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

The youngest rider in WT history?

18 years and 1 day at the start of his contract.

She'll probably be the youngest on a WT contract. Zoe Bäckstedt was only 17 when she became a stagiaire at EF-TIBCO-SVB, but she obviously couldn't ride WWT races (she couldn't have done it before her 18th birthday anyway).

His? Unbeatable record though

Damn, I saw "Movistar" and didn't realise it was women's team.

And I was confused by a post I saw on another forum that also got the gender wrong.

His? Unbeatable record though

Is it now I should say that she has lived five leap years and it is possible to only have had four by age 18?

 

[Berniece]

His own team was negative about him with his DS saying it was a mental thing and they expected better.

After the race?

 

[Samamba]

After the race?

Last stage if I remember correctly (when he DNF'ed). Couldv'e been day before that too.

Didn't take jayxo long to annonce their simon Yates replacement then. Can't wait for Paul doubble ripping up the Spanish 1.1s

 

[ppanther92]

How can you say Uijtdebroeks stopped improving? We haven’t had the opportunity to see this yet since he was sick in the Giro. This is like people saying Evenepoel wasn’t GT material and then being surprised he finishes 3rd in the TDF.

Which was anzway true until he was willing to become Slimco (again)

It's also possible to only have had three.

True but that'll take a while.

Vermote renews with Visma for one year.

Boumann moves to Jayco. An interesting signing as he can achieve good results if given opportunities.

 

[Tim Cahill]

2025 Alberto Bettiol is about to drop the most Italian 1.1 schedule you've ever seen in your life, get ready for altitude camps to win Memorial Marco Pantani. I hope his Mandarin is up to scratch too because I've never seen a man more Guangxi-bound.

Bora because they don’t know what to do with that Red Bull money as long as they can’t get a TDF winner?

Tudor, along with Hirschi.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Tudor, along with Hirschi.

Well, a lot of article are suggesting that, and that Cancellara hopes to make it a done deal. I would like to see him in a different team, partly because I don’t think it’s a great fit to be in the same team as Hirschi - as I believe they are too similar as riders and should target the same races, and because I don’t want Tudor to take Uno-X spot in the Tour
My hope is that Alaphilippes sponsorship with Richard Mille makes it hard to sort out a deal with Tudor and then let’s see if Total can come up with a huge contract offer.

 

[Statze2]

Hirschi to Tudor confirmed by the team. I like this transfer a lot. Its good for cycling! Now you have a serious contender for medium heavy one day races and for medium heavy one week stage races who is not riding for one of the big teams. That will spice things up and tudor rode very offensive this year, great to see

I think this is the wrong move for him.. 90% of his wins in UAE came from having multiple team members in the final.

Strong rider from August to October, not so good from January to June.
