Pretty weird so I have no idea if it's correct but according to PCS ChinAstana demoted Syritsa to their devo team to get a Chinese rider in...

EDIT: it's actually true. Demanded by the Chinese, and they couldn't demote Kuzmin (cause the Kazachs are also still sponsoring).

What's even the point? He's not gonna generate a lot of press by finishing way down in a few lower-level races. Did the Bahraini guy make any difference for TBV? While Syritsa on the other hand could actually contribute to Astana's fight for WT status. Sure, he can still do races with the main team, but those points would count for the devo team if I understand correctly.

Surprising they didn't see that coming before they finalized their squad.

Also what's the deal with Haoyu Su that he's the one chosen to be in the WT team? A quick look at PCS suggests there are better Chinese riders in the team he rode for in 2024.

I wonder if they consulted with Janse van Rensberg? He'd know a bit about all of them. Possibly looking for a domestique instead of a winner?

I never said they offered a WT contract.

Correct, but I never said you did. I just added some info to say what the correct deal and offer was with Donnie as RB did not try get him, they did not have him at all on the list to sign until management of Jarno and Donnie offered Donnie where you had mentioned they also went after him.

I had wondered where Londoño would ride next season, but I definitely didn't think she would go to a WWT team when it hadn't been announced sooner.

I posted months ago that Ewan has gone AWOL. I can't get to the bottom of the situation.

Friebe has alluded that he might be off to INEOS. They do have room with only 27 riders but that doesn't seem like the best fit neither for team nor rider...

Don't think there is any perfect fit for Ewan, however, Ineos is a reasonable option. Can say he needs to change his training methods.

What would be a good fit for the rider? You need a team that is able to change him mentally, but the ride himself also needs to want to change.
