Doesn't EF always do this? They just don't announce till late. Mikhels is coming, Max Walker too and there is the Asgreen rumor.

No.

They may have often been late with announcing the last few spots on the team but they would've always had announced something earlier.

Last year they already confirmed Rafferty's signing in July and Healy's extension in June.

Carapaz in 2022 confirmed in August.

Rutsch in 2019 confirmed in June already.

Plenty of other examples, especially contract extensions with important riders would've often been announced before August.

Are we sure it's Danny?
Because Axel would actually make more sense.

I was hoping this when i first heard it when now that Wielerflits also brought it and they also say it's Danny I fear it's actually him. Its pretty simple Lotto is on fumes, they are completely broke. They can't even keep relatively cheap riders like Currie or Paasschens lmao and have to replace them with pay to ride riders. Who knows, maybe Axel is coming too, but haven't heard that yet.

Dunno what is going on at Ineos, but AG2R getting an English speaking DS seems like an indicator that they're moving away from being a French speaking team only.

Also a team with eventual GC aspirations, as they're hiring a guy who has been on five TdF winning teams.

I don't know if he's going to be a genius tactically (I expect he'll be quite conservative, given the team he's spent his entire career in) but as a person he seems really good to have around. Knows how to win, very professional, hard working etc.

It would have been warranted in this case, but I don't think there's any relation between the two. Mats's father is called Pascal, and René only seems to have an American daughter.

Could be aunt's cousin-third-removed's nephew's son or something like that.

But I still don't think it would have been warranted.
Just to be clear; not even someone being the child of Michael Rasmussen would make disliking them warranted.

I changed my mind. Just him being called Wenzel will turn me against him, whether or not there is a relation.
