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

[RedheadDane]

are you allowed to post if its not properly like the team announces it??

Of course you're allowed to post rumours. Anything that doesn't have an announcement from either team or rider is a rumour. Sometimes, rumours turn out to be true, but not always.

Is your problem that you don't know how to post pictures?

Tiffany Cromwell hasnt re-signed yet, nor has Paladin, Roy, Morrice, Rooijakkers even with the currently suspended Shari Bossuyt, theyve only got 10 riders announced for 2024 so far.

they can promote a couple from generation, and there will be the Zwift winner, but still feels like they need to sign someone...soon.

I know how things look on paper, but that doesn't mean they actually have a free spot. However they're probably not extending with all the riders, so unless they have some yet unannounced contracts, there is of course room to sign Włodarczyk.

They seemed to (re-)sign riders quite late last year from what I remember.

And here you go, how to properly post that a team has announced a new signing:

Amazing, thank you for showing and teaching everyone how it is done.

I don't see why not, not sure why it's an issue if you don't, it's not like people are claiming completely made up rumours as fact.

But whatever, as the cool kids say.

Thanks, good to have this info.

Correct info doesn't need pictures, those come later by others.

Sure, sometimes rumours get confirmed.
And sometimes people see an announcement from a team, and instead of posting a link to an article, or a snazzy SoMe picture, they just post a bit of text.

 

[Movitrain]

That leaves me wondering what exactly Movistar's plans are going into 2024. They are - as per usual - late on announcing any signings or extensions, but so far the rumors that surrounded the 2024 squad sounded like they were looking to complement a potential Mas/Rodriguez double header. Now that that isn't happening, are we really again going to put all the GC eggs into Mas' basket? And if no, what other options are there even left?

Zoe Bäckstedt joins her father at Canyon SARAM with immediate effect in order to be able to represent them in CX as well.

So the rumour of Robeet joining Cofidis was right. He's an excellent singing. Big engine/workhorse. And an addition to their classics squad.

Quick! Before RhD sees it!!

 

[Lexman]

Cofidis signed as well :
Nicolas Debeaumarché (25) from St Michel
Nolann Mahoudo (20) CIC U Nantes Atlantique

At St Michel you have two other youngsters worth picking up Delbove and Guichenard...

Gone the dad route, I was not sure if she would go dad, sister or avoid them both.

Too late!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I was quite sure she wouldn't be joining her sister, cause otherwise she most likely would have done it last year. Trek's road and CX teams also seem to be at capacity already.

 

[awavey]

Makes sense to me, I did highlight Canyon SRAM had space to sign riders thinking maybe people would get the hint

I'm not sure how much role Magnus will have with her as DS, above what he already does as a parent and guider to navigate pro cyclings pitfalls, whichever team she rides for, it's not a case of oh she's just going to ride for Dad for an easy time and he won't bawl her out if she needs it, she's pretty switched on for what she needs to do to succeed at this, and the decision is based on what CanyonSRAM can offer that other teams in the pro tour can't.

the press release which even includes a nice quote from Linda, you don't often see the riders losing team quoted like that, though its a bit of a special situation obviously, but it does kind of make the point its Ronnys team, Magnus isn't quoted.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

I suspect Magnus will have more of a 'hands on' role during the CX season.......handing bikes over, jet washing them, etc
I don't think CanyonSRAM have had a CX rider since PFP a few years ago.

 

[Anderis]

Cofidis signed as well :
Nicolas Debeaumarché (25) from St Michel

I'm salty that Debeaumarche hasn't ended up at Intermarche.

I've heard Lefevere is building a new team around Patrik Sinkewitz. Maybe they'll sign Jegat, Schiffer and Sainbayar?

I know they wanted to hire Girmay, but he was too blind to sign the contract.
