Teams & Riders The Great Big Cycling Transfers, Extensions, and Rumours Thread

In the case of Bennett and Welsford yes. The brought Meeus instead who won in Paris. So that was a level descision. Ackermann...they threw him out because of Sagan in the end as well as wanting to go for a GC Top 5... both were factors imo.

With Kooij it would be different but on the other hand Denk wants to win the Tour and I see them betting everything on Roglic even though he can't win in 26.

I wouldn't dismiss Kooij to Astana just yet, they already signed his leadout man and seem to have a capable sprint train.

To be honest, Ineos wouldn't be a bad choice for Kooij.

Absolutely. Teams like Astana, AGR2, Ineos or Jayco he would be the number one rider.
