Yes, but I'm not anti- any of those teams. If Willie makes me like Sky...shoo...personal crisis incoming.

Bora, Trek and Movistar have made very few signings ..Movistar 's budget may be blown with Landa and starting a ladies team.

 

Sky, UAE, QS, have made loads of signings...and all riders similar to Willie I think.. UAE have a huge budget though..

 

I would actually love a Bora move..yoh.. what a lekker team.

 

Wherever he ends up he'll have so much support. . The last week or so he has become a rockstar and he doesn't even know it [emoji23][emoji23]

I'm not so sure budget is going to be a huge issue. We're talking about a rider with no WT experience and no brand value (at the time of signing). His performance yesterday would have made the team pleased. People are talking about him now, at least in the Netherlands.

I'm certainly no expert, but if I was Willie, a rider with some good results in smaller races and a point to prove, I wouldn't be demanding much by way of salary. Just pay me enough to live and give me a shot at riding for you. Maybe our resident in-the-knows know more when it comes to the salary expectations, but I don't see his salary as being an issue even for teams hard-up on their budget.

Everyone loves Mallorca. If you have ever been there you will understand why. I fell in total love with the place last year.

If Willie was to sign with the WT team would he not still be classified as a neo pro which means according to rules he would receive the min wage (can't remember exactly what it is) as well as a 2 yr (?) contract.

Not sure about the contract term, but 30k euro a year is not a lot of money. No wonder so many guys pull out of self funded races
