Nice win from foldager
Jayco did have a strong team but there were lots of quality world tour teams and riders also.

These 6 are locked in for the TDF - Matthews, Plapp, O'Connor, O'brien, Schmid and Durbridge.

O'Brien lead out for Schmid/Bling?

O'Brien lead out for Schmid/Bling?

The team is targetting the TTT which on a flat course they would definitely be top 3 but with the two short climbs you need to be 15 or 20 seconds clear of Pogacar and the UAE. Anyway the team has four potential stage winners in Bling, Schmid, O'Connor and Plapp.

I’m sure this young Belgian sprinter will end up on a higher level team, but Jayco should be throwing their hat in to the ring.

Winning and securing solid top 10’s against WT competition.

I suspect jayco will have another go at extricating Welsford from his contract.

This could be a barren Giro for Jayco losing Vendrame who i reckon could have won stage 2. Their only chance to win a stage is Englehardt who is in shape but will need luck.

Schmid to Q36.5 which is a blow for jayco. I don't understand this transfer as Schmid will be competeting with Pidcock for leadership.

Big blow. Scary time obviously with Gerry Ryan’s comments about the future.
Budget wise with the recent losses of Yates, Groenewegen & now Schmid, there should be a decent budget for sprinter & GC rider?

Yikes.

What happens if Jayco can't secure the required funding whilst they have a world tour licence?
I have heard teams can just 'buy' the licence?
ie. Q 36.5 just buying the WT licence off Jayco and Jayco would effectively fold?
