nah man, he needs to retire finally.Ricco' said:I don't know if I'm the only one thinking this, but Cav, regardless of his current form, needs some young blood on his sprint train. Eisel and Renshaw were top class at their prime, but they are not the same anymore. And on multiple occasions this year, the Dimension Data train has failed in the crucial moment. Either for going too soon, for breaking apart ou from catching themselves up front with 3 or 2 km to go and then getting swamped by the rivals sprint trains.

They can't. The only thing he's done since 2013 is have a good TDF in 2016. They're best off going after someone like Jakobsen, Philipsen, Hodeg, or even Sam Bennett and using the change from Cav's salary to get a talented neo pro.Screecher said:This is the end. There's no way DD will give him a contract for next year.
Can't see Jakobsen leaving QST or Philipsen leaving UAE. Don't have high hopes for Hodeg tbh. Sam Bennett could be a steal.42x16ss said:They can't.

With Viviani and Gaviria ahead of them in their respective teams, I wouldn't be surprised. Especially with Gaviria only being a couple of years older than Philipsen.Logic-is-your-friend said:Can't see Jakobsen leaving QST or Philipsen leaving UAE. Don't have high hopes for Hodeg tbh.
