More importantly they offered Jens a place for next year!

But he turned them down citing something called 'loyalty'.

But hey, have I ever taken the easy option? I never went for the simple way in cycling, or in life. I never changed teams for an extra 25 bucks. I feel my future is here, my loyalty is here, and my great friends are here. So I didnโ€™t want to run away. I wanted to face the challenge and I am ready to take some responsibility and pressure and even some of the leadership, trying not only to help my friends but also some of our young kids like Ben King, George Bennett, Nelson Oliveira, or our new super kid, Giacomo Nizzolo.

I love Jens.

I suspect they've paid quite handsomely for this coup.

Bien sur, but one would assume they think it will generate quite a return.

Not a big Rapha fan myself, but combination of Sky and Rapha could catapult cycling, road especially, very mainstream. And dare I say it, 'cool'.

surely this will make the Raphanista's heads explode? Painfully trendy nichey brand ties in with mainstream team funded by evil mega corporation?!
