Why? He's just finished 2nd in a GT. Wiggins will go for tour and Froome can Target either of the other 2.
Where's Cav Going?

They were talking about Geraint Thomas, I think, not Froome.

Oops !
I was waiting for cav to come out of the (surprisingly small) HTC bus, to sign autographs after today's tob stage.
He came out signed a few, then about 30 of us ' went for a walk'!
My sister got a stage map signed by him, then I politely asked him if he was allowed to sign my hat yet?
I held out my team sky hat, he didn't actually say anything, but he gave us a cheeky smile took the hat and signed it. :-)

Have a mate doing a charity ride, Team Sky are involved, and he tells me Cavendish is nailed on for them. Some bits of an interview he did here where he mentions Cavendish.

Cricket and cycling: my two great loves.
Good interview - he comes across as a very decent fella. Laughed when he said 40-50 miles was a long way. Hope they do well.
And didn't that Sky shirt fit Cav very well.

I've been training with him, he's done one 80 odd miler so far, and and a handful of 50's. It will be hard work, but he will do it! He's not riding again until the ride starts on Oct 7, as he's off on holiday! Bonkers I know.
Nice one. Dayvo and I are both cricket fans.
Chris Adams did wonders for Sussex CCC when he was in charge and it's a regret that he moved to Surrey to manage them, taking Rory Hamilton-Brown with him.
Chris always comes over as a decent bloke too; I wish them well.

Well Wiggo dropped a bollock by insinuating that Cav will be riding with Sky next year in his interview with the Guardian yesterday.
I also heard on Sat that Cav had turned down an offer of £4m a year from Quick Step to join Team Sky on a £2.5m a year contract. Whispers mind, nothing concrete.
I suspect Monday will bring the announcement and cycling's worst kept secret

If the rumour is correct and he turned down #4 million with Quick Step to go to Sky at #2.5 milion that's his heart ruling his head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which simply proves that the numbers quoted are complete spheroids. Which is why rumour is fun but can't be seriously considered. "My mate is doing a ride in which Sky are involved and someone said he is nailed on for 2012".
Clearly a dependable source.......
Like many, I think the next week will be one of revalation.

Am I the only one who doesn't want him to go to Sky? As others have probably said, it's going to be difficult to estsblish who's team leader. Wiggins, Cav, or Chris Froome (after the Vuelta)? Personally I think it would be great if Cav went to QuickStep as Boonen seems to be a spent force (relatively speaking), and he'd be a constant irritant to Mr Brailsford's masterplan. Not that I have anything against Dave or Sky, I just find drama and conflict more entertaining than a watching a well-oiled machine!
