EF seems to stand at 29 riders. Weird neither Scully or one of the gravel riders (Howes / Morton) were retained.
They've now announced a 31 rider roster with Scully, Howes and Morton all in, with Padun missing.


Edit: Padun back in, El Farès out.

Padun is right there in that list?

Does any big team have spots left?

We need to get Henok Mulubrhan a contact.

This guy is 22 and a great young African talent from Eritrea. In 2020 he had superb u23 results and should have got a contract with qhubeka but was signed to the conti team as the WT team took Vacek instead

Doug Ryder even said there was no good young African talent to sign when Henok was taking good results. Very poor comment.

He signed with Qhubeka for 2022 but obviously that won't happen now and has no contract. He was this year 6th in Giro dell'appeninno and 7th overall in giro valle d'aosta.

Please message your favourite teams and get #signhenok trending.

Who are the biggest remaining unsigned names? Pozzovivo and Burghardt? Suprised that they don´t have a contract by now. Pozzo looked a lot better after the Giro. Burghardt had a solid cobbled season.

Yeah, probably those 2.
Richeze also hasn't retired, as far as I know.
He could be a solid signing for a Pct team.

So were Woods, Impey, de Marchi etc. It's obviously the age that matters for them, not performance. If you're having good results, tough luck, we will take you anyway if you're old enough.

We all know the recruiting policies of Israel Premier Tech - Anyway it's not like the aforementioned riders had their teams collapse in December when under contract.

Richeze is currently racing for a conti outfit with his brother in Argentina, just had a win in the prologue at the Giro del Sol San Juan.
He's still hoping to get another pro contract: https://www.tuttobiciweb.it/article/2022/01/09/1641660166/max-richeze-argentina-worldtour-ritiro
For a pct team with a fast sprinter he could be a great investment as a leadout man and score decent placings himself in smaller races. There's also the Israeli retirement home who could need another leadout man for Nizzolo.
