Where is Stuyven going to?

idk didn't say

quick-step or alpecin maybe?

 

[Netserk]

Maybe Astana?

 

[Samamba]

Molano in talks with Intermarché is a weird one...
Also with movistar, that sounds more plausible

And Kung to Tudor, well I guess that was written in the stars

Manke sense UAE dont need a sprinter

Long article summarising possible transfers. Some more concrete others spitballing what might be interesting. In Dutch though but a summary:

Kooij (with Bol and Hoole): Decathlon, Bahrein
Kung: Tudor
Van Wilder: Decathlon
Benoot: Decathlon
Van Baarle: Soudal-Quickstep
Stuyven: Soudal-Quickstep
Kielich: Soudal-Quickstep
Planckaert: Soudal-Quickstep
Lampaert: Bahrein, Q36.5
Evenepoel: Ineos, Bora

Evenepoel: Ineos, Bora

There's of course also the quite likely option that he'll stay with Quickstep.

Yeah, there was nothing new in the article on that topic. Just that a lot of people are leaving Ineos, and that they got money available. And what we already knew that Roglic doesn't want Evenepoel at Bora which makes sense as long as he wants to go for the TDF. Although I would think that both of them have a higher chance of winning when they are in the same team.

that's great. I'll be a Küng's fan

 

[Samamba]

Nieuwsblad confirmed Stuyven QS and the fact that Lotto is a dead team.

Also says Cosnefroy and Vauquelin to Ineos.

Look like Visma and UAE missed out of all the hot out of contract names..
Kind of nice tbh

Plus they hate each other.

So 19th gets WT status probably

 

[Tim Cahill]

Roglic and Evenepoel on the same team would be truly magical, there isn't a better personality clash in all of cycling, though Bora would be a regression at the current time.

wow. and Ineos getting 2 French riders probably means that Total moves there.

will Bernaudeau team still exist in 2026?

also, why the f. the Belgian Lotto owners keep messing up?

we could see a 2026 without Lotto, Arkea, Total. the TDF wild cars would get suddenly easier

I don't see any problem next year, Rogla getting old so he shouldn't have any issues with Remco on the same team.

The race to 19th becomes much easier, Uno-X and Tudor probably auto qualifiers, then 2/3 wildcards each GT

Tietema Rockets, with their French license, could get a TDF ride as early as next year if Arkea and Total (and Lotto) fold

Definitely not, why do you think they hate each other?

Remco is an Arsenal fan, perhaps Roglic is a spur?

I've heard that Remco is a Roar Ljøkelsøy-stan.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Adam Yates extended at UAE until 2028, confirming the Giro superpeak rather than him just being washed like some of yous suggest. Good man Adam.

Felix Grosdnjgasdnglan until 2027 too, he must have compromising pictures of the sheik in a lockbox somewhere. Fair play to him.

Roglic is a Neymar fan, he imitates him every 1st week of July.

Nah, he'll be one of the best in the 3rd week of the Giro, but they want him to also be sharp for the Tour.
