I guess you can never be too old to ride for a devo team.
Fariba Hashimi has finally found a new home at Ceratizit.

¡¡¡¡INOCENTES!!!!
*checks calendar*
Wait, what?
(for the uninitiated, a couple of years ago Movistar's prank for Día de los Santos Inocentes (Spanish April Fools' Day) was Espargaró joining them after he'd been espied out on training rides with members of the team)
there's a small pocket of wicked Spanish fans on twitter hating strongly on Espargaro, Cortina, Purito and all the Andorran guys. it's vitriol and utter dislike

I thought they already were.
Didn't they already do that this year?
I'm confused!
HELP!
They were a sponsor this year with seperate paying agents. Now they come under the Green Edge banner with the one paying agent.

Love how in the announcement video on FB they also teased next year's kit.
Edit; here it is - from Twitter - Silly AC posting it in the wrong thread.

moto gp rider Espargaro signs for Lidl-Trek devo.
there's been an explosion on the Spanish twitter. the guy is strongly hated, very strongly. I am enjoying the dozens angered Spanish tweeps. (maybe he deserves the hate, I don't know, but I've always sided for the guys getting the hate, well I'm a Sky fan )

Do you know why he is hated? Or was he the Anquetil to a Poulidor in the Spanish MotoGP scene?moto gp rider Espargaro signs for Lidl-Trek devo.

It might have to do with some people views and perception on high-income people relocating to Andorra and other tax friendly countries.

What next Cavs mate Cal joins Astana🫣
It's weird because in some press releases Aleix is just an ambassador, in others he's joining as a rider. He's known for being pretty marmite as a character in MotoGP so who knows what Lidl Trek are thinking

the MotoGP fan-scene is a toxic one, so it's not so much about Aleix himself I think, but more that he had trouble with guys like Marquez, Rossi, Miller etc in the past, so consequently also with their fans.
He has a big ego for sure, but that's the case for everyone in motor sports. If Trek turns him into a sprinter, they should be fine.

Simon Pellaud joins Li Ning Star (he will share team with Alexander Salby and Raileanu).
Elia Viviani is rumoured / linked with Q36.5

Yes it wasn't just the fans but his fellow riders and teams, was the rumour he partly retired because no one wanted to work with him anymore he caused that much grief sometimes. Definitely a big ego.

New contract for Widar at Lotto. Technically same length, but big salary in return for dropping the exit clause at the end of 2025. I guess all the performance questions the kid supposedly had disappeared when he saw the new offer.

Øxenberg and Storm placed with Lotto Kern-Haus PSD Bank in 2025
www.ineosgrenadiers.com
Which of course makes me wonder; in Øxenberg's case, is it a transfer from Ineos to Kern, or from ColoQuick to Kern?
