I never thought I'd say this but........he needs to move.
I'm afraid that apart from a few of the classics he can target there will never really be a team built around him at Sky. Is he going to be happy with 2 or 3 wins at the Tour/Giro/Vuelta? I can't see it.
It's a shame he decided to join Sky as I'm sure if he had stayed at HTC then Bob Stapleton might have had a bit more of a chance of finding a sponsor.
The question now is......is OPQ the right team for him?

well OPQ are a stable outfit without too many frills plus some ageing cyclists- Boonen is now getting on a bit so Cav would be the no.1 I would imagine - for me it's a backward step but he must have had a lucrative offer from Lefevere

Wish I could get up to the Revolution series - maybe when it's down in London at some point in the series.
Been watching my local track league (Sussex Cycle Racing League) for the past few months and a really decent standard in the Seniors IMO.
Also if you're at Revolution look out for a youngster called Emily Kay, she normally rides the Future Stars events but she's a serious rider - potential Rio 2012 Gold Medallist IMHO.

Heck of a finish up that wall yesterday. Shame that J-Rod switched it off and let Valverde nick it. Also amused by the commentators lamenting Contador's inability to sustain those attacks. Yeah, probably because his bronchial capacity isn't as great without clen.
I've recently started doing some serious mileage on my bike so much so that I've decided to get rid of my bike, it's a great bike but i want to spoil myself and i need a workhorse as I'm using it to go to work too, I'm looking at a tourer, anyone on here have one and know what i should be looking for, I've got a 1k budget?
