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

[GenericBoonenFan]

latest rider rumoured to join them is Mark Stewart. Before, there was talk about guys like Pickrell as sprint leader, Stefan de Bod, Larry Warabasse, George Jackson etc. + like 10 young Americans. So yeah, more or less as you say.

Warbasse has extended with Tudor so that frees up a spot.
Owen Cole was also rumoured to be amongst the signings iirc.
Benson published an article about it a month ago or so

Milan De Ceuster moves to DSM (one year in the dev team first)

EF Education-Oatly signs Solbjørk Anderson | EF Pro Cycling

'I have a dream that I really want to do well in the Ardennes’

Also Noah Loockx to Team Unibet, but don't expect too much from him for the first... 20 years or so...

Someone'll put him in an emerging riders game selection...

Naah, I'll wait around 17 years for that.

ah, okay, I hadn't see that. But among the names listed so far, I don't think there was a single rider not from an English speaking country, so the team probably is still not a realistic option for most.

Noah is a unisex name 'round these parts, are we sure that we'll post in the proper thread?

Leo Hayter was rumoured aswell, now I think of it.

I mainly assumed it's a boy because the Rockets joked about the kid having joined their team, and they don't have a women's team.

CQ in their team transfer section actually has them signing a Colombian - Samuel Florez.

Not sure where they've gotten their info from, but probably Benson's latest update. They have no Stites, Plowright, Cole or Jackson.

Jarrad Drizners goes to Red Bull

 

[Netserk]

Weird.

 

[JRanton]

Jarrad Drizners goes to Red Bull

Didn’t see that one coming.

 

[Links2003]

Didn’t see that one coming.

Me neither. It can only mean that Danny will become a sprinter again. Otherwise, there's only Jordi. To be honest, I didn't know him before.

Some merger news from Belgian press, Hugo Page joins Cofidis, Alexys Faure Prost goes to Picnic and Francesco Busatto to Alpecin. Milan Donie will stay on devo level one year longer than initially planed.

As mentioned before, Reuben Thompson, Lorenz Van De Wynkele and Baptiste Veistroffer (all Lotto) won't be part of the new team, but still must be paid by them. Kamiel Bonneu, Dries De Pooter, Dion Smith and Alexander Kamp (all Wanty) won't have their contract honored either.

This leaves the new team with now 31 riders, so at least one more needs to go. Thijssen may move to Alpecin, but also Girmay, de Schuyteneer and van Eetvelt are still unsure to stay.

Jarrad Drizners goes to Red Bull

They need someone to fetch the bottles on that team

 

[staubsauger]

Girmay & Van Eetvelt are literally their biggest riders after De Lie!

If this ends up being a merger of Wanty's debt and Lotto's sportive incompetence that team folds within 2-4 years!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

That's why they extended Roglic for another year

If Girmay leaves to Factor-Premier Tech he would possibly take Roel Van Sintmartensdijk with him, so that would move the team down to 29 and maybe possibly save one of the Lotto or Wanty riders.

 

[Samamba]

That's pretty optimistic.

I have said it before, them trying to keep Girmay is ruining a lot. Completely neglecting other talented riders while you're begging Girmay to stay when you don't even need him, you have De Lie anyways.

This merged team will be horrible. A team (probably) majority owned by the Lottery led by a *** that has no idea how to run a cycling team, a CEO that only seems to care about Girmay and that put his previous team into debt and deep financial trouble, a budget that isn't even mediocre and in a year probably no real talent left.

That's what Jeannie Haek decided to kill 30 years of Lotto heritage for, well he probably let himself get played by Bourlart and others, thinking Lotto would be part of some sort of big team. Naive and dumb as always.

I keep wondering why you always spell his name like that. Is it just a typo or is it to mock him as if he were a woman or something?

My phone does it for some reason, probably cause i made a typo one or twice and then well... I can probably fix it
