Translation: we want the money back we paid for Roglic
I don't know who is in the wrong here, but I can't imagine Jumbo just signed him without any sort of guarantee from his management that he got out of his contract.

I'd say it's a bit of a fail from Jumbo.
Maybe they should have cleared it before making the announcement.

Leaked merger too soon, leaked new sponsor too soon, now it seems they a leaked new transfer too soon.
Someone should put a plugge on their breaking news department.

Jumbo have previous form for signing a rider who hasn't been let go from his previous team, remember the Van Aert transfer saga? Such a scummy team.
That's just nonsense. They were offered a rider, who they got told was free of contract. They actually waited a long time to sign him, until the contract issues were resolved (according to the Van Aert camp at least). They even waited for confirmation by the UCI. Any other team would have operated exactly the same.
This scummy team could have held Roglic to his existing contract, like Bora are apparently doing now with Uijtdebroeks. You would have loved that, I assume?
He is young and there is still time to learn like Evenepoel seems to have, but unfortunately the boy has been acting like an absolute helmet for months now, completely capitulating after lets face it, a rather tepid battle for 8th with Alex Vlasov.
They will probably settle it, but the drama is entertaining.
He will ride for Visma.
He will ride for Visma.
At least something is happening in the off season. Well, if Cian is still under contract with Bora, then i feel that at minimum a compensation will need to be agreed upon by both parties. Without that in my opinion Cian won't be allowed to race for Visma in 2024. Maybe they could send van Aert to Bora for getting Cian.
We'll see.

Quintero, the winner of the Vuelta del Porvenir seems to be on his way to IPT Devo.

Somehow this does feel to me as a payback attempt, maybe turned into a pay back, to Bora for poaching Rogla. Anyway. We'll see how things will develop in the following seasons. Personally i don't like it when it's done like that. As in the end it really isn't beneficial to any party involved.

And what was the court ruling on the case again?
Also, the scummy part doesn't just refer to transfers, but also things like their handling of Roglic crashing into Wright or Plugge being thrown out of the Tour for abusing race staff.
Of course, if you want to hate you can always find things that you don't like. By the way it wasn't Plugge being thrown out of the Tour, and it wasn't for abusing the staff.
Anyway, Cian's management now says that his contract was terminated on December 1st.

Being a fan of jumbo is the biggest indicator of poor taste in cycling .

Only for people who have started to follow the sport somewhat recently - having been a Sky fan in the 2010s is clearly worse.

If Jumbo deliberately initiating a dogpile of abuse on another rider for an incident caused by their own rider counts as 'something I don't like' rather than something objectively wrong, I don't know where to start.
Also, there's no need to go searching for anything - Team Dutch Sociopaths in Management-firmenich aside, I can't think of a single team with a worse track record in recent years when it comes to being a******s.

I listened in radio Farodeportes that Quintero had several offers on the table. However, I am a bit surprised he ends up at IPT Devo honestly. Anyway, fair play to him!
I find it a bit hard to eveluate his potential. Obviously he won Vuelta del Porvenir were his GC triumph was foundated off an exellent TT preformance.
He was second on GC and won the queen-stage up the cat-1 climb to Santuario at Ruben Dario Gomez (in Riseralda).
He won 2 stage victories from sprints in Micro Vuelta al Valle, which talks for him beeing a very well rounded young prospect.
He also has pedegree on the track. Both in the IP and Points.Race!
His uncle Luis Carlos rode for Pony Malta BTW. In 1993, during the Vuelta de la Juventud, while wearing the leaders jersey for (Metas Volantes) he crashed dramaticaly in a corner during the last stage and almost lost his life. Today 30 years after he works as a civil enginere.
Anyways, I am actually exicted to see how Israel will further booster their fedder for next year.

I started following the sport before sky but I'm living in the moment, not in 2015.!
UAE?
Still, going from the Rabobank s***show to GC Kuss counts for something in my book.

Why would it be payback for poaching Roglic? Pretty sure Roglic wanted out and Jumbo were happy to let him go.
Jumbo want Uijtdebroeks for his talent and not as payback.
