In the post-Froome era, Ineos has spent a TON of money on seeming great talent. And yeah, they've had some pretty good results with Bernal and Carapaz and Thomas, but considering their bankroll and their ambition, they have been falling short. I appreciate that they are trying to cultivate young talent, rather than only buying established stars, but clearly all this reshuffling reflects their frustrations about results.
Shorter - Yates was never going to be their ticket to glory. I totally understand why they gave him a lowball offer.
