Astana have offered Cav a ride for next year.
I can't see him going for it TBH. I know Astana have offered him a ride but he went all in for this year's race and what with everything that's happened in his life over the last few years it would take a serious mental and physical effort to do it all again when he expected to be winding down with a few 'testimonial' races.Been another great TDF. Fingers crossed Cav gets one more crack next year, but not sure if he’s got the team or the legs to grab that stage win. The new kids are seriously rapid.
Also it will be so strange not having a Champs Elysees finale because of the Olympics that start so soon after.Having seen Le Tour's route for next year, two things.
1. Cav is wishing he had retired.
2. Mountain goats only need apply,

Looks like it's favourable (ish) for him up to stage 13. 8 flat, 3 hilly and only two mountain stages*. If he hasn't got that stage win by then it looks really tough after, especially with the last chance sprint on the Champs Elise replaced by an unwinnable ITT.Having seen Le Tour's route for next year, two things.

Saw Vingegaard had crashed but didn't realise Roglic and Pidcock had also been off. Vin's sounds pretty bad too - hopefully that's not a near career-ender like Froome's crash was.What the heck, by this rate most of the favourites for TDF will be off their bikes. I caught the Roglic crash on Tuesday and he should not have been allowed back on. Pidcock did not start as he crashed on a recce run before the start.

Ouch, that's going to take a while to return from. Sounds like carnage out there.Vingegaard's team have said the diagnosis includes a Collapsed lung and tissue bleeding.
Evenepoel was also injured, no details.
