Dion Smith returns to IWG - Intermarché Circus Wanty
The New Zealander Dion Smith, who rode for Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux in 2017 and 2018, signed a contract with the Walloon team for the next two seasons. The polkadot jersey wearer in the Tour de France 2018, for three days, became the first New Zealander to wear a distinctive jersey at...

Should fit in well where he could be used as the third rider in a one day race - Bike Exchange lost faith in him in the last two years which was reflected in him being given an unsuitable program.

As I, and others, said at the time this move was rumoured, you'd have to think Ineos will need to change their schedule to keep some of their recent recruits happy. Otherwise, the likes of Swift and Turner will have very little to race for by the end of April. Whatever happens, they're going to have by far the best young classics squad next year. Real change of focus in the last couple of years.

Giovanni Carboni somehow manages to have sneaked onto the Okolo Slovensko startlist riding for Kern Pharma, which is a little unexpected.

They signed him a few days ago. I don't know why it took him so long to find a new team, but it's obviously easier to find the money to pay him for two months rather than four or six.

Not bad, I saw him as pretty talented in the u23 ranks. Will be interesting to see if he can do anything relevant on a team that isn't the talent devouring monster that is modern day Bardian. Guys like him in the past and Zana usually peak right after riding the Giro and not for the race, because nobody on that team knows what he's doingG.
A few examples, In 2021 Carboni's best results came in the NC RR (6th) Adriatica-Ionica race (4th overall) and in Slovenia (8th overall), right after riding the Giro. No races for him after the Giro in 2020, but in 2019 he finished 6th in the GP Lugano and in Occitanie (ahead of Dombrowski and Sivakov). Zana's results in the last 2 years also follow the same pattern.

interesting. His calendar the past year actually looks almost perfect for someone with his abilities to me, just lacking results.

With Carapaz leaving, Thomas getting older and Adam Yates still being in limbo he could still be their Giro leader/co-leader next year and maybe even more in the future, if he performs well. Not to mention the Ineos money.
Palzer gets a contract extension from Bora.

And Bernal is still an unknown. He might not get back to his previous level and if he does, I doubt will see it in 2023.

Last year it was rumoured that Aaron Gate would join iNEOS because of the Pinarello connection, but that transfer might have broken down when they signed Viviani. It also seemed a bit weird at the time, but with the season he's had this year in mind, could it still happen?

Depends on whether Ineos wants to slowly build him towards the Vuelta a Espana or wants to rush Bernal into the Giro d'Italia already.
Anyway Co-leadership with Arensman in Italy wouldn't be too bad off an idea then.
Maybe Arensman goes to the Giro d'Italia with Geoghegan Hart tough.

This is absolutely right. There are four teams ahead of the rest. Three have their GT leaders locked in -Pogacar, Vingegaard (Roglic reserve) and Evenepoel. The fourth is up for grabs. Thomas is in possession but has maybe one good year left, the presumed leader is coming of a big injury. It's all up for grabs.

Black Spoke want to go pro conti next season and I think Gate will stay.

As was it was rumoured earlier in the year, Fem van Empel will join Jumbo-Visma next season. She'll ride CX for Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal until December 31st. They have also signed five other new riders, who haven't been announced yet.

And DSM have signed Patrick Bevin (2025) and Harm Vanhoucke (2024).

Pretty decent DSM-signings, hope Vanhoucke will be able to realize more of his potential with a change of scenery. Never really been able to deliver on the promise he showed as an U23-rider, especially in 2017.

He said some interesting things to HNB about the transfer, basically confirming my thoughts. He needs more discipline and a stricter regime, a team that shows him exactly what to do when and where. Lotto is the ideal team for guys who usually know what they need to do to be good, but not the best for riders who have no clue. So he needed to try something different. He particularly likes the fact that DSM does 2 team trainingcamps before a GT. Lotto is more about racing a lot, DSM about peaking to one event. I agree, although I do think that it didn't help that he needed to race a lot because of the point situation, meaning less time for pure training. DSM might be in the same sitation in a few years.

It would be good to see him get his stuff together, definitely talented enough to be a good stage hunter in stage races. DSM will either be incredibly good or the obverse of that.
Looks like nice deal for Patrick Bevan a three year deal at DSM.

Why? In order to face Vingo & Jumbo, Pogacar needs:
- Reliable Top-End Support in High Mountains.
- A powerhorse for flat stages with excellent positioning ability.
At least with this recruitment they are addressing one of the two needs.
