Really hope he'll stay loyal to Europcar
If they don't get to WT in two, three years, don't see him stay there.
Oh I don't know. Europcar has some attracting quality. Voeckler and Rolland remain loyal even though they're both WT material. |

Yes, but those mainly target TdF. Maybe he'll stay. |

That's true. But what would he target? Tour, P - N, Gent - Wevelgem, maybe, either way, all races where Europcar (can) start, too. |

If he continues this, next year I can already see him leaving to a team either offering him 1) bigger wage 2) better support.

I agree. But, like I said, Europcar has some sort of attraction. So I wonder if he'll stay loyal or chose for the better money/support. (Though Europcar can give him big support, too!) |

From what I can remember from something Bernadeau said, he really wants to build a team around Rolland and Coquard in the next couple of years and he mentioned that he wants a bigger budget sponsor specifically so that he can give Coquard the development that he wants. If he can get that money then I don't see Coquard leaving any time soon, given that he would get to race a pretty extensive World Tour calendar as long as he stays in Bernadeau's team anyway. Almost every year he would be guaranteed, at a minimum, Paris-Nice, Dauphine and TdF.

You just want him at Sky.

But if Coquard joined Sky he would win the Tour De France in 2016.

Speaking of Coquard, he just won the second stage of the Tour de Picardie. |

Man, he's just phenomenal so far. As I said before, new future Cavendish forming before our eyes.

Sbaragli also having a nice season so far. He will become a great sprinter in a few years I think. Plus he seems to be able to climb over the hills quite well.
He was also doing well in MSR but had a technical on the last climb. |

If that means we'll get rid of the old one sooner, I'm completely fine with that.

He's an amazing sprinter. Europcar is just full of talent. A team with Voeckler, Rolland, Coquard, Gaudin and Turgot, those are not the worst riders |

Cardoso is a great rider for teams in the Pro Continental level. A very decent climber, and if in good shape, can be a good bet for a top-15/20 in a Grand Tour. One of the few Portuguese riders who are having results out there. |

Giro della Regione Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, Stage 4
1. | | | | POLANC Jan | | RAR | | 3h57'44" | | | | 2. | | | | DALL'OSTE Daniele | | - | | 23" | | | 3. | | | | ROVNY Ivan | | CEF | | 26" | | | | 4. | | | | ZOIDL Riccardo | | GMS | | 31" | | | | 5. | | | | MANFREDI Andrea | | CEF | |
Another great looking prospect, from Slovenia wins the queen stage of the race beating some in-form riders in Zoidl and Rovny.
Polanc is last year's winner of Piccolo Giro di Lombardia.
