Actually it says ‘reportedly’. There is still hope he’ll find his scruples.

Let's be honest here,it's not like he's been flooded with offers ? As much as we think he's a star signing a lot of teams or management aren't as sure.I think they know a little more than us.Although Astana will be a lot of peoples last choice it's a place on a team that's obviously willing to give him a shot at the Tour.Being brutally honest I don't see many others willing to take a chance.
Good luck to him !

@Jameshow - have a look at CycleChat's Zwift teams 
We've a B and a C/D team racing on Tuesday evenings ... 
On another note Cams Basso has signed Emma Jeffers, who won several of the Tour series rounds plus others internationally this year as a Junior. One to watch; we've seen her racing as part of my son's ex team for the past two years and she's a strong sprinter.

I was as well, less you are into Zwift racing. Although you can sign onto several different teams in the UK who offer associate rider status.

At least you changed from rubbish to reportedly ...............

He hasn't got a lot of other options that guarantee a tour invite and have a budget and roster space to sign him, so may need to swallow his scruples...... Mind Astana don't have much of lead out train for him either, nor a focus on sprinting. Cees Boll may be incoming to Astana too.

I guess I'm just thinking that he has loads of money, he has the record, his career is untarnished. Is one more stage really worth the loss of integrity?
I KNOW I'm being horribly naive here. But I don't think it is worthwhile. If he rides for Astana, that 35th victory will be hollow. And that's such a shame.

Astana moving Nurbergen Nurlykhassym to Development team making room for Mark Cavendish and Cees Bol.

I'm really not sure money will be any sort of motivation for him anyway,although with no definite statement from him or team could be still in negotiations regarding contract/wages.
Can't really agree he'll have any loss of integrity though...he's more than proved his worth over his career.Astana could really be his only choice.
Do I like him and respect him and what he's achieved .. without doubt ! But I don't overthink it,what will be will be 😁

I know that Team Evil are evil, and we're all duty bound to boo and hiss when they appear, just like we are bound to point and laugh when Movistar appear. But are they really that much more evil than everyone else?
It will make the booing and hissing a tricky business. We don't boo Cav, obvs. Maybe also don't boo whoever is doing his leadout?
