2012 transfers...which team improved the most?

[42x16ss]

Sky definitely is a team which has improved a lot but I think next season we'll see that part of why that is, is beacuse of their current riders improving like Froome, Uran, Eddy Boss etc.

IMHO this current drama with Cavendish could really work in Sky's favour when you look at who they have and who they are getting. The resources the Cav demands could really work against their new signings strengths.

I'd like to see Sky keep their versatility and work on the squad's overall strength - a huge cobbles/classics squad and a very solid GC/stagehunting squad in GT's. Too many talented and promising riders would be wasted pulling back breaks day after day, race after race if Sky sign Cavendish.

The Cav lottery is still going on? I'll be happy when he just announces and we get to see what the ripple effects will be. Here's a crazy idea, if I could magically place him on a team...it would be one of the second tier ones that could use the boost. How about Eurocar?

Maybe, but Voeckler and Rolland have given them a huge boost and they aren't really structured for a sprinter anyway. I would have said Skil, however Kittel has really stepped up and Degenkolb has signed for next year, so they should be fine.

I'd go with FDJ, they have some ok support for their sprinters and could really use the boost.

Butler is staying but I think Barton is moving to an American Domestic team. BMC have gotten rid of Kroon (which is a shame), Kristoff (which is sad but he never does anything), Murphy, Beyer & Louder.
