I didn't expect them to be so good early on.
Carboni and Kubis especially seem like two very good transfers.

That makes 3 victories so far this season, they've been very solid so far and with numerous riders.

Seems like a done deal, most media report on it being all but confirmed and every rider has been told to sign elsewhere if they can.

I dont see them missing out now. Unless Arkea indeed somehow survives (they now would have a chance at getting guaranteed WCs) TDT is going to the Tour. Who else are they gonna give a WC too?

Pro stagione 2025

Netflix in procinto di acquistare Warner Bros. é quella che ha offerto di più per l'acquisto (28 dollari per azione). Il grosso dell'affare naturalmente lo fanno film e serie tv (warner bros possiede tra l'altro HBO) ma, per quello che ci riguarda, Eurosport potrebbe di nuovo cambiare proprietà...

so Dolph has managed to instill some "ordnung muss sein" into the rocket engine room. Still early days, but the heavies could see another big boy re-entering the competition this year.
