in Spanish Marca.
But with ATT (Czech CT team) should by in the next days a lot of info.
@Samamba can you tell about source about this gossip with Astana new rider
I don't know how far along the deal with Teunissen really was. Wielerflits have gone a bit overboard with the one-sided reporting on this, it seems like they're the mouthpiece for Teunissen's management.Strange story, the Teunissen Visma deal collapsing. I guess now with the Van Dijke brothers leaving, they badly need a lead out for Kooij. Who else is available on the market?

Kooij never really had a leadout, he's nearly always on his own. The only one you can say has done some useful work for him in the final k a few times is Affini, and he's still there. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Kooij leaving at the end of next year as well, he's never going to start the Tour at Visma (unless they have another disastrous season).
Maurice Ballerstedt from Alpecin is leaving and hasn't announced yet, what he will do next year. It sounded like he would improve his situation. It might fit.Strange story, the Teunissen Visma deal collapsing. I guess now with the Van Dijke brothers leaving, they badly need a lead out for Kooij. Who else is available on the market?
Enough said about what?He's ridden one GT in 4 years. Enough said!
Famed lead-out Pozzovivo is unattached for 2025!Strange story, the Teunissen Visma deal collapsing. I guess now with the Van Dijke brothers leaving, they badly need a lead out for Kooij. Who else is available on the market?
Then that's the French team Sporza was writing about.Arkea is in serious financial problems, the company and thus also the team. Not sure what exactly is going on but they cant use the option in Champoussins contract cause they don't have the money (hence why he's probably going to Astana, they are technically not buying him out) and other riders are getting offered to other teams by their agents to see what's possible.
That's only the tip of the iceberg where Wielerflits going overboard with regards to this story is concerned. In my opinion, their reputation is kind of shot at this point.Wielerflits have gone a bit overboard with the one-sided reporting on this, it seems like they're the mouthpiece for Teunissen's management.
I'd say it's become Wielerflits' thing. Prior to the Visma/Soudal merger reporting last year, they were more reliable than most. Definitely not the case anymore.Isnt one sided reporting simply Wielerflits "thing". They always do it. It generates clicks as it's often very negative and sensationalized so people talk about it.
The Lotto story was also horrible in that regards.
Yeah, I read that too. It's like harassment. I think you can actually sue them for this.That's only the tip of the iceberg where Wielerflits going overboard with regards to this story is concerned. In my opinion, their reputation is kind of shot at this point.
Naturally there was a lot of criticism by commenters on the site (the comment section there is usually a hellhole, but that's beside the point) on the way Wielerflits have reported on Teunissen. So what did Wielerflits decide was the best way to handle this? Scour the internet for the phone numbers of said commenters, and give them unsolicited calls. Actually bizarre behaviour.
And yes, they have admitted to this.

Hm this could be interesting in terms of WT license. What will happen then? Will there be one open until the next period or can an existing team jump in and buy the license with immediate effect for 2025? Q36.5, Tudor, Uno X, Lotto, Israel PT would be the teams who could fit in. Maybe Lotto can´t afford the license.Arkea is in serious financial problems, the company and thus also the team.

Astana wants Albanese too, not really surprising that one. EF is also in the picture.
