Hah yes you're right it is Norwegian, I guess the article that I copied from has them noted as a Danish team.Much as I'd like to, I don't think the Norwegians would appreciate us (Danes) stealing their pro team.
Also, isn't this a transfer new?

The 2021 track cycling world championships will be held in Ashgabat so maybe that celebration has something to do with that.Something different for a change. It seems that the dictator of Turkmenistan really loves cycling. At least he held a parade in the capital around a bicycle sculpture with a fancy bike-themed pop song being performedBut enjoy yourself:
Astonishing...Mitchelton Scott has been rebadged as the Manuela Fundacion for 2020 and beyond - Read story on the CN front page - It's always good news when new sponsors enter the sport.
Latest change in calendar:That was the proposal made by the italian federation at the beginning of may when other federations started to postpone national championships due to the sport events and crowds limitations in many countries but UCI don't want to move the national championships weekend so Sanremo will likely be the 15th in the spot left vacant by London-Surrey Classic.
You would expect a greater focus in the future on Spanish riders or those from Spanish speaking countries, though this may have to wait to 2022 - In saying that the team should be chasing Cortina.Read an article about this and it does sound like it will eventually start to at minimum add a focus on Spanish riders.
The new kit is nice.
Can you tell more? Or link something?Flanders Classics changing some parts of the courses of their races. There won't be a Muur this year and the Ronde.

They are definitely keeping the women's team - MS women's team is in the top 3 teams in the world - Anyway it's great to see another Spanish Tour in the WT.From the sounds of it (from Spanish articles and a few people who know the organization in Spain) it sounds like the changes will start slowly in signings for 2021, but the bigger changes will start with 2022 and after. Also found out they currently have a Spanish U-23 team, so they could start pulling riders from that team.
I suspect if they keep the women's team there will be less changes with it.
True, and it would be dumb to eliminate that team. I don't think they will do much to make it more "Spanish" other than maybe try to to add 1 or 2 Spanish cyclists to it, but I suspect for the most part that team will be left alone.They are definitely keeping the women's team - MS women's team is in the top 3 teams in the world - Anyway it's great to see another Spanish Tour in the WT.
Titanium and awesomeness.And meanwhile Cavendish went on a ride with Spratt and Van Vleuten. Or... at least he tried to.

I like this, this plus Tirreno-Adriatico from the 7th to the 14th of September seems like a nice block of racing in Italy.Latest change in calendar:
1st August: Strade Bianche
5th August: Milano - Torino
8th August: Milano - Sanremo
12th August: Gran Piemonte
15th August: Lombardia
This makes a lot of sense: Sanremo requires closing large portions of the Aurelia, which doesn't look like a great idea on the 15th of August. Lombardia should be more managable.
It would be quite cool, actually.Where is Schachmann going? He could aim for the rare - and normally literally impossible - P-N, T-A double.
Though, I suppose it won't be much of a double with several months in between...
MS has strong Spanish roots - A couple of backroom staff are Spanish while Matt White has lived in Spain for 15 years while most of the team live in Spain and Andorra - I'll be interested to see their new budget.True, and it would be dumb to eliminate that team. I don't think they will do much to make it more "Spanish" other than maybe try to to add 1 or 2 Spanish cyclists to it, but I suspect for the most part that team will be left alone.
I agree it's nice to see another Spanish WT team. My friends over there seem to be very excited that they will have a second WT team.
