I am hugely underwhelmed by this news.

Once again I find myself agreeing with FM . To cap it all a team dogged with strategic blunders addresses the matter by recruiting Knaven and Portal as trainee director sportif’s.

Get a room you two...

Otherwise, please explain why Rogers is such a bad deal.

I didn't say it was, I just don't think it's particularly significant.

Not bad, as FM says, but not anything.

I think that Sky's lack of a credble GC contender is bad planning. They have a much publicised aim to win the TdF in 5 years with a Brit which is another example of making themselves a hostage to fortune. Rogers has conceded that he's no longer a GC contender anyway so is he going to be any better than the crop of young Brits?

I think they should have made a big effort to entice Cadel rather than MR if the policy is to go for colonials. I'm not sure where the team is heading at present and if they don't get some results this year I wonder if their pro-status will be under scrutiny next time round.

A passing resemblance but you can certainly spot the origins here, before the sex change

I take your point. Although I'm a Sidi Shoese man myself
