Bora is going all in. Great transfers! Gianni will probably have the opportunity to lead the team in both RVV and PR, something impossible in Alpecin.

Vermeersch wasn't the most popular in CycloX aswell, I vividly remember him getting an earful by veteran Sven Nys at one point.People wonder if Evenepoel and Roglic will get along. I'm more interested in Evenepoel and Vermeersch.

Evenepoel razend op Vermeersch na finish: "Ga je nog een beetje met mij lachen?" | sporza
Het was niet de dag van Remco Evenepoel. De renner van Deceuninck - Quick-Step verloor bijna een minuut door pech. Dat zou het gevolg geweest zijn van een botsing met Gianni Vermeersch. Evenepoel ging na de streep de discussie aan met zijn landgenoot. Eerder was er ook al een akkefietje met een...sporza.be
Wasn't he also the most vocal one (or even the only one?) voting for the exclusion of Van Aert after a false start at the Belgian Championships CX years ago?Vermeersch wasn't the most popular in CycloX aswell, I vividly remember him getting an earful by veteran Sven Nys at one point.
With Pithie and Lazkano? Doubt he'll get leadership status. Not saying those other two are much better, but I don't feel Vermeersch is much better than them either.Bora is going all in.

Well, this year most riders are better than Lazkano. Anybody know what's up with him? Can't find any news.With Pithie and Lazkano? Doubt he'll get leadership status. Not saying those other two are much better, but I don't feel Vermeersch is much better than them either.
That was somewhere in the youth ranks, no?Wasn't he also the most vocal one (or even the only one?) voting for the exclusion of Van Aert after a false start at the Belgian Championships CX years ago?
No. As far as a I know there are no news at all. Even his team is dead silent.Well, this year most riders are better than Lazkano. Anybody know what's up with him? Can't find any news.
Lauren Dickson from Alba Handsling to FDJ Suez.
Well deserved big move for a rider with less than two years experience.

the interesting thing is that they only got half a team (15) signed for 2026 (do i smell a merger ?), and no new signing so far...
I did not know about this at all. Perhaps explains some of his performances this year?they have been in negotiations with Red Bull for Vlasov for a while now. With Remco coming in there he really wants to leave so it's probably happening.
Without a massive budget, Bahrain have added some decent riders in Segaert, Miquel and Valter. They've beefed up their middle of the pack riders behind their aging leaders and plenty of youngsters signed from CTF Victorious.Not a transfer I expected:

Team Bahrain Victorious is pleased to announce the signing of Spanish rider Pau Miquel on a two-year contract for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The 25-year-old turned professional in 2022 with Equipo Kern Pharma, having joined the team as a trainee in August 2021. Over the past three and a half...bahraincyclingteam.com

I'm also fairly sure he signed a 3-year extension last year?
Velasco was rumoured elsewhere, but not sure if it came to fruition.I quote here cause this is where it belongs.
Fortunato, Gate, Malucelli, Kanter, Lopez and Vinokourov have extended or are extending. Kuzmin (probably will cause they need a minimum amount of Kazaks), Velasco, Poels and Charmig not sure yet. Silva is probably coming in and they have been in negotiations with Red Bull for Vlasov for a while now. With Remco coming in there he really wants to leave so it's probably happening.
More surprised about Trek having the money for Ayuso, but they want a potential top gc rider and he wants to be the clear cut leader.Velasco was rumoured elsewhere, but not sure if it came to fruition.
On another note, it seems Ayuso to Trek is very likely. Not confirmed but a strong chance.

I mean, they threw money at TGH before seeing him race again after a potentially career altering injury...Their thinking seem to be that the more GC leaders you have that have 50/50 chances of underperforming, getting sick or crashing out of GTs, the more likely you are to have one that finishes the race. But just for fun I hope they give him a 10 year contract.
You could say that, lets hope her upcoming Specialized steed will give her the same impetus.You could say she got a... handsling to the team!
