I don't really get the pessimism here... Four different riders from TJV won a cobbled classic this year!

OK, I'll take your advice and get my positive glasses on.

I'll take the POV that TJV will do him better than his personal payed coaching, and just hope this will become true, by maybe removing some energy on his shoulders used on planning, and in advance maybe more professional coaching and training methods, and (especially) that TJV will let him free in races suiting him.

Matteo Jorgenson is a great allrounder with huge stamina.

I want all of them in one and same team. In order to end up in a situation with a huge break including a FourSome Martinez and Kirby to clear everything up for us.

Well, Egoi is 45, and has been retired for 10 years.
Yannick, otoh, he's only 35, and apparently still riding - although at Club-level. Also, if he somehow ended up being teammates with Lenny, then I'm pretty sure it would be the first time an uncle-nephew pair has been teammates.

Out with the old in with the .... well even older if the extend G's contract, but part of the problem is obviously at 38 he is still their best stage racer, kinda.

If imaginary situation happens like RE goes to Ineos, I'd say G could be a decent road captain for that little bstrd and overall.

G's gotten better lately keeping the rubber side down more and more and whatnots..

I can clearly imagine Egoi still shadow training behind the scenes :p
And not totally sure about the latter, though only stray thoughts of possibilities via various family dynasties through cycling history. At least I clearly remember a direct father-son apperance for a couple of seasons in Danish A-Class in the form of Peder Pedersen and Søren Pedersen :)

Guess I'm not that focused on random A-class riders from long ago.

At least Peder Pedersen is not exactly 'a random guy' in Danish cycling history.
This even only taken his long active career into account and not his prominent positions within Danish cycling afterwards.
And think most of the bit elder generation clearly remember Søren Pedersen, too.

But maybe it requires an understanding that it was a completely different time for Danish cycling and for the riders to embark on a full-time professional career, where the right connections to the wider world were almost non-existent. Where the situation has now been turned upside down and the country today is in an almost completely unimaginable situation, which you can quickly get a little too used to.
