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

[Ilmaestro99]

Having one Rodriguez = Good.
Having two = Even better!

Or that we don't get a situation like the 2020 Vuelta ever again. The morning of stage 12 would have been a confusing mess if contracts ran from Nov 1st to Oct 31st. Though, it that case they would probably have been extended to the race had concluded.

Can you please actually post the transfer and details on it rather than just a random pic that could mean anything .

Trust me, they are not. Ashlin Barry is the biggest thing to come out of NA since ... I don't know.

I don't know enough about Barry, but not sold too heavily on Hincapie.

Enzo Hincapie is 15, pretty sure he's not even gonna be a Junior next year!
Can't find any information about Ashlin Barry, is he Michael Barry's 12-year-old son?

last week they were still starting to hire new staff for 2024. Must have really happened at short notice then.

edit: yes, indeed

Unfortunately, if you're not logged in on Twitter X, the posts just appear in a random order, and usually all the important information is on the picture anyway. But, in this case I was able to locate the relevant post:

Ashlin Barry is the son of Michael Barry, which makes question marks regarding his development validated, as he might have access to high level training equipment and such. However, this is speculation. Purely speaking about what we can see, this is a rider who is doing things we have never seen before at that age. He used to pummel AJ August, for instance. He came to Europe for the first time this year, and beat down everyone in l'Ain and Belgium. Will be a first year junior next season.

In other EF news, Neilson Powless signs a new four year contract to the end of 2027:

I know who he is and what he has accomplished. Don't know enough about his power growth curve to have a guess of his capabilities as a 19 yr old.

Hope Vaughters has his secondary sponsors battened down, that's two of the three original EF sponsored teams gone to to leave JV teams and a new EF womens team.

Anyone know why Hess cycling are relocating to Britain ? I can't see the angle they're playing yet, except maybe a guaranteed invite to Ride London

It says in the article that the Hess guy is based in London, so I assume that's the reason. If you want to get into international media, you're probably also better being based in the UK rather than Luxembourg.

Cool, more young blood to watch develop.

After renewing their core (leaving are veterans Navarro, Madrazo and Ezquerra, the latter linked to a WT team -possibly Astaná-), Burgos is expected to announce the signings of Aaron Gate and George Jackson today. Both are considered to be certain to have signed for next year.

Edit: They've just been announced.

True, that would have been even worse.

Marco Brenner (DSM) to Tudor.

Marco Brenner verlaat Team DSM voor nieuw avontuur bij Tudor

Marco Brenner vertrekt na drie jaar bij Team dsm-firmenich. De jonge Duitser kan niet rekenen op een contractverlenging bij het Nederlandse WorldTeam. Verschillende bronnen bevestigen aan WielerFlits dat hij de overstap maakt naar Tudor Pro Cycling. Brenner behoorde in zijn juniorentijd tot de...

As a team though is that still the case?, the current 3 proconti level Brit teams arent that well known outside the British scene, maybe Awol O Shea is as didnt they spring out as an offshoot from Liv ?

But there are precious few UK races left to showcase themselves,to get the invites theyll need and the majority of races they'll want to be in will be in Europe.

Plus you've got all the currency conversion pain.

Ineos are only based in the UK because Sky initially setup as a pseudo British Cycling trade team.

It will be interesting to see how it develops, I just can't fathom the why part yet or who benefits from it. Which makes me question the strength of what they're doing given how precarious most teams seem to be.

George Jackson to Burgos is a very intriguing transfer.

For now it's just a bit of a weird team. We'll see whether they will stay around for a while like the Contreras family's Cogeas/Roland team or if it'll end in another disaster.

Gianluca Pollefliet Lotto Dstny devo to AG2R getting more concrete

“Ik heb een heel mooi voorstel gekregen”: Wordt Gianluca Pollefliet ploegmakker van Stan Dewulf en Oliver Naesen bij AG2R-Citroën?

Het gerucht doet de ronde dat Gianluca Pollefliet het continentale Lotto Dstny Devo Team verlaat en volgend seizoen aan de zijde van Stan Dewulf en Oliver Naesen zijn profdebuut maakt bij het Franse WorldTour-team AG2R-Citroën. Pollefiet bevestigt het niet, maar ontkent het ook niet.

Nairo Quintana returns to Movistar.

He will fight for the win at Tour 2024.

Nairo Quintana returns to Movistar.

[Tim Cahill]

There are big rumours about Nairo tonight, but there has been a lot of crying wolf this season.

Anyone know if El Pais is reliable?

Edit:

https://twitter.com/x/status/1718041967689388230

According to El País, Nairo Quintana signs for one year for Movistar Team. The negotiation began in the Andorra stage of the last Vuelta a España.

Statements by Eusebio Unzué “From a more selfish perspective, I have to say that Nairo is a great reinforcement. He is only 33 years old and he is in shape, I know, because he has not stopped training in Andorra, where he lives with his entire family and where he maintains a great relationship with Enric Mas, the team leader.”“Obviously, he will work for our leader, Mas, in the grand tours, but he will have the opportunity to show that he is still a winner in other races”
