been his only WT race this year. I can't remember if he was injured or not but the team was at T-A and Pais Vasco without him. They weren't invited to Romandie, Dauphiné or Suisse, so there is a ceiling to his development at Caja Rural.
