If they added his name to a Bora list that lacked it this morning, that might be meaningful: if it is simply a matter that everyone who has a contract registered with them for next season then it is no mare than indicating that the status quo holds until it doesn't. They would be making more of a point if they did anything other than treat his acknowledged contract for 2024 any different from anyone else's.

This could knock Peter Odemwingie trying to engineer a transfer by turning up at the QPR car park off the top spot by the end, especially if he has to stay and ride in Bora colours next season, tail between legs.
It has already surpassed the Yaya Toure birthday cake saga, another classic of the genre.

Don't compare this to football. In football a one million buyout is absolute peanuts. You'd never end up in court over an amount like that.

In England clubs at the highest level often ends up in a FA tribunal deciding the buy out for young players when it comes to similar or even smaller amounts.

Fair enough. Is that a real court of law though? And are these players of the calibre of an Uijtdebroeks? Let's say he's cycling's equivalent of a striker at Ajax wanting to move to Real Madrid, with one year left on his contract.

Maybe Bora will abduct him to their own team presentation an hour later.

I can't imagine they'd make a public announcement of signing him if a deal hadn't been reached...

Valter seriously overestimating his own abilities. If he goes to the Giro he’ll learn

Yeah, and I was already surprised how much faith the team had in him this year. He screams mid to me.

He was really strong in Strade. Did a few good leadouts for Vingegaard here and there. But otherwise he's been fairly underwhelming (and nowhere near as good as Uijtdebroeks).

Just yesterday we discussed on how UEFA rules and regulations can become best wishes. If somebody takes them all the way in EU courts. And today a ruling was made that sort of favours Super League and alike. On top of that ruling was made, that prevents clubs, including Belgium, to demand some percentage of the players in the club, to be developed in home league. As that is against EU laws.
It's just the way it works ATM. There is no real sports law framework in EU. Determining what is allowed and what is not. That usually is determined through litigation. So i guess we will see something similar in this case too. UCI commission to make a decision, based on their own set of rules and regulations. If any party disagreeing, they can latter turn to litigation.
Here likely the whole transfer system, currently regulated by UCI, will at some point be under scrutiny. This is hence what is likely behind all of this. Parties, like agents, likely they feel current system is to rigid, for them to do (more ) business. And they want to change that.
Cian likely presented a perfect opportunity and they choose to take it.

if they haven't reached a deal, this is pretty disrespectful. I hope Bora take the yellow b's to CAS.

Has the Bora team presentation happened yet? If it hasn't, he should totally go to that one too, just to completely confuse people.
