    Ineos. They pay the most and that is what being a pro is all about.
    Don't bring up winning. I wouldn't. :lol:
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    It would be Mitchelton Scott for me.

    It matches my bike, and I would get to wear all my fanboy kit legitimately.

    Plus from an outsiders perspective, it seems to be the best blend of camaraderie, enjoyable environment, and some pretty decent results.

    Oh and black and yellow.

    None. Pro Cycling is insanely hard.

    Cofidis. I would fit in with their level of expectation of success.

    Quickstep because they win just about every one day race, seemingly taking it in turns, so I would be standing on the top of the podium at one race a season :D

    Plus I like their kit

    Ineos.I'd be crap at riding a bike for them but I think I could drive that big shiny team bus.

    Movistar, I could use Quintana’s bike when he leaves.

    Lampre. Didn't matter what they did, the sponsors were always pleased as you couldn't miss them.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    Also means they could spot you hiding at the back. :wink:

    I was thinking maybe I would like to be part of the Subaru team. They ‘Impreza’ me the most and I could certainly leave a good Legacy...

    if I was any good Ineos or DQS. however, Ineos prob have a lot of pressure for the money and you are expected (I imagine) to be ON at all times. it suits a certain type of rider but you may just be part of the train to deliver your GT leader. DQS looks a lot more fun but the standard in there is massive. Gilbert and Alaphilippe just two examples but for someone like James Knox, it must be like going to Cycling University. just learning the tricks about echelons, Classics etc must be an experience. EF look a bit more relaxed.

    Bristol Rugby. Love a good ruck. I was a high level prop which I suppose is an oxymoron.

    Did you have to lower the tone?
