You can't actually see what kind of clothes he's wearing... is the zipper supposed to mean anything?

Honestly, you know your zipper is quality when it has YKK written on it.

(For those of you that don't know, your jeans have a 50% chance of having a YKK zipper. That is if you're not wearing gucci all day)

So has Glasenberg got all fired up after having the WC on his doorstep (literally)?

 

[Roku]

Did Eiking secure himself a contract with some team after getting 3rd on the Queen Stage in Croatia today?

Hopefully so. I mean, despite not being a really high scorer a team like Arkéa which did not have any signing bar devo riders could use him. I would like him back in Wanty though that ship has probably sailed.

Think it has not been discussed here but Milan Vader joins Q.36. Good for both sides.

Q36.5 making moves, they just might be right up there with Tudor to sweep in and buy someone's license

well but, for now, no WT team is folding/stopping/merging

Gianmarco Garofoli --> Soudal-Quick-Step.
I guess this means Moscon isn't staying. Wonder where he'll end up

Technically there's room for both, isn't it? Or am I missing any confirmed rider that has not been publicly announced yet?

Highly doubt he stays in the WT. Retirement wouldn't surprise me either.

UAE Team Emirates sign Rune Herregodts - UAE team Emirates

The first UAE World Tour cycling team

I find it strange that Quick Step would not offer Moscon a new contract. Think he has performed his role well this year.

I'm unsure about how he fits in the team. Hopefully he will get his chances and not be limited to do "donkey work".

Everyone gets their chance at UAE because they enter every single race on the calender. I think he will mostly do donkey work of course, but Pogi & Herregodts dual leadership at the Tour?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Moscon and Masnada would be a decent fit for Polti?

He is a donkey signing. But maybe he can win a TT here and there

I think it is a very good signing

Not surprising, it was the kind of low-ball 1 year contract that might save a riders career and pay off massively, but in this case it didn't. Although he did some decent work for remco in the tour, he offered nothing otherwise, there are plenty of other riders who can do a similar job who aren't total liabilities the rest of the year. They also probably come with better 'PR'

Nothing in terms of results since that roubaix crash.

 

[Salvarani]

Dont think it aligns with their strategy at Polti-Kometa to sign either.

I think Q36.5 or Corratec is more likely.

Maybe Tudor for Moscon.

Raccagni Noviero wasn't announced yet y'day but today he has. Which makes 29 riders

 

[yaco]

Monica Trinca Colonel to Liv Alula Jayco. I would have preferred if they kept Zigart who has more to offer.

He was employed to be a domestic and did this job well,. To say, otherwise is folly. Anway he should find a team.

Does anyone else find it weird that some major women have yet to be publicly announced? Vollering most notably…

Considering Zigart was keen on staying they must have messed up negotiations with her somehow. Daniel Benson deleted the tweet now but it suggested that Liv thought she was staying even after the Pat Lef article.

They are also losing Gaskjenn who had a great season and will definitely improve.

Gaskjenn is a blow but there is always the lure of Uno X. Colonel is a rough diamond, so who knows how much improvement she has in her body. Anyway, the team needs to improve their management and their programming of races because the girls do ride well as a team.

I thought maybe they were waiting till her season was over, but she's not on the Simac tour startlist, which also means Kopecky wins the WWT jersey since Vollering cant defend her current points lead and so that's it as SDworx arent going to China.
