He's doing some monster rides in training but haven't heard anything about a possible transfer. Hopefully he will do some races with the national team. His career has been so unlucky thus far.

I'll say it once again, the UCI is such a bunch of **** for not allowing teams to sign more than the maximum amount of riders now that a decent amount of riders no longer has a job because of the Gazprom situation. Yet back in the day it wasn't a problem when Sky signed Dunbar (and rightfully so) when A B folded. From what I've heard even WT teams would be interested in picking up some of the riders, yet they can't.
Not to mention that they still haven't adressed the elephant in their own room, the whole Marakov situation...

Added to that, some teams are finding it hard to get enough numbers for races because of illness and injury this year,

The way the UCI is "handling" the Gazprom issue is really baffling. There were so many suggestions for the riders and staff to be able to continue to work and the UCI just completely ignores everything and stays silent.

The lack of willingness to do anything to help the riders (and staff members) who lost their job is what gets me.

The Italian NT is riding the Giro dell' Appennino, so I assume that we'll see most of the Italians from the team there.
Conci recently got signed by the Alpecin developmental team, so I assume that they'll send him to some races with the WT team too.

I meant to write UWT,
never the less the point system is screwed up and weighted towards easier one-day races.
We don't need all these Belgian and French teams to be WT, with no interest in performing in the races, but instead picking off easier competition.

Kukrle returned to Elkov, and Vacek has signed for Trek. According to Czech media he will race for them on from August, so (if true) there seems to be some kind of UCI rule exception at least. Normally he wouldn't be eligible for a stagiaire's role anymore.

only through media. Reportedly Vacek already signed a contract with trek for 2023 in 2020. Czech media then said that trek tried to sign him also for this season after the gazprom thing, but they are full (31 riders) and UCI ruled out an exception. UCI said that letting him ride as stagiaire later in the season is a good compromise, because PCT riders are not allowed to be stagiaires under normal circumstances.

If Piccolo is still without team at that point Cassani would be mad if he didn't sign him.

Yes, the team is rumoured to be launched next year with Ulissi and possibly Trentin as leaders.

I'm pretty sure I've read on Wielerflits that Ulissi is resigning with UAE and Trentin probably too, Lainderovic will know for sure

Article in Dutch about the new team, as mentioned earlier.News on the new Italian cycling team p/b Davide Cassani
Nieuw Italiaans profteam krijgt meer en meer vorm: "Hard aan het werk"
Oud-bondscoach Davide Cassani is nog altijd bezig met het in het leven roepen van een nieuwe wielerploeg.www.wielerkrant.be
Head sponsor: Coffé Borbone (coffee-brand)
Bikes: Bianchi
Riders so far: Ulissi - Fedeli & Trentin
The 1st 2 kinda make sense but I have a hard time believing Trentin would opt for a Proconti Italian team the coming years.

there's no official announcement yet (not sure it would even be allowed), but in an interview last month his brother said that Mathias has signed for a WT team on from 2023, and Czech media says it's a done deal with Trek

Can't see it here, but yesterday Israel Premier Tech annouced Mason Hollyman is stepping up to the WT team (whether they're WT next year is a different matter). He won a stage of the Volta Portugal last year and finished in the top five in Trofeo Piva and LBL U23 this year.
