+2 talents and new good riders.
This reinforces my previous points that BORA will lack mountain support for 2 leaders should Lopez join there.Muhlberger for 3 year to Movistar.
He probably wants a new contract and Astana is not offering the money he's after.
According to Vinokurov, the team's budget does not allow them to continue working with Lopez. The last race for Lopez as part of Astana will be the Giro.
Vinokurov also said: "Remember that in the Tour de France Lopez was unable to maintain the third place overall that the team relied on."
Maybe Astana is looking for another guy or they will focus on the young Vlasov?
The have signed Piccolo for the next season, but if he becomes a gc rider it's probably gonna take a few seasons. Maybe they have high expectations for Tejada.That would be a safer bet. Yes, sorry I've never done it and I won't do it again.
I totally forgot Vlasov who looks to be a really interesting prospect for GTs or to snag a few mountains stages at least. But Fuglsang's not so young anymore, that would be surprising if they don't have anyone else in mind.
I didn't either but Movistar seem to have a strategy on the transfer market where you are pretty sure to sign for them if you have a nationality shared with no of their current riders.
Lutsenko to Movistar?

By my - not very reliable - calculations, they'll be looking for a either Dutchman or a Norwegian next. Or maybe a Swede; doubling the number of Swedes on the WorldTour.
Didn´t see that coming..
I think Lutsenko - or whoever the best Kazakh rider is at any given time - leaving Astana would be the surprise of the century. Then again... this is a strange year.
If I'm correct Lutsenko hasn't signed with Astana yet and did not even receive an offer from them (yet). That doesn't necessarily mean he's leaving.Apparently Lutsenko isn't staying at Astana either (as posted on Twitter by @cyclingtimenews)
If Astana is letting both Superman and Lutsenko go (let's be real, by far the best Kazakh rider since Vino) they must be in big financial trouble. I doubt Lutsenko is expecting a massive salary?
That's quite a nice budget. Now that they got rid of Bardet, they should sign interesting prospects. They signed Jungels already but anyone else in the GC department?Gazzetta now reports that Miguel Angel López might be headed to AG2R-Citroen...
Quite the busy transfer window for AG2R but with the arrival of Citroen their budget reportedly increases to about 23 M €/yr.
