Considering how Sky develops their talents so far - they are smart for looking at different options 
Although I do believe both Boswell and Dombrowski will come good and prove their talent next year.
Totally agree with you on Boswell and Dombrowski, next year they will both shine 
Yeah, they will shine a lot carrying bottles of water.
Much better to have them fetching bottles and learning to navigate through the peloton than the Rabo way of immediately making them leaders and ending up with Gesink and Dekker who have troubles just sitting in the peloton.
Same for some Belgians like Van Goolen and Nuyens actually.
Much better to have balance and give them chances in smaller races.
They did get leadership in races Sky doesn't care much about like Suisse, USAPCC...
USAPCC... ok. But Suisse, don't know if they are ready to perform well in that race(if you talk about GC). But still it's only two fucking one week races. |

Dombo did well in TOC 2012, beating a certain Horner, but Sky didn't even go this year.

Was it true that Euskaltel's Pro licence was bought by an F1 car driver? Then wishes Conti to ride w/ them?

Does someone know anything about Van Keirsbulck? I don't know if he's trolling or what, I definitely want to have him still in OPQS, but this waiting is killing me. And of course - Lefevre sign De Gendt ffs!

And now calling Astana 'Kazakh' is no longer technically partially correct.
I'm going to start calling Garmin 'the Apache team' until commentators get it

The Ute team is probably better, given they are based in Colorado.

1st August is common for stagiaires, though he won't be an actual one. 1st July might come from a journalists confusion about the "two and a half years" length of the contract.
I guess they don't want to sign him before that, to leave him a chance for the NC in the U23 category. |

I reported in a while ago, but it's confirmed by the man himself.
Estaban Chaves will be joining Orica for next 2 years.

OGE is slowly becoming my favourite team lately!

Sky really need a great GC contender to replace Rigo Uran so that Froome can do the tour and another rider does the Giro and the Vuelta. Henao just isn't good enough and Froome needs Porte.
Does anyone agree?
If you do who do you reckon they will get?
I want the 1 of the young Colombians, Quintana or Betancur

Porte will be the team leader in the Giro next year. Henao might be good enough for next year's Vuelta  |

Don't worry. They'll just find someone in the team who can do it. |

Hell no, I quit cycling and throw a bomb at the Sky HQ if either of that is to happen.
And Porte will do.
