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

[Samamba]

Wow. Is nothing a secret in Belgium? This transfer is news to me

Belgian transfers are usually known right after someone signed yeah (or before it). Riders, family, managers don't like to keep their mouth shut. Or just the team they are leaving from cause they obviously don't care about keeping it a secret.

It also helps that there are so many media in Belgium who are interested in breaking the news of a transfer of a Van Moer-tier rider. If you were trying to leak the news of, say, Pascal Eenkhoorn (to take someone with a similar profile), the response of the average Dutch newspaper would be 'who?' and you would stand a better chance with a Belgian newspaper given that he rides for a Belgian team.

Wielerflits would...

I get what you mean but I think Netherlands as an example probably isn't the right one given they have Wielerflits

I like all the team's transfers, in both directions. Seems like they run a tight budget, and I think their most expensive signing this year was the extension of Jorgenson. Now they just need to ditch Van Aert and Blobloblo.

Better age distribution with these transfers, and they have a good classics core for when Van Aert and Laporte retire/decline further.

 

[Berniece]

Now they just need to ditch Van Aert and Blobloblo.

Van Aert has a contract for life, he isn't leaving anytime soon. Uijtdebroeks won't either if he starts performing again in 2026.

Why should they get rid of el joven del BORA right when he's finally started to perform again?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I don't know if it's rumoured anywhere, but I could see UAGee becoming a thing now that Ayuso is leaving.

 

[Netserk]

He's still mid, overpaid and I don't like him.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Oh, I hadn't picked up on that...

He's still only 22 so it's much too early to give up on him. Maybe it will make sense for both parties to part ways a year from now, but not yet.

If a Dutch rider leaves Visma the WF crowd are crying salty tears rivalling me during the TdF route presentation

He basically wants to ride Chrono des Nations to show himself, he was looking for a team just to enter the race (he could not enter the race as an individual athlete). Don't know if he will ride another race for the team.

he better should, as I don't think anyone cares much about Chrono des Nations

Does anyone care about other races Voster ATS does in September? No

maybe not, but it's not like there usually are many spots left by the end of October, and the least thing most teams need are time trialists.

It's basically free points/result for a team with a spot to spare. If anything I think Intermarché should have given him a spot.
