    just spotted there that Fabio Aru has also signed for UAE Team Emirates.

    surely that has to be bad news for dan?

    Aru for the Giro, Dan for the Tour. Now can they get a good enough supporting cast for both is the question

    The rumours of Aru moving to UAE have been floating around for a good few months, even before Dan had signed. So I'd say he was well aware of the situation.

    I think Dan even mentioned that in interviews, or it was at least put to him? Aru for the Giro, Dan for the Tour was the plan. I'm not sure Dan really needs really strong domestiques, it's that he needs to be the focus. The cross winds tour stage it was to do with so many quick steps behind with Kittel, rather than the relative strength or otherwise of the riders.
