Teams & Riders The Great Big Cycling Transfers, Extensions, and Rumours Thread

[Red Rick]

anyone know where Terpstra is headed for 2022? Somehow i had the strange thought today that he might end up at Astana as well? (no source, just speculation)

He said after PR he was talking to a team but nothing was definitive yet.

 

[Red Rick]

I've seen people that normally knows what they're talking about mentioning Poels going to Jumbo.

That wouldn't make any sense to me. He's basically old washed up Kuss and no other real qualities. On his good day he's the 20th best climber in the race. Such sort of riders are not very good when they decline.

Also he's not from the old Rabo team.

I'm sure I saw somewhere that Sagan had asked the team to keep him around as part of their Classics team

That's a bit too harsh for a guy who was 6th at Vuelta just a year ago while doing a very good 2021 TdF.

I would prefer Poels over Kruijswijk who is not a dependable domestique and is better leading / co-leading Giro Squad.

Agree that Kruijswijk is increasingly erratic when it comes to form and reliability as a domestique. But replacing him with an even more erratic Poels surely isn't the answer.

Are there any rumours about Ilan Van Wilder?

 

[Tobi]

I really think it would have been intersting if Fuglsang had signed with Uno X even though it was very unlikely to happen.

Another WT Export from Uno-X...

I would never have thought Price-Pejtersen would move to Bahrain.
I hope he proves me wrong, but I just don't see him turning into a great rider, cause he seems to be too limited.

Let's hope for Price-Pejtersens sake that Bahrain have a better TT setup than when Dennis had his rage quit...

No to veer into Clinic, but Lulu’s team choices sure have a red thread running through them.

Dissapointed that Astana dont steal Movistars signing thunder by announcing their own signing.

I would never have thought Price-Pejtersen would move to Bahrain.

That one definitely took me by surprise. Mainly because it's no longer ago than the World's he stated he was going to uphold his contract with Uno-X.

And, as a plus, he also has a cool name.

The rumor has been going around for some weeks. He shares with Avancini all the KOM's near me.

And it's only 2 days since Uno-X retweeted this...

He wasn't going to wear if after the Danish nationals this weekend anyway. Unless he goes clubbing in it, as I've heard Würtz did at least once.

He could also do a lot of training on his TT bike over the winter.

Until December 31st he can, but after that he should never wear it again.

Fernando Barceló to Caja Rural is potentially interesting. He looked like the next Spanish wonderkid a few years ago, getting that result at the Vuelta a Asturias (3rd on Acebo behind Quintana and Balarcón) and being under Contador's wing, but stagnated badly first at Euskadi-Murias and then at Cofidis. He's still only 24, so although he has a bit of a stench of reclamation project about him, if he can show a bit more of what he showed back then there's still time for him to turn into a reasonable top tier rider, if not the rider he was originally projected to become.

They've likely been watching him for several years as Valverde brought him to Europe through his amateur team.
