Tautology?

EF looks like it is an abbreviation for Education First, hence tautology. But it isn't, hence (I assume) Malcolm's "I know" comment.

I was wondering who was replacing Easypost!

Not the best way to start at your new team...Caja Rural for Fernando Gaviria.
He was caught drink-driving, testing five times over the legal alcohol limit when stopped in October,got a two year suspended sentence.

"Director of Racing" sounds pretty grand. Hopefully it's just a fancy name for a role that won't test him too much to begin with and will give him time to learn.

Being a TdF winner and all round nice guy is no guarantee of success in management. There are plenty of very successful athletes who have flopped in management, and plenty of mediocre ones who have succeeded.

Anyway, best of luck to him.

Wasn't Steve Cummings doing that before?

He doesn’t come across as a natural leader but good luck to him. It sounds like a post created for him to see if he can do the leadership thing and wants to learn.

Speculation that Lipowitz might be looking for somewhere a bit less crowded than Remco-era Red Bull. Lidl Trek?
