Lefevere admits interest in Sagan but wary about price tag to bring his whole entourage (brother, Oss, Bodnar, mechanic, soigneur, press officer(!)) and effects on having a team within a team.

CyclingTips also reports (not sure if this can be attributed to Lefevere) that the team needs help for Remco, but with Deucininck leaving they're in a pinch.

I wonder if it shows that winning classics and stages isn't close to the draw that winning a grand tour is from a funding perspective (Ineos, UAE, recently J-V), or is it the other way around where massive funding is a prerequisite to be in the game?
