Kobe Goossens & Gerben Thijssen --> Intermarché Wanty (source: Wielerflits)

Thijssen’s development sadly stalled after his velodrome-crash, had bigger hopes for him.

Neo-pro sprinters and Lotto doesn't seem to be a great combination. Wouters first, now Thijssen.

Mathias Norsgaard extends with Movistar. https://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/cykling/formidabel-ved-dm-nu-har-han-fremtiden-paa-plads/8659098

Finn Fisher-Black probably to UAE. https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20210629_92705528

André Cardoso is back, after his 4 year suspension. He'll be riding for EFAPEL.

Can't wait to see him destroy the portuguese peloton

He's just entering his Volta prime years.
Him, FF and Antonio Carvalho vs Amaro, Rodrigues and Brandao will be awesome.

GCN/Eurosport commentators saying today that Merlier is moving teams. Or is this just a contract year and he hasn’t signed up again yet?

Richard Moore said he was heading to Quick Step yesterday.

Richard Moore said he was heading to Quick Step yesterday.

Bennett replacement perhaps.

Lefevere will turn him into one of the best around next year. Riders seem to always step up there and Merlier has for sure showed his potential.

Bert Van Lerberghe extends for two years with Deceuninck.
Read it on Cyclismactu.

Great for the team, but also for myself for having previously predicted that it could happen (But I swear I won't suddenly change the rules of the prediction game to give me more points because of this)

Now the question is if she'll be the only Rytger rider to sign with them.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Kristoff and Bystrøm to Wanty
This guy is very reliable, so I will say it's as good as 100% confirmed.

Which guy?

eb.dk with some news:

Trek Segafredo have signed Asbjørn Hellemose (VC Mendrisio) from next season like Ciro Scognamiglio predicted a while ago, apparently already worked for Trek riders in the danish championships. Also the team extended with Alexander Kamp while Niklas Eg will go somewhere else. Jakob Egholm will also not continue.

Just to clarify; it's just speculation, right?
Of course, it can only be speculation - except with Kamp - for another month.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It's not a big surprise if Eg is on his way out, but I thought Egholm might get a new contract because of his friendship with Pedersen.
Kamp had a bad start as a WT rider, but has proven this year that he has the right level.

The guy writing the article, Jarle Fredagsvik.

So UAE lacks support and relies in this Tour on people who underperforms when working for others (Majka, Costa) are rumoured to sign another selfish rider who tends to offer little to no support to their leader. Great.

 

[ice&fire]

Rumours of Soler moving to UAE as well. He goes with a positive reference from Quintana.

 

[Anderis]

It feels like everyone moves to UAE these days.

 

[Kaptain Kool]

Giving Pogacar Soler as a teammate might be the best strategy to beat him.
