Jens Voigt will most likely go back to Saxobank after this season.
He also has offers from RadioShack and Team Sky. RadioShack might be unlikely with their actual financial problems, while Sky wouldn`t be the team I want to see Voigt at. |

I don't want to see Jens work for Contador either, but that would be still the best decision (apart from the new German team, which obviously is unrealistic to form after Frank's story).
Either way, it's awesome to see him another year

Appollonio leaving was obvious, didn't get chances at bigger races - and doesn't produce at the smaller ones too. Sky saw Appo 2 years ago as much bigger talent that he is ( looking so far ) . AG2R is a good move for him.
You've said this about everyone who has been even remotely tied to Sky. There is no way they could turn him into a GT contender because he wouldn't get leadership or even freedom to ride for himself.
Same was said about Porte. Why would he go to Sky ? He wouln't have any chances to lead in races..blahblahblah... However Porte wasn't as big name as Janez is - but going to Sky can help him.
Brajkovic in 2010 was seen as one of best climbing talents there is. Now not so  He went to Astana as he would lead in more races - but he didn't improve one inch from 2010 looking at 2012 in his climbing skills...
Going to Sky can be good choice for him - especially rider like Brajkovic.
Going to a smaller team where he'll lead in more races is not always the best option for a rider - especially for Brajkovic in my view.
Yeah, I meant Rohan Denis
Yeah, Hunt should be retiring this year on next. Likely to leave Sky too and possibly join Endura or some other British team to end his career.

Yes, Porte has led Sky in the Volta ao Algarve. Uh, big deal.

Porte has never lead a team in a GT before. Brajkovic has. As such Brajkovic going to super domestique duties would be a huge step down for him.

A Brajkovic interview I head at the Tour gave the impression he thought that riding for 8th or so was about his level. If you dont think you can do better, then perhaps thats why he is more interested in a bigger paying but less leadership role.

Brajkovic is always singing Sky's praises/talking about them on Twitter. Wouldn't surprise me if he goes there.
janibrajkovic ‏@janibrajkovic
Cake with raisins, almonds, figs. @teamskychef level https://instagr.am...eSKt5QKLJ/
janibrajkovic ‏@janibrajkovic
Congrats to @bradwiggins and @chrisfroome for 1-2 spots. Well deserved, a level above every1 else, nothing was given to them.
janibrajkovic ‏@janibrajkovic
Together in helicopter with @bradwiggins and @chrisfroome. Quite an honor.
janibrajkovic ‏@janibrajkovic
Ouch... @mickrogers thanks a lot mate.
janibrajkovic ‏@janibrajkovic
Couple of years ago every1 was laughing at @TeamSky for doing million things trying to improve performance, now when they're flying...
janibrajkovic ‏@janibrajkovic
....it's very easy to say they must be doing something... Yes, they r, training, nutrition, dedication, etc. well deserved
That was all during the TdF pretty much. Then this back in Romandie:
janibrajkovic ‏@janibrajkovic
If I had to choose a TDR winner outside our team I'd say @bradwiggins. @TeamSky pulling all week, not asking for help. |

Imagine the train that they could have if they decided to go all in for the mountains in one race.
Thomas
Boasson Hagen
Nordhaug
Henao
Porte
Uran
Brajkovic
Wiggins
Froome
This is seriously scary.

Yeah, I know. I just included a squad of 9.
They could obviously swap out Thomas or Boasson Hagen for Siutsou or Pate. The strength would be basically the same.

A very minor rumor: Marco Bandiera is targeted by Liquigas who wants to set up a nice sprint train for next year for Sagan and Viviani, even if Bandiera is talking with Vacansoleil and Argos.
