His program next season will probably be very similar to this year, maybe with Sanremo and Vuelta included.
He have sponsors who want him at UAE tour, he enjoy Strade and Tirreno is the natural follow, then Sanremo, and Basque Tour is nice prep for Flech and Liege.
He won't go to giro because he is scared of Masnada ( this may or may not be true)
Well, we now know that it's easy to crack him, especially when a few longer high mountains are involved, so it shouldn't be too hard for Masnada.
