DQS cannot 'afford' to keep Sam because they have lost Deceuninck as a sponsor despite having committed to Evenepoel and Allaphillipe and Asgreen on multi year deals and yet Sagan is now being linked to them, with some expectation of maintaining his €4-5M annual salary? I know Specialized will be covering some of this cost, but I still don't see how those ends meet when Sam is still likely to get better results for the team. It has been adequately how Sagan is worth much more to a team than the sum of his wins - but still ! That sounds like a ball-hop to me..............?

I'm sure Remco will be an excellent rider but currently he's struggling on descents, with explosive climbs, with steep climbs and his bike handling. He's just back from a long injury obviously but right now looks very far from the finished article.

Bennett is currently the best but will be forgotten outside Ireland just like Matthews, Ewan, Gaviria and so on. Sagan is Ala probably is close and Remco is likely to be legends of the sport. It sucks but it's how it is

breezy1985 wrote: » What limitations exactly ? Taking into account the Giro is his first race in almost a year. He certainly has a lot less limitations than Bennett
dahat wrote: » Descending for one, QS are to hire a specialist to help him with it. He does need to work on elements of his skill set to rival the current GC stars so hopefully over the next 2 years he does. My fear is he is at the wrong team for a GC challenge in any 3 week race. They need to hire some serious horse power for that soon.
