Actually, I think Romain Bardet is just a third clone that went a bit wrong. C became B (the preceding letter in the alphabet), I became E (the preceding vowel) and S became T (the subsequent letter).

When Bardet was a neo-pro, I always thought about him as a misspelled Gadret.
If you're riding for INEOS, it's Ganna be Hart not to become Richie.
Apparently, what's going to be a successor of NTT is in talks with Simon Clarke, a bit surprising that EF hasn't re-signed him yet.
I didn't think Carlton would have made enough money to sponsor a whole team on his Eurosport salary?
Bad news for Ineos but I think they pay many guys way too much. Kwiato with reported 2,5 M € is just insane and they probably want to make a huge paycut because of Covid.
Israel is a good place for him since he has a very good relationship with Froome. He can also grab as much leadership as he wishes.
But money comes first if you are a professional rider.
@RedheadDane can
I can, indeed, imagine a lot of things.
That's a very good move from DQS and also a good fit for Cerny. He has been working hard and steadily improving during the last few years, the Czech really deserved this.
It's a shame CCC folded after having built a strong and competitive WT Team. As of now, only 5 riders have failed to secure a new WT/Prof team (Barta and Mareczko are staying at WT and PCT level, respectively)
Looking at how the 2020->2021 transfer markent went, it's not impossible to imagine that CCC could've signed both Majka and Kwiatkowski, which could give cycling additional media interest in Poland.
Sergio Henao now in talks with EF
who also sign Diego Camargo (current leader Tour Colombia)
who also sign Diego Camargo (current leader Tour Colombia)
Agreed. It would have been another step forward for the team.
I wonder which riders stay at Qhubeka - Assos and who the final signings are. The more talented and accomplished riders already left the team, with only the ageing Pozzovivo, Campenaerts and probably Nizzolo staying. Except from those, Gogl and Mader (if he stays, which is unlikely) i can't see any other riders capable of acheiving some results in their current roster. Not many riders left in the market, so at the moment it seems the team will be weaker than several PCT.

Would be decent options for much needed reinforcements for the mountains at EF.
This comes as a surprise to me. I thought he was done there.
