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

[staubsauger]

I mean, this move is as close to an official confirmation that Bouhanni won't be staying with Arkéa as you could possibly get.

At this point of his life a simple "It's not all your fault!" precisely from Demare might actually be quite helpful for Bouhanni!

A transfer which happened a bit below the radar happened on july 16th, the young dutch rider Franck van den Broek left ABloc and joined DSM Devo team with immediate effect.

He won the Ronde de L'Oise GC as well as the last stage where he was really impressive while attacking on the local hilly circuit in the second to last lap, he dropped thee other attackers and held of the bunch during the last local lap, with St Michel and Bingoal Devo chaisng for the bunch sprint and a final attack by Alexis Gougeard riding for VC Rouenwho wasn't able to catch him back.

I was there at the finish with some friends and we all said that he wouldn't stay at Abloc ;-)

He went with Abloc to the Tour of Qinghai Lake and took a stage win as well.

He joined DSM devo team on july 16th and rode the Tour d'Alsace immediately in which he won the last stage and ended 3rd in GC... and ended 8th on Planche des Belles Filles).

Torstein Træen has been confirmed to leave Uno-X but i havent seen a confirmation of his new team. Lately he’s been heavily linked with AG2R, Bora and Bahrain, so I assume one of them.

Tom Schellekens to Jumbo. That's mtb rider number three after Vader and Hoydahl.

 

[RedheadDane]

Jan CHRISTEN to UAE. With immediate effect.

Am I right in guessing they can only do that because Polanc retired earlier in the year? Otherwise they'd have been too many.
So, Jan replaces Jan.

 

[Squire]

Maybe Bouhanni himself doesn't have the motivation to come back after his dramatic crash in Turkey? He looked fully back on track in 2021. But after his injuries it just looks as if he has given up a bit.

Will not be surprised to see him retire before too long. Been super unlucky in the past few years. He has still shown in brief glimpses that he still has it.

 

[Braaah]

Demare to Arkea with immediate effect as well.

I thought you were supposed to just announce it as

"ARNAUD"

Kern Pharma confirm Igor Arrieta is leaving at the end of the year. Movistar had made sense, but then his father is no longer DS there, so who knows where he is off to really

Reminder: You are allowed to steal a thing!




No you're not.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Martin Pedersen is the new Dennis Vanendert.

 

[Anderis]

UAE it is said.

How does UAE have any places left in their team, it feels like every second rider goes there.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Christen was unofficially on their books a while ago; he was on the Pogi team, and did a training camp with UAE before the 2022 CX Worlds....and I'm sure he then signed a pre-contract for them. He signed a short contract with HagensAxeons this year with the understanding he'd move to UAE later this year.
I wonder if that means he'll drop the MTB & CX disciplines.....I hope not.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ponomar has left Arkéa, and it sounds like he'll be signing with an Italian based team.

New Holland would be more appropriate.

Still eternal idol!
