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.

Well apparently (according to HLN) Van Eetvelt is on his way to NSN (not signed yet tho) and not QS. Their money offer must've been really good.

De Lie off to Tudor, but that was kinda known already. Pretty good choice imo.

Pinarello in poleposition for Crabbe, QS and Tudor also interested.

De Lie is a good choice for him. Could be a great environment.

Van Eetvelt to NSN is a bit dissapointing.

Moving to Monaco, taking in Carrera as manager and then signing to NSN. I don't think you need to look far what's motivating him right now lmao

Arnaud de Lie to Tudor

Arnaud de Lie to Tudor

Thats better than him going to Alpecin (whith who he was also linked), that would be equal to Seixas moving to UAE for me. Going to a team where a better rider is targeting all your favourite races.

Don't know if Tudor gets the best out of their riders though, but a change of environment is good either way.
