Its a worry that allegedly Wiebes is receiving 400K when the currently best paid rider in the peleton AVV is receiving 250 to 300K - Of course AVV has thrid party deals and endorsements which pushes her wage closer to a million - BUT still a sprinter ( albeit clearly the fastest ) recieves more money than well rounded riders.

other teams offered a lot more money than movistar back then but she wanted a "challenge" with less good teammates.
Congratulations! You win the right to pat yourself on your back and say "I'm awesome!

Wow, now it looks like I had inside information.
Yeah... are you sure you don't secretly work for Uno-X?
Perhaps, but then it would have been kept so secretive that I don't even know about it. And I haven't been paid by neither the cycling teams nor the parent company.
It was always between Movistar and staying at Bike Exchange.

Nice signing by AG2R, seems to have some potential, won a stage at Valle d’Aosta and 2nd GC at Tour de Bretagne and Istrian Spring Trophy, with an accompanying stage win in each of those races.

Perhaps the thing be worried about is that there are too many sprints and that is giving too much visibility on the road to riders who belong to the track.
I see others has already responded to this about the results.
Could it be that he just likes being at FDJ though? That it is a good environment? There a lot of factors that goes into the decision if you are staying at a team or an employer, instead of going somewhere else simply for money. Now FDJ probably matched other offers, or they compromised enough, so he is being rewarded after a great season and they are happy to keep him. Everybody wins.
Going from a place where you are performing, you are treated good and you are valued is no easy decision. There are so many aspects to consider in life. I wouldnt say that shows "lack of ambition" at all. Especially since he is a leader for the team in a lot of races already. If it aint broke, dont fix it. Grass aint always greener and those sort of sayings.
Ambition can be a great force but is also something that can be insatiable for a lot of people, because most people in reality are just looking for fulfillment. Some are never satisfied, even how far they come and not happy at all because they never feel like they are being fulfilled or have any purpose.

Former World Champion Rui Costa joins IWG - Intermarché Wanty
Rui Costa will become the first Portuguese rider to defend the colors of Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux starting from 2023. The World Champion of Firenze 2013 races on the highest level for thirteen years already and will join a Belgian team for the first time in his career, after concluding...

There were rumours about it.
What's up with Wanty's budget. How much of an increase did they get lol. No way Rui Costa is cheap, even tho he hasn't performed in a long time.
And neither is Teunissen.

You could have looked real smart if you'd predicted that signing yesterday.
Sorry, I don't secretly work for Intermarche.
No, you clearly work for Rui Costa (or Rui Alberto Faria as he's probably called in Burgos this week).
Becky Storrie joins Le Col Wahoo, where she will become teammates with fellow Manx rider Elisabeth Holden, if she stays on the team.

Well if Jumbo have hired those two podcasters, I would not be one bit surprised if you were on a retainer from Uno-X women's team.
When I start to end all my posts with #development, then you know something's up.
I think Costa was cheap precisely because he's clearly on the downside of his career. His best days were nearly a decade ago.
Teunissen is a good pickup, at worst an excellent helper for Ghirmay, at best he makes the final of a bunch of minor one day races.
Yeah, I hope he manages to build this new team.
But I‘m always cautious also. Probably because I‘m still waiting for this new team said to be created by Ferretti - I heard he‘s in contact talks with Sony Ericsson, isn‘t he?…
Why have a bunch of different threads, when you can have a Great Big one
Just put me on ignore, and it'll probably fix most of the issue
Paul Double has moved to Human Powered Health with immediate effect and will ride for them until 2024.
Because I think that a good amount of people, me included, open this thread mostly to read about men's transfer rumours..
Samu Cuenca: Would never do such thing
I've heard some very reliable rumours about Piastri to Ineos. Might be something to keep an eye on.
