Probably not both of them as Logan Currie was also supposed to have signed with EF.Doull, Chaves, and Valgren confirmed to stay at EF + Albanese, Hobbs and Mihkels unoficially confirmed to join the team. That brings the number to 27.
Costa is supposed to have also a contract for next year so it would be 28 and I would guess either Cepeda or Shaw stay at team (or even both of them).
Still no official confirmation from the team but Banaszek Sr let the cat out of the bag and says Budzinski, Boguslawski and both Alan and Norbert Banaszek have signed for them.Over in the Czech Republic ATT may have lost their two best riders in Otruba and Dima, but there are serious (for this level) unconfirmed reinforcements on the way.
Last part of his last name actually means "lady" in my native language, so that makes sense.Laurens ten Dam will be the next national coach for the Dutch women.
Wielerbond verrast: Laurens ten Dam nieuwe bondscoach wegwielrensters
Laurens ten Dam (43) is de nieuwe bondscoach van de wegwielrensters. De oud-prof volgt Loes Gunnewijk op. De insteek is dat Ten Dam tot en met de Olympische Spelen van Los Angeles in 2028 doorgaat, maar na het eerste jaar volgt een evaluatie van beide kanten.www.ad.nl
Hatherley gives Jayco 31 riders. Join the dots.Curious to see if the Hatherly move means Ewan is leaving / retiring. Harper is listed as out of contract but he is indeed contracted for next season.
Hasn't the McKenzie transfer been (wisely?) postponed for a year? Hatherley thus makes it 30 riders.
That's not to say of course that Jayco wouldn't mind Ewan moving on....

He's on a 100% score so far as national gravel coach (Vos and Van der Poel).Laurens ten Dam will be the next national coach for the Dutch women.

I mean, does it really matter on which team you compete for MTB?Was rumoured on a few MTB forums a while ago; the only surprise is none of the road journalists who specialise in transfers picked up on it. And the MTB world is next to useless for transfer rumours/ info, so you wouldn't expect them to mention it.
Shocker: it would appear Unzue has already failed with Benjamin Noval jr. Man thought he was sneaky by offering Benjamin Noval sr. a job as DS, so as to get access to his son. Senor, however, saw through this and left his post as DS, about a week into his new role.As per usual, Eusebio Unzue puts in an absolute masterclass and loses out on just about every talented Spaniard amongst the juniors. Hector Alvarez and Trek and Adria Pericas to UAE have been known for a year, and this article links Marc Zafra to Q36.5, Marco Martin to Red Bull, Marcos Freire to UAE and Roger Pareta to Israel.
Let's see if he can be bothered to go after Benjamin Noval, Javier Cubillas, Enrique Maranchon, Enaut Urkaregi or Jaime Torres next year. My prediction? Nah.
From what I understand the smaller teams have very little logistical support so you have to do a lot of your own travel planning/nutrition etc. I don't see a lot of team tactics in the races, of course, but being on a big factory team is an advantage. They hire the best coaches/soigneurs/mechanics as well.I mean, does it really matter on which team you compete for MTB?
Main thing is the equipment, no?
Hatherly has no road experience, I dont believe you can count a road race in South Africa over 100km as experience needed for World Tour racing and then trying to navigate all things WT at 28 years old.From what I understand the smaller teams have very little logistical support so you have to do a lot of your own travel planning/nutrition etc. I don't see a lot of team tactics in the races, of course, but being on a big factory team is an advantage.

Not sure what kind of impact Hatherley will have at age 28 with very little road experience. I don't think Sam Gaze had any notable results with Alpecin in recent years. (or, at least not that I noticed...) Hatherley is. very, very good but not a transcendent talent like MvdP or Pidcock.
10 Lady...Last part of his last name actually means "lady" in my native language, so that makes sense.
In fairness to Albanese, he's chronically consistent rather than inconsistent. Fewer highs (so far), though.News to me at least! Good Bettiol replacement if so but what is it about EF singning cronically incosistent versatile puncy riders. They keep doing this but fail to get the most out of the roster every single year. Albanase is a really nice rider still.
Makes it pretty clear that Arkea are getting relegated - and probably folding then at the end of 2025.
