I don't think he eschews coaching in its entirety. Just the power meter based stuff (which is less relevant for a sprinter I would imagine).Strange to hire a rider that eschews coaching as a coach, but good on Cav.Twitter: @RichN950 -

Cav has never had anything but fantastic things to say about his years of being coached by Rod Ellingworth.
Ramp tests, now. He 'ates them.
But Rod as a coach and mentor...nowt but appreciation. So much so that he tried to get Ellingworth to move with him to Quickstep in 20130 -
Roger Hammond is Team DD's new Sports Director... in return Cavendish is going to give the folks at Madison Genesis some coaching...
Is there no a clash of interests here? DS for two teams, even if not in the same "league" doesn't seem appropriate.0 -
is it that different to katusha pro tour team and conti team, or Sky, Team Wiggins and Team GB?Roger Hammond is Team DD's new Sports Director... in return Cavendish is going to give the folks at Madison Genesis some coaching...

Possibly is different. Surely Madison and mtn/dd are different organisations, management structures and not linked. Thought it had been proven that Sky/TeamGB are different organisations. As for Wiggins...0

Katusha appear to be attempting to transfer out of Russia...0

The only people who don't 'ate ramp tests are people who haven't done ramp tests.0 -
Trek-Segafredo talking to his Nibs confirmed, looking to sign for 2017 season0

Dynamo Cover (formerly We are Wales) is shaping up to be a nice project too. 3 more signings to be announced.
It's all gone a bit Pete Tong for this team... Sponsorship (by a former Apprentice contestant) is off for 2016... all a bit opaque. Serious shame for the riders who thought they had a contract for next season.0 -
Mad Oleg is transferring out of cycling, to take his managerial skills to environment more appreciative of his genius. Or something.0

It does seem a bit "You won't do as you're told so I'm off""In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Giuseppe Martinelli has left his role as Astana team manager, to be replaced by Dimitry Fofonov. This will have implications for the rather complex politics of that team and their future direction.
(PS Doping fans: Although Fofonov tested positive as a rider as recently as 2008, I must remind you that Astana have never made a virtue of being clean, unlike other teams, so there is no need to mention this).Twitter: @RichN950 -

Imagine being able to replace Martinelli with someone even worse.

I think it's a shame.
Tinkoff was good value, and it's always fun to have big characters that everyone hates.
He gives some much needed needle (pun not intended, so don't make the obvious joke) and character in an otherwise fairly dull peloton.
And his money will be missed....0 -
Don't worry Rick, help is at hand. There's Donald Trump or Tyson Fury to keep you amused. Or just pop along to your local UKIP meeting and you'll find other big characters just like them. (Outside London we call them arseholes).

Faith in what?
That people can work out Tinkoff is a wally but one that adds some colour to what is ultimately entertainment?0 -

Well, you could take the tale of luke skywalker to be an allegory of the path to Jihad terrorism,but that's best discussed elsewhere.0

Judging from interviews with Martin on cycling podcast and Lefevre, looks like that he'll go after GC after the Ardenne. Now training in Andorra all the time - more climbing...0
