Transfer deadline for a midseason transfer was the 15th. So it seems that he already signed for DQS earlier, could be between the 1st and the 15th actually, and was still allowed to race for CCC. The Dauphine ended on the 16th. That's interesting.

he signed before the August 15th but since he started for CCC in the Dauphiné it was announced after

'Harm Vanhoucke blijft bij Lotto Soudal, Jelle Wallays vertrekt'

Klimmer Harm Vanhoucke (23) had een aantrekkelijk voorstel van BORA-hangrohe op zak, maar zal nu toch verlengen bij Lotto Soudal. Jelle Wallays is dicht bij een vertrek naar Cofidis. Na een paar moeilijke jaren zet Harm Vanhoucke dit seizoen een stap voorwaarts. Zo werd hij tiende in het...

there's no room anymore for Stijn Vandenbergh at Ag2R. He'd like to continue for a final year though, and Alpecin, Wanty and B&B are interested in signing him (according to Het Nieuwsblad)

Tanel Kangert signs for Mitchelton Scott for two years as per CN News and MS twitter - A good signing for the team.

That's a second good climber confirmed to leaver EF but no reinforcements so far.

A. Yates to INEOS done.

A good signing, still at the right age to contribute, especially as Froome and Thomas have a lot to prove to get back to the highest level now.

I think he needed the change since he was not performing at the highest level. Ineos were desperate for British riders but not for GC guys. I donot think G has much to prove. If he trains well and keeps his weight ideal he will be at the pointy end next year

There's also the fact that Froome won't even ride for INEOS next year.

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of Brits wanting a British rider to do well, which doesn’t look too likely this season, but stranger things have happened.

Literally half a day before:

20 y.o. Jake Stewart showed himself nicely at Tour du Lumousin. A WT contract in 2021?

 

[yaco]

I find the A.Yates move to Ineos baffling, except for the money - There would have better options in the peleton - Then again if Haig moves to Bahrain Merida that would be even more baffling considering the options on the table.

They are reading this forum, or at least your posts, and react fast.

Adam can still do well as a British rider no matter what team he rides for.

Here's a beer for your amazing predictive powers!

According to La Gazzetta Aleotti is turning pro with Bora. He was supposed to sign with CCC, but it looks like the team is falling apart.

I really think McClay could work at Ineos as he is good enough to do well at smaller races but never get big enough to start trying to upset the pecking order

They already have Lawless as a British sprinter for smaller races and he is better than McLay in more challenging terrain.
