Any rumours about Lucas Hamilton? Didn't ride a GT in 2 years, must be gone.

Signings look iteresting, but they lost pretty much all of their best riders. Menten, Dupont, Aniolkowski, Rex, Livyns, Paquot, Paasschens.

I wouldn't be so sure. He got his results against weaker competition, Cosnefroy could also beat Vadim Pronskiy and Paul Double if he peaked for Adriatica Ionica.

Quinten Hermans and Corne van Kessel to Wanty for 3 years. Few months ago their manager said that Hermans is only available in package with his buddy, looks like he wasn't kidding. They will keep riding cyclocross for new Wanty team called Tormans CX.

I think he will be attacking from afar or working for Ballerini/Bilbao. It is not like he was getting lost in position battle lately, he just stopped trying. In Norway was working for Lutsenko in reduced sprint of ~25.

Who is new besides Carapaz?

Adam Yates said he is not riding and Chaves will be their leader. Simon also should rest after 3 GT's in a row. https://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme-sur-route/Actualites/Adam-yates-absent-de-la-vuelta-mitchelton-scott-fait-confiance-a-esteban-chaves/1043108
