I think he will end up being the dog who caught the car when everyone who is anyone leaves Astana and he's left with a "team" that won't get invited to a lot of races. Talk about naive, JB basically saved the team and rebuilt it's reputation. That will all be undone if things happen the way I think they will.

Too bad a catfight broke out here, instead of useful info based on the header.

Timing is interesting (though I saw elsewhere that JB already said he was finished with Astana after the Tour - which I'd guess is more Astana's doing than JB's), still during the Tour?
