Vansevenant to Lotto according to WF.

So basically a switch between Van Eetvelt and Vansevenant.

SOQ gets the better deal out of that performance wise, but I guess Van Eetvelt also costs a lot more

Yeah salary's aren't even comparable probably (Van Eetvelt dropped his manager for Carrera for a reason), but like you said performance wise it isn't either. Van Eetvelt with a bad spring this year has only 100 UCI points less than Vansevenant who had a good spring. Says a lot. Van Eetvelt potential obviously way higher, just need to keep him fit.

Mauri is a good reinforcement for Lotto-Intermarché. They need a massive revamp this season. I would also sign a couple of the Flanders Baloise riders such as Crabbe and Lanhove.

I'm guessing at least Van Eetvelt, De Buyst, Taco, Rota (sadly he is Solution Tech material as of now), Thompson and Orins are on their way out. Then you have Slock, Grignard, Van Sintmartensdijk and Craps of which I would only extend Craps if healthy.
