'Provisionally suspended Miguel Angel López close to transfer to EOLO-Kometa'

‘Voorlopig geschorste Miguel Angel López dicht bij overstap naar EOLO-Kometa’

Het zou zomaar kunnen dat we Miguel Angel López volgend jaar weer in Europa zien koersen. De Colombiaan is voorlopig geschorst vanwege een mogelijke overtreding van de dopingregels, maar zou niettemin dicht bij een overstap zijn naar EOLO-Kometa. Dat meldt het Colombiaanse Antena 2. EOLO-Kometa...

Peak Italian PCT style. Could only be better if it was Androni.

 

[Anderis]

I just saw on PCS Logan Currie to Lotto Dstny.

How ironic.

Don't you mean he has disrupted his relationship with them?

 

[ManicJack]

How ironic.

How is that ironic?

 

[search]

did he sign with IPT? Can't find anything about it.

His new team hasn't announced it yet. Should be soon.

It doesn't necessarily require much to "justify a place in a top 6 /8 team"

I did more kilometres and more days of riding in a two week holiday than Tu did racing in this year as a professional.

Yeah but that is purely due to nationality. Same reason Astana are loaded up with many Kazakh riders that are barely continental level talents.

Remind me what country Palzer is from?

You just answered your own question, and Palzer is ok just to be a domestique anyways.

 

[Leadbelly]

Maybe not road retirement for Stybar just yet. He's mulling over an offer to continue at continental level and pass on his expertise to the youngsters there. The other option looks to be becoming a DS at WT level (with a team he hasn't ridden for).

Decision by the end of November.

So what is the Bahrain-Taiwan link?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

So what is the Bahrain-Taiwan link?

Merida is a Taiwanese company.

 

[Breh]

Chun Kai Feng was with the team for 8 seasons.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Same reason Sergio Tu was on Kern Pharma right?

My mistake, for some reason I thought he was Austrian.

I mean, he's Bavarian, so we're halfway there.

At one point even Ackermann assumed that he was Austrian.

Imagine Ackermann's confusion when Palzer showed up for the nationals in 2021.
(Hopefully he'd figured the truth before then.)

I think it came down to his dialect and being friends with many of the Austrians on the team.

Ackermann send him a text: "Wait, you're German? I always thought you were Austrian."
