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

[Roku]

Rota rumoured to have extended.

Apart from that only one big name that has circulated, and that's Guillaume Martin. But I don't know how believable that rumour is/was. Arkea is being named for him too.

Wanty likes to reunite with former succesful riders, so it would make sense.

Lotto won't have a team left if it keeps going like this. De Lie must be regretting his extension already.

Meh, Beullens is evolving into the second coming of Frederik Frison and De Buyst is one of the best lead-outs there is. If they extend guys like Slock, Livyns and Currie that's a very decent team they can built around him for the classics. Of course it's no QS or UAE but hey, they have half the budget (if it's even that)

Mick en Tim van Dijke speerpunt in voorjaarskern nieuwe superploeg

Mick en Tim van Dijke vertrekken aan het einde van dit jaar bij Visma | Lease a Bike. Het Nederlandse WorldTeam deed wel een aanbod aan de Zeeuwse tweelingbroers, maar dat kon financieel niet opboksen tegen dat van andere formaties. Vanaf volgend seizoen rijden de Van Dijke’s voor Red...

The writing was on the wall when Dani Martinez came in last transfer season, they got a replacement (who overperformed in a gt) one year in advance.

Well…and the last two years where a disaster when it come to his results.

With Oryns and maybe de Schuytteneer that will be restablished a bit...

Not really, thinking you can expect two neopros (one of them being 19y old) play a significant role in the WT is a big mistake.

not significant of course but what significant role did play Campenaerts and Eenkhoorn?

They are able to do more racedays if necessary (and it will be when Lotto is a WT team), they were the only 2 guys left with Van Gils after Cipressa, Campenaerts even tho he was disappointing in the classics was still around 30th in Flanders, if he had a leader he would be useful (there's a reason why Visma wants him ofcourse). It wasn't really significant this year cause both leaders were out but obviously you can expect more from them than from some neopros there.

Losing them isn't really a problem, not being able to replace them cause you can't do transfers is.

Sporza seems to confirm that De Schuytteneer will be pro next year

Lotto-Dstny-talent Steffen De Schuyteneer sprint naar 2e Belgische ritzege in Giro voor beloften | sporza

België boven in de Giro Next Gen. 2 dagen na het nummertje van Jarno Widar (Lotto-Dstny) heeft zijn ploegmakker Steffen De Schuyteneer ook zijn ritzege te pakken. Onze 19-jarige landgenoot was de snelste in een massasprint. Widar blijft in het roze.

Martin should go to Arkea so he can dom for Vauquelin. He's fallen off a bit in recent years, maybe from racing too many days or just age. Not sure he and Meintjes move the needle for Intermarche.

I think this is the only year he has slightly regressed, but no one is really performing in Cofidis apart from Zingle. That team is a complete mess.

He will move the needle if he is able to bring in +1,000 UCI points. If anything, they should consider the opportunity cost.

Possibly the only way that Team Vini Monzon - Savini Due - OMZ were ever going to get their name in these pages.

Its a bit weird how Romania seems to have an ever increasing amount of representation at the conti level.
