Magnus Sheffield, top junior from the US, is signing with Rally. That's impressive for Rally to sign him. They probably want to give him sort of the same road of development like they did with McNulty.

This was the kid who was the superdom during Simmons Junior WCRR race?

Exactly, he got third himself as a first year. He is pretty allround, does some cyclocross but has sadly not really raced this season after march due to corona. Before that he won the Valley of the sun race on junior gears against full grown men and set a new record in the ITT.

It will be interesting to see how and in which direction he develops.

Yeah I'll believe it when I see it.

I do see few Ineos riders could transfer to UAE. But feel Sivakov, Narvaez, Moscon and TGH sound more realistic than Ganna! I can't see Ineos give up on him now. His celebration the other day was also with love to the logo.

Curiously he already rode the Tour du Limousin for the full parent team back in August.

Yes, but it's long been established that riders on conti-teams associated with WorldTeams can ride select races (.pro and lower) with the WorldTeam; in fact, it was probably his ride in Limousin that gave him that WorldTeam contract to begin with.
However, since G-W is a WorldTour race, I suddenly realised it had to mean they'd elevated him immediately.
