Re:
This has never been about budget. Etixx is one of the big teams as well as Team Sky and BMC. The team was not happy Cav focusing on track. This was the sole reason he left. I don't know how much Etixx will pay Kittel, but they still need to buy out his contract. Obviously not less than Cav.Red Rick said:I don't see Kittel winning 4 stages consistently, and I think the Etixx train will be worse than the Giant Train was. I think it had more to do with attracting a Germand sponsor. I wonder how much cheaper than Cav Kittel he is, he was complete **** this year. Maybe they pay him the minimum + the hair products
