Tudor will announce Trentin, Storer, Mayrhofer and Dainese (and a few lesser ones) in a few hours.

There’s an embargo on this information.

For the past two season I've successfully predicted a female rider who would sign Uno-X, but I didn't see this one coming. Partially because I remember she extended her contract last year, and I thought it lasted longer than one season.

I had perhaps expected her to improve a bit more this season, but Uno-X should be a good team for her to develop further.

That's some very impressive signings for a ProConti Team. Very strong sprint department with Dainese, Mayrhofer and De Kleijn. Trentin and Kamp is an interesting duo in hilly one day races and the climbing department with Storer, Voisard and Reichenbach isn't that bad either.

Seems like they will have a very strong Giro team!

Mauro Schmid to Jayco.

Mauro Schmid to Jayco.

On a 3 year deal.

 

[SafeBet]

Mauro Schmid to Jayco.

Apart from Remco, possibly QS best rider this season?
Not the kind of rider this team can afford to lose. I'd like to know what kind of salary Jayco offered.

Holy fcking ***

I was so worried about Lotto's Devo team future cause basically every good team has a devo team now and is probably more attractive. But this is well beyond my expectations.

Never!
In fact, you can't read this post either. Look away. Now!

Jayco's transfers are getting better and better. Building a solid team that isn't just Yates, Matthews and Groenewegen.

I'm amazed Tudor can get so many of those good, even young riders. They don't even have guaranteed WCs, i guess the Giro will invite them (are they really going to say no to Bardiani or EOLO or are they hoping Lotto says no again?), but outside of Italy?

They must pay top dollars.

Okay. Then we're waiting for news about the other. Rodriguez to Movistar seems pretty certain, but what about Martinez, Tullett and TGH?

Man, Ineos looks absolutely shite next year. Last couple of years they have had a plethora of GC-options for every race, now it looks like slim pickings.

Olav: I heard some rumours after Tao --> Trek. Maybe his injury will complicate it a bit. Rodriguez shouldn't be 100% Movistar yet, I haven't really followed the story as of late, but maybe somebody else have?

 

[DNP-Old]

Sivakov is a funny dude. Always yapping and publicly asking for this, that and the third. He wants leadership here, he wants a free role there. Of course, he never gives any results to warrant such requests. Then goes on to sign with the one team where he will get a grand total of zero races.

 

[DNP-Old]

I am surprised Mathys Rondel is not part of that Tudor haul (yet). That kid is going places, I am sure of it. Ever since he went toe to toe with Lenny in the Isard, fresh out of the roller skates. Must have a lot of suiters.

Jayco does have extra budget with Alula being a co-sponsor, so I imagine they offered a decent wage.

Shite is a bit exaggerated, but one must wonder what is happening there.

From 2022 to 2024 they may lose Carapaz, Dunbar, Porte, Yates, Sivakov, TGH, Rodriguez, Tulett and Martinez of GC contenders or domestiques for GC contenders. The only new addition since last year is Arensman. Rumoured in for next year is only Foss and Landa. That is a BIG difference.

Is it a money issue? I can be on board with dropping several of these guys to prioritize talents like Pidcock, Sheffield, Tulett and Plapp, but not so many. And now they are also seemingly losing Tulett. Him and TGH should really have been two riders they should have kept. Especially because G is approaching the end of his career and it seem very uncertain if Bernal can get back to his previous level.

Olav: I heard some rumours after Tao --> Trek. Maybe his injury will complicate it a bit. Rodriguez shouldn't be 100% Movistar yet, I haven't really followed the story as of late, but maybe somebody else have?

That seems right. And those rumours are from after he was injured.

Tudor have an extensive plan with a lot of their devo riders, to develop slowly, hence why Wilksch was signed as the only final year U23 before 2023.

They will take time to develop the likes of Weiss, Mikutis etc, no rush to be pros

That being said, Rondel is getting to that level where the WTs will come circling to try and take him, I'm not sure it wouldn't have been prudent to sign him for 2024, although it may have been too late and they were already full, Perhaps they race him more on the pro team in 2024, a tool they only used a few times so far in 2023?

I expect BMC to add some dollars for the coming years.

I wonder if they plan a raid for one of the Aussie GC riders in a longer term. The contracts of Yates and Groenewegen are expiring after next season. The same for Hindley and O'Connor. Especially Groenewegen is a contract that really shoudn't be extended.
