The guy signed a two year deal, honor it. Maybe JV should have left him at Colombia were he could have been part of his "mate's" lead out train. Oh, I forgot he doesn't like him either. Who's the common denominator here?? Wow, that was really a d!@k move. The guy signed a two year deal, honor it.

I may be wrong, but I don't see a first year Sky Team being Manchester United to Garmin's Wigan. They have signed some terrific talent, and will no doubt have success next year. Probably something like Cervelo this year. But Cervelo didn't have what was needed to support Sastre in a grand tour this year, and I don't see Sky having the fire power needed to put Wiggins on the podium next year. Not necessarily the "step up" that Wiggins thinks he needs. Man United? I may be wrong, but I don’t see a first year Sky Team being Manchester United to Garmin’s Wigan.

They're sponsors of the national squad and that's about it. Methinks this hype about Wiggo's team next year has gotten a little out of hand.
