Considering who Sky's Head of Medicine is there probably one of the only teams who could help with that.classicomano said:Maybe they see that he seems to lack any mental fitness to be a pro.
Yep, GC centric teams should be all over De Gendt and CoboMatParker117 said:Why aren't GC centric teams all over this guy?

Well hasn't Jakob proved you wrong sir?El Pistolero said:at least he's not over-rating his abilities like so many other riders. Fuglsang thinking he deserves to be a leader of a WT team at the Tour for example...
A bit over dramatic, there's always Christina Watchesmaxmartin said:Thomas De Gendt has given himself one more month to find a team for the 2014 season. If he is not successful, he will have to put an end to his career.
Oh, my sounds so dramatic!

He won a stage in Catalunya and placed 3rd in the first ITT in TDF, so even based on this years (poor) results he should be able to find a decent team. Very surprising that no one has picked him up yet...movingtarget said:Sounds like money is an issue for him. Maybe he is asking for too much or maybe managers know something we don't. You would think a Giro podium would count for something even though the 12 months since has been poor. There has to be other reasons it can't simply be that teams don't want him.
I suppose money and status? He doesn't want to ride in a pro conti team... well after this year he might be happy to be able to ride for a pro-conti team...movingtarget said:Sounds like money is an issue for him.

according to his manager Vacansoleil (the company) has to respect the contracts for 2014 and continue to pay the salarymovingtarget said:Sounds like money is an issue for him. Maybe he is asking for too much or maybe managers know something we don't.
There's a newspaper article today that says he received a demission letter from Vacansoleil or Luyckxsearch said:according to his manager Vacansoleil (the company) has to respect the contracts for 2014 and continue to pay the salary
so if that's true, not riding at all would propably be the financially most fruitful decision
