i consider brennan a talent

 

[Tim Cahill]

One clueless upper management mandarin trying to micromanage everything and just getting in the way? We’ve all been there.

I was going to make a joke about him having a perfect record against Slovenia, but it was sadly Slovakia he beat in that one match he had in charge for England. Anyway, they should sign McClaren instead. He already speaks Dutch fluently.

Jamaican too, though he got sacked recently in disgrace, Plus ça change.

It took me years to master Danish, while this guy could do it in no time without even trying.

Lemon off the bike for a month and Kuss down with another illness. They just need people to sign on at this point, just get someone who can ride about a bit, Herman Pernsteiner is without a team, Alarcon, who’s that German hilly classics lad you lot were always banging on about, tiny lad I’ve forgotten his name, the man’s ban is up.

Pernsteiner no longer has the perfect body for a climber, but perhaps Lemmen or Niklas Larsen have brothers we haven't heard about yet. They might also be able to convince a Winter Olympic participant to switch sports when the games are over.

Heard Chris Froome is looking for a team also.
But he might be a tad too expensive for them though, a future Tour winner this young lad.

Nobody wants to ride for them , they have no idea how to train riders , they are micromanaged, and only gullible riders from lesser level/french teams (armirail, shiffer, fiorelli) are signing because any science is an improvement for them.

They've probably been round asking everyone, pernstenner, hugh carthy, lafay, venturini, bardet. Anton Palzser. Checking the UCI ban list for soon eligible riders etc. Getting turned down. I bet buchmann even chose cofidis over them.

The old stalwart kruijsvik will be leading the team aiming for a top 20 at the giro at this rate.

Free Patrik Sinkewitz!

 

[YavorD]

Free Patrik Sinkewitz!

I think he is quite free at the moment, isn't he?
It would be a very fitting signing as well. They need a leader for the Ardennes.
Remco and Pogi, beware!

 

[Pozzovivo]

Nordhagen top 3-5 in the UAE tour? Strong ITT for a small guy and very strong unipuerto climber. This could be his breakthrough year where he establishes himself as a super-talent. Him and Ben Tulett could upset Evenepoel and IDT - would be very funny.

Maybe top 10, and more than likely at the higher end of the top 10

 

[CyclistAbi]

They look rather relaxed and happy so i guess that is that. We'll see on how they perform during the season.

 

[Red Rick]

Ominous if Campenaerts wants to replace Heijboer

i expects his targets in the first half of the season to be late in the spring, so i think he will build slowly towards that. he was just supposed to be a helper here.

with the team schedule, i think its likely that he and graat will ride coppi e bartali before o gran camino and perhaps also romandie.

 

[Hugh Januss]

Okay, that was pretty funny!

Looks like being asked to participate in this was the moment that Simon yates decided enough was enough and retired on the spot.

 

[Berniece]

They are looking for a new namesponsor. Visma is staying onboard, but are willing to give the name sponsorship to someone else if this grows the budget. Since they don't want to pay more. Makes sense since they are being surpassed by UAE, RBH, LIDL, and Decathlon budget wise.

I suspect Rabobank will be the name of the team next year

 

[staubsauger]

Rabobank returns!?

Suddenly Yates exit is logical in context and riders left behind like Jonas Vingegaard are trying to improvise an immediate plan and come up with a future that doesn't look brutal. EF, NSN, Lotto, Intermerchie, few others all sending signals that finding money is getting harder. Guys like Brennan need to jump ship as soon as possible, older riders are left just to wait, Visma has 8 riders between @30-38 years old currently, who knows what multi year contracts are out there.
Lots of retirement announcements are coming

His spring schedule is UAE Tour, Catalunya and Romandie. Was supposed to learn from Vingegaard in the first two.
