to developt young riders you need some1 with experience for them to learn from.
also how can they hire Sinkewitz and not hire the likes of andre cardoso and hernani broco who are a lot cheaper and have completely outclassed sinkewitz in the volta? tho if they were to hire them just to make them some sort of third tier domestic who will never have a chance of riding anything for himself, i would rather watch them every year in the volta on some portuguese small team.
p.s. just thought about this cus of libertine's post
I'm not sure I'd say Cardoso and Brôco completely outclassed Sinkewitz given that those riders work all year for the Volta, and Sinkewitz had been without a team until June.
I'd love to see Hernâni move up a level (he had been criminally underutilised at Liberty), and Andre certainly deserves it, but given what he can bring to the table in one-day races and week-long races I can see why they would want to go for Sinkewitz.
Then again, Movistar already have a lot of short-Tour guys and guys who can do a good GT but probably not podium without exceptional circumstances, what with Tondó, Arroyo, Bruseghin, Soler, Urán, Plaza and Intxausti.
They'll be very visible wherever they go, at least - they've shown in the last few months since Valverde's ban that they're prepared to take some massive risks and animate races...
