Cameron Meyer will be free at the end of this season. After four years with Orica GreenEDGE Cycling team, the Australian rider hopes to rebound in an other pro team. According to Cyclingnews, his agent told that he is currently in negotiations with seven World Tour team.
"His thoughts are that he can be a very good contributor in a grand tour team," Evans said of Meyer. "He's a very good team time trialler, one of the best in the world at that, so he's a handy guy to have when you're trying to stop your tiny climbing guys losing minutes to other teams. He's also light enough to be a domestique when it gets a little lumpier so he's there as an assets for the team leader. So he's good in that capacity as a grand tour rider but for his own personal attributes, the one-week tours I think he feels he can go out there and win them."
He added the list of the races that he will be able to win. "Races like Tour Down Under, California, Romandie, Suisse, Paris-Nice … those sorts of races are ones he can aim for."
Giant Alpecin, Team Sky, MTN-Qhubeka, BMC, IAM Cycling, Etixx-Quick Step and Cannondale-Garmin are currently interested in Meyer. "He's a guy that I think has capability so I am looking for teams who are looking to take on a guy at 'none-expensive price level', not your Nairo Quintana’s and your high end guys who can climb. We’re looking for teams who will look at him as a guy who can develop and take him on as a good domestique for the mountains stages."
