I'm pretty sure there are no rule stating that rider agents - if one was to join the forum - are only ever allowed to post about rider transfers.

I agree with this, just like anyone can also post about the best Kimchi mayonnaise and you will still be sceptical and way off course.

It always made sense for the Holmgren twins to join a team like Trek, but that obviously didn't mean that it would actually happen. Sharp is of course a great addition, too. They've also signed a fourth promosing junior in Fleur Moors to the CX team, but we don't yet know whether she's going to ride for them on the road as well.

He is their ticket back to the WT.

Interesting news about the Holmgrens; I knew they've been mixing disciplines, but thought they were more off-road focussed. I'm hoping the MTB won't be dropped, but fear it will be, unless they join TFR for that, and Baloise-Trek for CX.

The difference is that the question of what's the best Kimchi mayonnaise doesn't really have a definitive answer, it's more a matter of personal taste.
Personally, I think it sounds discusting.

 

[StryderHells]

Wonder if he was injured this year. Or did Total not bother racing and farming ez points with him?

I’m curious about this as well, was he injured last season? He only had 28 race days in 2022 and 23 so far this season.

There is a definitive answer, and that's that no matter how much I may like Kimchi, ALL mayonnaise is a crime against food and should be condemned to the fiery pits of hell.

Completely understandable. Just imagine Brailsford learning that maybe their biggest GC prospect may leave and they are getting instead freaking Foss, Lafay, Verona and 33 year old George Bennett. It's bonkers.

Ineo & Soudal sharing the same hotel in Barcelona must be so awkward with the ongoing rumours.

Or Brailsford pauses transfers so Lefevere can pick them up on the cheap before announcing the rumoured merger. Money saved goes towards carlos.

This time, they're only promoting one rider...

I really like updates and I understand that tweets from all over the world are part of that. So can we please translate tweets 'from languages not being English'? Otherwise the whole purpose of posting the source is gone. Thankyou.

I like to imagine the signing of Foss was what woke Brailsford up from his Cryogenic chamber

Theyre doing WHAT!?

Signing Foss is one thing, but signing him for the money that he's asking for when he had one great day in 2 seasons (this season and the last one) is nuts.

With Schelling moving, Schachmann fading and Higuita a bit iffy, he could have a really nice calendar there?

This is sick. Jacob Hindsgaul just got fired from UnoX pro cycling Team. He took the record on the Coll de Rates from Jonas Vingegaard ! !

Since when did Hindsgaul get fired? I read this morning that Uno-X announced his contract won’t be renewed. Massive difference.

Hindsgaul's problem is that he, unlike Vingegaard, hasn't backed it up with performances in actual races, and Uno-X obviously can't wait keep waiting for them to occur, when they want to join the World Tour. Gregaard overplayed his hand and lost out on an extension, but I doubt Hindsgaul ever got an offer, Not everyone who's had promising results/numbers at a young age will make it to the top.

It's obviously not at all too late for him get a breakthrough, but for now it'll just have to happen at a different team.
