It would be crazy if RBH didn't cut some of their GC options loose next winter, already there are too many captains for one ship and the likes of Pellizzari and Finn need some space to develop. It is therefore absolutely the right time to say goodbye to Roglic.

What options for example do they got to win the Tour? If we start at what matters the most.

As for some suddenly saying RBH is a top tier team, because Remco joined them? Before that some of the same persons where laughing when it was said they are a top three GT team. So Remco changed that? As for Rogličes salary and position in any team, i feel that results on the road will determine that, regardless of his age and similar pointless debates.

Do you think NYS will extend his contract with Lidl? Or would Quick Step be a better Option for his ambitions in the classics?

He's probably staying. His dad was already working for them beforehand, he grew up in that team. Would be very surprised if he left that environment. Why would he even? Why doesn't LIDL match with his ambitions in the classics?

Very crowded competition for leadership roles in the classics. That said it must be partly because they have so much depth that they are willing to accommodate him doing a busy cyclocross winter schedule.

Sure, but they have different strengths, and on top of that none of them is good enough to follow the best. So they need the numbers to try something different.

and Tsarenko will stay. Some pro teams showed interest, but while his results were good, the numbers didn't convince them.

Tsarenko torna a casa con un nuovo successo e il contratto in tasca - bici.PRO

Altro successo in Asia per Kyrylo Tsarenko, primo al Tour de Kyushu. Nelle gare a tappe l'ucraino è cresciuto, ma il WorldTour resta un sogno

I just noticed that Tsarenko oddly enough didn't make the final team for 2026. Nor did he sign elsewhere. Any idea what happened?

missed this the other week: Álvaro Sagrado, left without a team since Illes Balears Arabay folded, joined Team Storck - MRW Bau.

Storck in general has signed some very decent riders this year (like Walls, Cadena and Austrian champ Wafler), but somehow didn't get going yet. Let's hope there won't be any bad surprises as well. It seems to be a new structure, while the former Storck team continued as Hucare Factory Team.

Belgen met ambities in Strade Bianche, maar ook (extrasportieve) twijfels

De beste Belg van het openingsweekend moet in dienst rijden van de topfavoriet en de drie landgenoten die de voorbije drie edities op het podium van <a href="https://www.hln.be/dossier/strade-bianche~de6f5bd88-b114-4e2e-96ef-307244c3401b/" target="_blank">Strade Bianche</a> stonden, liggen in de...

Lennert Van Eetvelt finished ninth last year. He has a free role, but also a clear head? His contract expires after this season and, according to our information, the chances of an exit from Lotto–Intermarché are quite high.

The 24-year-old Van Eetvelt is, according to our information, in advanced negotiations with three other teams, one of them the Belgian team Soudal Quick-Step. Often such talks with other teams give riders wings, but with Van Eetvelt it seems to be the opposite. From what we hear, unrest has recently arisen within his entourage, and he therefore appears nervous. On Thursday he also cancelled an interview at the last minute. “The top ten is the ambition,” says Van Eetvelt.

Florian Vermeersch is also in the final year of his contract. Like Van Eetvelt, Vermeersch recently confirmed his market value and even boosted it with third place in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. He has not yet signed, but everything points to Vermeersch extending with Team UAE. CEO Mauro Gianetti praises him for his qualities in support of the leaders.

If Decathlon are serious about becoming a top 3 team and plan around Seixas, they should boost their climbing squad.
Any rumours in that regard?

if he can be in contention next year and maybe be one of the main favourites in three years , its absolutely worth it to spend real money on a contract that covers those three years

It's way too early to invest big time into a team to surround Seixas.
Click to expand...

Is it though?
What choice do they have? Wait untill he proves he's a real thing, then some of the other rich teams comes knocking with bigger contract and better team, plus a lot more experience.
And then you'll wonder why all the great riders go to the same few teams.

It is obviously early, but Seixas seems generational and he is a gamble they have to take.

Spending big on domestiques if the individual rider isn't in the same stratosphere as the riders you're looking to beat is a colossal waste of team budget.
