I wouldn’t say he’s resting, he’s been training quite a bit preparing for the Nationals, Bay Crits and Santos Festival of Cycling.

Surely someone will pick up Clarke as he still has a lot to offer a team.Simon Clarke is in a similar situation - Resting in OZ and returns to Europe in February without a contract.
