Four extensions for IPT:

George Bennett and Guillaume Boivin get one more year, two more years for Hugo Hofstetter and three more years for Nick Schultz.

Going to be interesting to see what else they can bring it with all that is going on.

Gee, Riccitello gone, Woods and Fuglsang retired (and Clarke after TDU), Pickrell heading to the Hincapie team allegedly and Ackermann to Jayco. Plus surely not another contract for Froome.

Only Askey and Gilmore in for now, Pau Marti should follow suit too. Pretty big re-build needed given the calibre of rider leaving

It's almost surprising that the UCI doesn't have more to say about a team that will qualify for the WT the next three years suddenly lose all their best riders who got them the promotion in the first place. It is what it is I suppose with the way the system is set up but if you go just by team strength, are they really deserving to become WT again?

it's not ideal, but it was even worse when the rules still were the other way around, and riders got signed for points they scored the year before.

Pieter Serry (Soudal Quick-Step) retires.

Louis Meintjes (Intermarche - Wanty) retires.

Pierre Latour (Total Energies) retires.

Tough market for the French peloton with Arkea folding and Total Energies ending their sponsorship next year.

Clement Venturini (Arkea) said today that he doesn’t have a contract for next year. He has the 9th most PCS points this year of the remaining 113 World Tour riders still without a confirmed contract for next year.

Rex to Quickstep would be an absolute high profile transfer and a perfect match for the team and the rider

 

[Cycling111]

Pieter Serry (Soudal Quick-Step) retires.

Louis Meintjes (Intermarche - Wanty) retires.

Now who will go st the back of peloton?
