Neither would he but he knows the system there and worked well in it.0 -

Rumour Sosa heading to Sky instead of Trek-Segafredo has been around for month or two now, wonder when it'll be confirmed. Maybe when things are quiet.0

Jolanda Neff- who has recently broken young XCO fan's hearts by revealing she's dating one of the DH guys - to join Trek Factory Racing...which I find very surprising!
Wonder if Evie Richards has decided to focus more on CX...?We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Neff has said she's riding for Trek in XCO, CX and some Road (on the new Deignan-led team) and joining three team mates - Emily Batty the XCO-only rider. Ellen Noble and Evie Richards riding XCO and CX.
From her interviews Evie's heart set on Tokyo Olympics so only option there is XCO - I assume she'll continue to ride U23 XCO next season for Trek combined with Elite cyclocross0 -

Neff has said she's riding for Trek in XCO, CX and some Road (on the new Deignan-led team) and joining three team mates - Emily Batty the XCO-only rider. Ellen Noble and Evie Richards both riding XCO and CX.
From her interviews Evie's heart set on Tokyo Olympics so only option there is XCO - I assume she'll continue to ride U23 XCO next season for Trek combined with Elite cyclocross (where SHE'S already world class - over her last four World Cup races she has finished 1st, 3rd, 4th, 2nd).0 -

I'm tempted to ask where Trek is getting all this money from..? But I suppose 1 Man probably still buys 3 or 4 women...
Jolanda can't have come cheap though. There must have been many Swiss brands willing to throw money at her!We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Trek turnover about $1Bn a yr
no idea what the margins are like but prob enough in it to run a womens team alongside $20m or so for the mens.0 -

In addition to re-signing he interestingly moves onto a newly created supervisory board for the team. I'm guessing he brings sponsors with him and leveraging his position vs Doug Ryder.0 -

If it's not the board of directors what does it actually mean?0 -

Dunno the structure. But it sounds like taking some of the control of the team away from the principal.
Some curious quotes from the press release:the next phase of his career will additionally see him take on a new and exciting leadership role within the team as part of a newly formed Supervisory Board.His role will also see him as a part of a number of structural changes within the team from 2019 including the signing of nine new recruits to the rider roster.This new, streamlined focus is to match the increased level of competition on the World Tour by ensuring the team’s future sustainability, together with the support of our partners,
Cav says:“Partners and suppliers are incredibly important to me and I’m incredibly excited about our partners for next year and beyond. I’m proud that I’ve grown to know Dimension Data as a company over the past three years and will be taking a more active role closer to them in this next year."0 -
Drapac stepping back from the WT team and re-focusing upon an Australian continental team. Makes EF a bit less of a mouthful...0

Drops new co sponsor,which had been due to be announced this week has fallen through/dropped out last minute so are looking to crowd fund with a target of 250k in 15days which seems optimistic to say the least

£250K is a the cost of a fairly average press or big sheet poster campaign for any number of brands. I can think of ones that could get far more leverage and PR value out of working with a positive group of healthy, active females.0 -
