They're really getting desperate

I like this transfer a lot though. Reliable point scorer and he'll settle for basically any schedule you'll give to him.

Just waiting for that Krijnsen pro with Q36.5 announcement.

Any day now...

Just to be clear; there has been no rumours, but it seems likely.

PCS are listing him as a Q36.5 stagiare from 1st Aug

Yes. And I'm expecting them to give him a full pro contract - from next year - any day now.

According to a Wielerflits interview, Krijnsen hasn't signed anywhere yet:

(gt)“I just haven't signed anywhere yet, so in that respect it was also a great week, haha! There was suddenly a lot of interest. After the finish of the Druivenkoers a few teams came to me, the team leader of Parkhotel had already had phone calls, myself and my manager too. He is busy with it, he says.”

"Several World and ProTeams have expressed their interest. I am happy that I have not yet said yes to anyone. I now have good cards in my pocket. I would also like to put Friesland on the map at international level."

Jelte Krijnsen kan binnen een jaar van clubteam naar WorldTour: “De vraag is wat ik wil”

Interview Als stagiair een rit winnen is maar weinigen gegeven. Zeker niet als het je eerste koers is in een nieuw tenue. Maar Jelte Krijnsen deed het. De 23-jarige Fries uit Bolsward was vrijdag de beste in de Druivenkoers in Overijse. Het was zijn tweede profzege in een week tijd, nadat hij...

I believe he won at least one race every single year of his very long career.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

By PCS points, the two most successful Frisian cyclists ever are Pieter Weening and Lieuwe Westra. So, yeah, could do with a happier story...

Yep, that's 15 straight seasons.
One more than Kristoff.

Both had a strong start of the season, particularly in those small Spanish races. Good to see someone remembered

Huge loss for Uno-X. They should have tied him down on a new contract a long time ago.

Surprised EF haven’t picked up Stites. Any clinic issues or clashes with Vaughters?

EF haven't brought in a decent US talent from the U23 ranks or conti-scene since Andrew Talansky. Doesn't look like they're heavily scouting the US domestic scene.

He is a bit of a fraud really with a talent for self promotion and false pretences of EF being a small renegade team trying to mix it with the big boys.

There was a split second i read that as "Hugo Boss for Uno-X".

Well, they do need an extra shirt sponsor...

Then they'd just need to get a Swede, and they'll have a full "Scandi Set".

Don't think Hanninen has a contract for next year (yet)

He's not Scandinavian. You're getting it confused with the Nordic Countries.
Scandinavia = Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
Nordics = same as above + Finland and Iceland. However, getting a full Nordic set might be more complicated, as Icelandic pro cyclists aren't exactly hanging in the trees...

But according to his Wiki bio, tree climbing is not one of the sports he does, so RhD was indeed right.

My middle school geography teacher is so dissapointed in me right now.
And this is coming from the guy who correctly answered the quiz-question: "what's the difference between a tundra and a taiga?" yesterday.
