Breschel to Rabobank, Nuyens out ?

[Michielveedeebee]

Breukink says to Sporza that the Rabobank team can now form a strong team for the classics consisting of Boom, Langeveld and Breschel.
Good for Breschel because he's not bothered with Spartacus anymore. But what I also noticed is that Breukink doesn't say anything about Nuyens... Does this mean they're letting him go? Thoughts?


Erik Breukinks reaction from the Sporza-site

"Breschel heeft al laten zien dat hij een van de meest talentvolle renners is voor eendagwedstrijden. Samen met Lars Boom en Sebastian Langeveld hebben we nu een sterk blok voor de klassiekers", zegt technisch directeur Erik Breukink.

Well that would be logical
Nuyens didn't really did what he was signed for.

Well, it's been clear for a while now that Nuyens is free to look for new challenges. He's done next to nothing for Rabo, so no surprises there.

no he didn't but this year he was good in the opening weekend(omloop and KBK) yet very unlucky. I'd like to see him go back to quick-step as a replacement for Devolder.

EDIT: it would also take the pressure away from Boonen. They could use him like they did in 2005 and 2006. He won some decent races then

Rambo had some bad luck this year, and he clearly is a man for the early season. Lets give him thru next spring before we write him off.

Rambo is nearly 40, that's Eeckhout.

I think nuyens did not like the bad Rabobank environment so i think he would fit into the BMC environment much better.

Yes, he would surely fit into their team of classics "stars" who never win classics.

Now Rabobank has an interesting team for the classics but I'm not sure I'd call it "sterk". Langeveld, Boom and Breschel haven't really delivered yet.

I really rate Breschel.
I am unconvinced by Boom and his ability on these very long stages.
As for Langeveld, well I think he is due for something big. Very talented rider.
