Surely they will only be domestiques anyway?

OGE seem to allow members of their squad to have what Australians would call 'a fair go' - so, while they will be domestiques most of the time, they will also get the opportunity for better and quicker than at Sky, if they do well. As to whether they'd be better off at Sky for the superior training and facilties, well that's another matter...

Sky do need to mellow a bit in their approach and allow their riders to go with their instincts a bit more often - it was great in the Vuelta seeing Kiryienka let off the leash and being allowed to take some personal glory after all the hard work and sacrifices he's made for the team this year.

Indeed. It would be nice to see them supporting EBH more too - he should be fighting for stage wins.

To be fair, he should be fighting for Classics wins...

That too!
I was rather thinking them to put their hope on Cameron Meyer for the GCThat's slightly harsh on Simon Gerrans.
But fair.
(still idle hope in my opinion though
)On other notes:
- Euskaltel riders are still (trying) to jump ship as quickly as possible... Mikel Landa goes to Astana, that's a nice piece to have for Nibbles
- The young Danny Van Poppel goes to Trek (with his brother)
- And Garmin has confirmed the "betrayal" of Acevedo
... so maybe if De Gendt stops his whining and asks for less money than Anton, he might still get a spot on a Pro World Tour Team (OPQS)

think Movistar have signed one Ion Izagirre, but the details were in Spanish and didn't translate well

Marco Pinotti transfers out of the peloton for good. One of the good guys of Italian cycling and one who you hope will remain in pro-cycling.
