It's not Kielich who's going pro, it's Jason Osborne. Finally, I must add. Well freaking deserved.

yes, but they have Plowright as #2. Missed him when I checked earlier onIsn't Osborne too old to count as a neo-pro?

Really pleased she's been able to establish herself as a road rider as that's been an obvious route for her for a few years now. As you say, pretty awful technically, but good power on the flat, and one of the best climbers in CX on a non-muddy course.Kastelijn's future is more likely to be on the road - and CX for fun/training; she's never been technically brilliant, but that doesn't matter on the road.
It's been quite the transformation over the last decade, and probably largely due to the success of Sky/Ineos? The increased publicity/profile of cycling in The UK, and showing young riders it's possible to make a, albeit short-lived, career in the sport.30 British riders in the WT next year, if Cav signs for Astana. Would have seemed impossible 12-15 years ago.
With his qualifications, he can probably earn more than minimum wage in a normal job. There's no need to continue with a team which doesn't value him anyway.
well, no, Wanty should have made an appropriate offer earlier on instead of hoping to keep him as a bargain.

they have signed 11 new riders for next season - admittedely most (apart from Costa and Teunissen) at low cost probably, but if they wanted to keep him, there surely was a chance. It's not like negotiations are likely to have started last week.What do you not understand about them literally not having the budget to give him more.
Also a minimum WT salary is still a pretty good salary for e normal human being and there is reason, it's called passion for cycling. Obviously if he has other options that can give him a Giro participation (like Q36.5) and give him more money, he should go for that immediately.

And no, I don't agree. Signing for much less than what you're worth has nothing to do with "passion".

but in the meanwhile strong rumours that he signed with Scott-Sram MTB for 2023, and Q36,5 will have Scott bikes too.
They probably should have told him from the start that they don't have the money to keep him, not offered him a minimum wage contract after signing some decent names.And let's not forget that his body has taken quite a lot of hits during his career. I definitely can't blame him, if he doesn't want to risk another major injury for just the minimum wage.
Weird if noone else was interested in Pozzo tbh.They probably should have told him from the start that they don't have the money to keep him, not offered him a minimum wage contract after signing some decent names.
He got them an 8th place on the gc st the Giro, top 10 on the gc in the Tour de Suisse and a top 3 in Emilia. Seems kinda ungrateful to me, make it clear from the start and everything's fine.
Imagine signing a washed up sprinter (without the Quickstep train/effect) instead of Quintana or Pozzovivo.Weird if noone else was interested in Pozzo tbh.
