Half the Euskatel team? A change of teams would do them Spanish climbers a world of good, get to a team that has stricter guidelines on training, diet etc.

He's going to MTN, isn't he?

Correct.

Far from the best, but Farrar still without a contract I believe.

Brajkovic too. Via CN live feed.
Janez Brajkovic (Slovenia) is still in the mix. No team confirmed for the Astana man yet for 2014. A strong ride will certainly help his chances though.

Brajkovic reported to extended with Astana I believe weeks ago on sevral twitter accounts at least.

Cyclingfever has him extended with Astana too.
 
Does Kloden have a contract? Hardly deserves one based on his season...usually he at least tries to show *some* form when his contract is up, can't imagine how bad he'd be next year with a new two year contract!

Kinda sad really, so many teams closing this season. Vacansoleil, Euskaltel, Sojasun, Bissel, Champion Systems, Crelan Euphony. Even though I think he's a ***, I kinda wish Tinkoff would create a new team from scratch instead of becoming a joint sponsor of cannondale. And that Alonso would also build an entirely new teams for the 2014 season instead of down the line.
