Latest UCI team transfers

The latest UCI team to team transfers are Francesca Pellegrini (from UAE Development Team to Uno-X Mobility), Auke De Buysser (from NXTG Racing U19 Development Team to EF Education-Oatly) and Esteban Foucher (from Veloce Club Rouen 76 to Equipe continentale Groupama-FDJ).

Once they're officialy confirmed you'll find all transfers here. From August 1st onwards I check this nearly three times a day.

 

[StryderHells]

Blake Quick and Rudy Porter are quality singings for the BEX mens team.

Not good for Bora, if they want to continue as a big GC team in the future.. Keldermann (although he didn´t get his own result) was very important for Hindley at the giro..

Kelderman also got 5th last year at the Tour.

Küng to Bora would be perfect for him and the squad. He says he wants to be a leader and get support, then don't go to UAE.

Kelderman to Jumbo also makes a lot of sense as kind of a Gesink replacement longterm.

Novak to UAE was also clear since the Tour of Slovenia. That's the kind of domestique that is missing right now for Pogi at the Tour.

Alpecin looks like a aboslute beast for the one day races. To add SKA, Hermans and Groves to Philipsen, MvdP, Vermeesch, de Bondt and co would be really strong.

I'm not sure on Kung to Bora. If he wants to be a leader in week long races, I don't think that happens there. I've seen DSM linked to him where that can happen alright . Not much support in the classics though.

Team id like him to go to is Alpecin. He's get support in the week long races but also be a great foil for VDP in the classics and he'd get chances himself there even if he's not the out and out leader.

With one ear I heard the commentators today say Küng was too expensive for Bora's taste?

From the article:


It's probably not going to happen in a team with Pogacar, Almeida, Ayuso and McNulty. To be honest, it's going to be a big ask at any good team.

Then UAE is obviously the worst place to go with stage race ambitions outside of the hardman races. Soler, Bennett, Majka, Formolo and in a couple of years Fischer-Black would all be ahead of him as well.

When these kind of riders are ahead of someone, perhaps that certain someone just has the wrong ambitions?

Velonews reported on Kung’s transfer here - https://www.velonews.com/events/tou...kung-but-groupama-can-still-scupper-the-deal/

He had a number of offers, but sounds like DSM is the front runner, albeit there’s a clause in his current contract that allows FDJ to match another offer and keep him. But he wants €1.2m so might be too expensive for them.

The more is apt as Bling is getting more money.

 

[Jumbot]

According to WF:
-Eenkhorn close to Lotto-Dstny
-Rick Pluimers from Jumbo Dev Team to Cancellara's Tudor team
-Igor Dario Beletta (italian junior champ) to Jumbo Dev Team

WF now reporting Wiebes to SDWorx.

He can probably top 10 a bunch of stage races tbf. At a bigger team though, he becomes a Dennis, Van Baarle, Ganna etc and just rides a strong tempo across a load of stages or a sprint team, he becomes part of the lead out train.

 

[groogster]

Just heard at Eurosport that Rui Costa will sign for Intermarche Wanty

 

[Jumbot]

Rob Hatch saying Atilla Valter to Jumbo...
So Benji Naesen didn't tell us everything about his involvement with the team, it seems he's the chief scout too

It'll be Aranburu next...

Haven't really been paying much attention to this so far this summer, but as far I understand:

Carapaz is confirmed to EF Education?
Both Yates and Van Baerle are also rumoured leaving Ineos?

Together with Porte retiring, this would mean a much weaker Ineos roster. Any rumours on riders incoming?

I actually hope they prioritize one day races somewhat more when signing new riders. And not just filling up the squad with domestiques for GT racing, especially when they have no one that can challenge Pog and Vingegaard in the Tour.

Is Arensmen still on the cards for them? If they continue with the trend of the last couple of seasons and signing young riders who're developing, i'd think possibly Leo Hayter, one or two from Trinity, like Gloag or Lamperti maybe.

Gloag to Jumbo, despite Ineos heavily recruiting him.

Arensmen would be a good signing. And I think Bernal, Martinez and G as GT captains along with Arensmen, Tao, Sivakov, Rordriguez, Pidcock as domestiques in the mountains would be a good selection of riders. Hopefully they don't feel the need to repalce every single one of good GT/mountain riders leaving after this season.

Ok time to stop Jumbo, getting a bit ridiculous. Worse than Sky.

They're trolling Ineos with this and Van Baarle.
How big is their budget? it must be close to UAE and Ineos these days.

They already took Dennis too.

And wasnt Benoot rumored to Ineos as well before signing with Jumbo?

Either way, it makes sense trying to steal riders from a main competitor. It is just unfortunate with teams so much stronger, but it is like that in many sports.
