Covi has left and Ayuso leaves a hole in the budget. They have some room left in the squad.

They also used to have guys like Ulissi and Hirschi in the team before, so I guess they could carry him as well.

I thought he may sign for PostNL though.

For me Kevin Vermaerke is already a update on Covi. Hirschi and Ulissi they covered inhouse with Del Toro, Christen and Morgado

Slightly cheaper version of Wellens I guess

I guess that's the goal
 
Cosnefroy would need a massive step up in order to do what Wellens does for UAE.
He's likely the worst climber among good punchers you will find in the whole peloton and struggles mightily in GTs.

To me he fits a lot more in the Hirschi / Ulissi / Covi role. Someone who can score and win with the right calendar and doesn't need to ride any GT.
I don't think Christen, Morgado and especially IDT are bound to ride this kind of calendar for long.
