No wins for Cav, but Pascal dominates.

I don't doubt he'll lift others up with his experience and passion. Perhaps he'll help Bennett find the eye of the tiger. But I have a tough time seeing Cav being happy becoming a Renshaw / Eisel type of rider.

I dunno, he kind of "financed" himself, so he should know he's not the top shot. Would be cool to see him win but I also hope he uses this as a graceful exit. Like use all the media attention to start pushing some kind of noble agenda or non profit that he can slip into next year.

I've got a tough time seeing any motivation behind this move tied to an enabler for hm to build a soft spot to land. Or as it advancing that cause (beyond the substantial juice he's already got) in any other way than by him winning, which is what I accept at face value it's all about. To Cav. And to Lefevre, although that cagey old man is bit more flexible about who takes the win.
Either way it goes, I really hope we don't see him off the front at km 0 again.
Two interesting snippets from the OP article, which struck me when I first read it and caught my eye again when I glanced over it just now:
- "He has a long and sad story about Epstein Barr and all those different complaints. He has a chance now that nobody else wanted to give him but, for me, he starts at zero. We’ll take him for his experience but, to be clear, he’s not a trainer. He’s not a performance manager or a directeur sportif but he can bring some experience to the guys.
- "If I can do this then I’m Wonderboy," Lefevere said.

I think Levefre (and the complete team DQS) can bring the best out of riders (if they fit in the team).
He just need the mental support of the team I guess.
I hope he’ll be back at the top of his game, or at least a decent retirement.
