Norwegian TV 2 are reporting that Uno-X has secured the transfer of Torstein Træen from Bahrain - Victorious. The deal as far as they report has been agreed but the paperwork has not yet been signed.

Just to clarify what's going on, as far as I understand it. This has to do with the specific moment we are in right now. Since we are at the end of the 3 year WT license period, there are no current licenses to be sold. Instead everyone´s license expires and the UCI allocates 18 fresh WT...

That also can't happy right now. Any large structural changes even to the legal entity needs to be approved by the UCI and that just won't happen in the middle of the application period. This would have needed to happen way earlier so that it's the new owner that is the one making the...

He may have had legal grounds to terminate his contract, that I have no insight into. I was just speaking about the team and it's status. The team that has registered for the WT must surely be the same legal entity as IPT or else they would not even be eligible for the WT. The sponsors are...

Ya, some type of team has registered for WT for next year and unlike Jayco on deadline day, they have also sent in bank guarantees etc. So whatever formation that team will have they are legally still the same entity as IPT as far as the UCI are concerned, are they not?

Stocking up on norwegians as well by hte looks of it. If they get Feldmann that would be 4. Looks like they could become like a PT farm team for Uno-X. Had hoped Feldmann would end up with them instead but give him a couple years in Rockets and Uno-X can come get him then.

That was on his Cervelo if I remember correctly. What I'm talking about are flat tires or other issues much earlier in the races like in the Arenberg forest.

For Hushovd, I think he lost a lot of years staying at Credit Agricole. They simply didn't have the materials or team strength in the classics to really support someone in the top monuments. He did win Gent-Wevelgem and came 3rd in MS-R at Credit Agricole so he did have the capacity but he also...

As far as I know there is no team that gets automatic WC to all one day races. That spot became the 3rd WC for all WT races that Cofidis gets. They didn't add any automatic spot for a 4th team.

This is the real issue. They should have gotten a commitment from all sponsors a long long time ago.

I read that one potential cause of blood clots was dehydration so my initial thought went to excessive heat training. Hard to think a cyclist would get severely dehydrated though with the amounts they usually drink on a daily basis.

I couldn't see any mentions of it on the forum so wasn't sure if everyone was aware than Simon Dalby of Uno-X Mobility suffered two small blood clots in the brain earlier this week. Statement from the team: "ℹ️ Simon Dalby – Medical Update Last week, @simon_dalby suffered two small blood...

So this UCI news eliminates one potential obvious pick from next years event.

Ya, I suppose that's true. It just feels a little vulnerable to rely so heavily on just a few riders. I guess even if they would crash out like Lotto did this year with their points, they would still have two other years to make it right to not get relegated. It's funny really how little the...

Ya, I always mix up Kaden and Corbin.
