Thanks Alex, great read!

I guess the other pro teams will be happy they might be able to win more TdF stages now! .... assuming Cav doesn't form the famous "train" elsewhere!

[quote="Sean Hogan"]Renshaw & Eisel previously held to HTC contractstill 2013 are also free to join Cav now, so that train may remain intact after all.

Renshaw may be tempted to go to GreenEDGE and start challenging Cav :?:

[quote="Sean Hogan"]Read an interesting theory that HTC never had a main title sponsor and had effectively been living off the settlement from T-Mobile as well as top ups by Bob and others not forgetting the secondary sponsorships from Colombia and HTC, which were apparantly at much reduced levels. This might explain why Cav was on a low deal, realtively speaking despite his enormous success.
