    Good move & great to see him back
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    I've been impressed with OGE's recent strategy of recruiting and backing of young, talented riders. Backing Chaves was a courageous move and the way they've handled the Yates bro's has been admirable.

    If Blythe can emulate those three then that's a brilliant move for him and OGE. Even if he finds a niche as a respectable young classics strong-man (I'm thinking a similar path to Jens Keukeleire) then that's great because in that team there is room for him to grow as he enters his prime.

    they have lots of second rate sprinters and Caleb Ewan who could be a top sprinter in a few years, I don't really know what kind of a rider Blythe is, could he be more of a classics rider than a sprinter as he probably isn't going to be up there with cav, kittle etc

    It's this which meant he had to take a step down last time. I have no time for the guy personally, I hope he can make this one stick and focus himself. He seems to have done that in the last 12 months (likely to secure a WT Team place).

    He's been seen as a bit of a chav in the past but now he's on an Aussie team he'll be thought of as the sophisticated team member.
