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

Seixas to UAE is more than a rumour. To me this is sad, specially when Seixas is probably the guy who gives me more hopes against Pogacar.

There are also rumours about Veermersch, Narvaez (going back to Ineos) and Sivakov not renew their contract with UAE. It would be good for cycling.

“Paul Seixas and Tadej Pogacar on the same team? It would be more than a dream” - UAE break silence on transfer rumours

The rapid emergence of Paul Seixas has quickly moved beyond results and into something far bigger. In a matter of weeks, the 19-year-old has gone from one of cycling’s brightest prospects to a rider s...

Just because UAE wants him, doesn’t mean they’ll get him. I think Decathlon will pay more.

Vermeersch is not leaving either if UAE wants to keep him. Said in interviews he’s very happy at the team and wants to show his team that he’s worth keeping.

That word salad of an article doesn't bring anything new though. In the interview with CyclismActu that is quoted, of course Gianetti will say that every big team watches Seixas. And that clickbait site takes it and runs with it as usual.

Pogacar, Seixas and Del Torro on the Same team is just ridicuöous

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Beppe Conti is saying Seixas won't be allowed to ride for a foreign team and he's usually wrong, so who knows what to believe?

Won't be allowed by who? Macron?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Won't be allowed by who? Macron?

Possibly. I haven't bothered to find his actual quotes.

 

[SafeBet]

Won't be allowed by who? Macron?

The whole French population. And that might be the actual quote.

Who else is Vermeersch negotiating with besides the UAE? There must be something going on, otherwise Benson wouldn't be reporting it like that.

I'd imagine anywhere that would make him their #1 in the classics and the money to afford him. I could see a lot of freedom at Astana, Ineos, Decathlon, even Red Bull. The rest probably either have people ahead (Lidl, V-LAB) or wouldn't be able to afford him IMO.

Surely Soudal would be an ideal fit?

If he wants to join, surely he'd give himself permition...

 

[Cycling920]

There should still be some money left from the Evenepoel millions from Red Bull.

 

[Rockestar_33]

Surely Soudal would be an ideal fit?

Yeah, don't know how I didn't list them.

Article in Belgian newspaper about some riders.

De Lie
* Expects 2M salary
* Already sat with RBH
* SOQ also interested
* Lotto wants to keep him, but that's unrealistic

Laporte
* RBH also thinking about Laporte instead of De Lie, because that's a cheaper option
* Visma wants to keep him

Eetvelt
* RBH
* SOQ
* NSN

Arnaud De Lie gegeerd op de transfermarkt: ook Soudal Quick-Step zet in op 24-jarige Belg

Arnaud De Lie staat zondag in Middelkerke-Bad aan de start als kopman van Lotto-Intermarché. De prestaties van de 24-jarige Waal op weg naar Wevelgem zullen ook door andere ploegen nauwlettend in de gaten gehouden worden door zijn aflopende contractsituatie.

Winner of E3 Jr Brandon Fedrizzi apparently already has an agreement with Lotto for a few seasons. I wonder whether bigger teams will show interest in case he keeps winning.

I have the feeling that RBH is linked to every rider who could possible switch teams after this season...
For De Lie it would be best to stay or go to a team were he is the clear leader and can set his own schedule. I do see limited value in De Lie when is not the leader. So Lotto or SOQ would be a good fit. Laporte could move to RBH to cash out on his career, RBH would benefit from his experience that could maybe guide riders like Pithie, van Dijke brothers or another middle aged/ young guy to classic success.
Van Eetvelt could fill a possible gap at RBH - winning more races. But yes, if this is best for him? I don´t think so.

I feel like agents just throw RBH to every rider to get better deals from other teams

 

[Tim Cahill]

Not content with their current 10 leader strategy, rasenball apparently now want 15.

I think QS would be best for De Lie if he doesn't stay given their reputation, but honestly don't really want to see it because of the blatant Real Madrid style media campaign they've been doing in the last couple of years to try and destabilise his contract.

The Italian lad who won E3 yesterday, Fedrizzi, is going to Lotto, I think the agreement has been in place for quite a long time.
