What's the best link for a summary of it all?
Kelderman also got 5th last year at the Tour.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..
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.
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.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.
When these kind of riders are ahead of someone, perhaps that certain someone just has the wrong ambitions?Then UAE is obviously the worst place to go with stage race ambitions outside of the hardman races.

-Igor Dario Beletta (italian junior champ) to Jumbo Dev Team
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

It'll be Aranburu next...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
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.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.
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.Is Arensmen still on the cards for them?

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.
