Philip Deignan?

The more I think about a possible move to SKY, the less I like of the idea. If he goes to SKY he will be turned into another mountain domestique for the GTs. When exactly would he get a chance to shine for himself? If he had been at SKY this year, he would have been working for Wiggins/Uran at the Giro, Froome at the Tour and Henao at the Vuelta. Now Uran has left and Wiggins looks likely to leave but then I think Porte will step up to be a leader. I just don;t see where we would get the chances to shine as SKY don't seem to let their key mountain doms head up the road in breaks. Too many leaders to work for at SKY.

If anything Deignan has benefited this year from riding for a lower level team and I think a lower level PT team with less leaders would be a better choice for him though I don't know what other offers he has had. Thinking maybe Orica-Greenedge or Argos-Shimano here.

Philip Deignan to Sky next year .....some train pulling I suppose

But hope he gets to ride the Tour as I think that's an ambition of his

I think Deignan would like a chance at the Giro considering it visits Ireland. I don't think there is any way SKY will let him do both the Giro and Tour. Tough one Giro or Tour.
