Patrcik Gamper and Maximilian Schachman ( Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) to Jayco AlUla:

Maximilian Schachmann vertrekt bij Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe

Maximilian Schachmann is bezig aan zijn laatste maanden in dienst van Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe. Dat heeft teammanager Ralph Denk bevestigd. De 29-jarige Schachmann komt al sinds 2019 uit voor de Duitse formatie. “Max is aan verandering toe”, geeft Denk aan. De Duitse coureur reed in de eerste...

that he first proves that he can be consistent

The dude's worst GT finish is fourth?
Bar this Tour where he got sick

I can't see Movistar being able to afford Ayuso. Ineos, Bora or Trek all make a lot of sense.

I can't see Movistar being able to afford Ayuso. Ineos, Bora or Trek all make a lot of sense.

Given that they were unable to make a financially competitive offer for Lazkano (or refused to, which I would not understand) and were outbid for Carlos Rodriguez last year, I would have to agree with you. I would love the move but Movistar is certainly not going to be the highest bidder, just maybe the most attractive one from a leadership standpoint. Mas seems best suited to just focus on the Vuelta and the Giro has been admirably occupied by Einer Rubio, which leaves the Tour without anyone to really lead the team.

Denk confirmed in a podcast that Schachmann will leave Red Bull at the end of the year.

So, soon all the main German riders have left Bora. And not much sucess of any of them the later years.

There's gonna be no mann left!

Some rumours circulating that Ayuso is leaving, makes sense, Movistar perhaps?

Four years on his contract left. We can rule out Movistar.

Can’t see him leaving. He would need to be bought out of his contract.

But also can’t see Ayuso at the Tour again anytime soon for UAE.

They really need to try and get hold of Gathemann.






(Of course they lost Riedmann in the worst possible way...)

I'm calling it now: super villain for the new Chinese financed Astana team.
Would fit like a glove.

Urska Zigart to AG Insurance.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Urska Zigart to AG Insurance.

Let's hope that will be a good fit for her. She could be getting more leadership opportunities, but with only four of their current riders with confirmed contracts for next season, there could also be other strong signings on their way to the team.

Urska Zigart to AG Insurance.

She did not live up to expectations at Jayco, however, its disappointing that Jayco who are building up a decent climbing squad are losing a climber. I expect Zigart to be a domestic at AG Insurance, as she too many deficiencies in her skill set to be a GC rider.

Jim Radcliffe is the biggest fraud in the country at the moment, in a packed field.

Lets hope he tanks united too, the signs are looking promising.

 

[Samamba]

Doing transfers like they are a mid tier team.

Don't get me wrong Langelotti deserves a shot in the WT, but Ineos come on man.

Not particularly a fan of Ratcliffe, but intrigued why you think he is a fraud.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Not particularly a fan of Ratcliffe, but intrigued why you think he is a fraud.

Fraud purely based on his sporting ventures, Nice, Ineos, Mercedes have all noticeably regressed since he took over. The jury is still out on United but I will say it isn't looking good, having just signed an 18 year old centre back for 60-70 million when others wouldn't pay over 25. Aside from that, his self-styled imaged as a patriot is in sharp contrast to his employment practices, moving jobs out of Britain due to policies he himself explicitly endorsed and wasting no time in dramatically slashing the rank and file at united.

Won't go too political as I don't fancy a ban but he's always struck me as part of the Tim Martin/James Dyson style disaster capital lot who pretend to be men of the people but only care about lining their own pockets. I'm sure the guy is considered a genius in the petrochemicals industry like.

Damn, more of these transfers and I might have to start liking them.

I'm still not sure what sort of rider Blanka Vas is; she's good in three disciplines, but not consistently, despite the odd decent result in all of them. She can peak for one off events, as seen in the Olympics and Worlds.....
