This is not a year-specific transfer and rumour thread.Scary strong team if this is true... (I'm new here, maybe someone should create a new thread for '23?)
Why out of all people that left DSM for good Arensman would choose to leave them for Ineos?Van Baarle to Jumbo for 3 years
Arensman to Ineos for 2 years
it's a pretty logical choice.Why out of all people that left DSM for good Arensman would choose to leave them for Ineos?
Big L for Jumbo that Arensman deal. At a time when they need a young climber/GC rider so much, they somehow managed to lose out on the best (read only) young Dutch GC rider out there, again. I really don't see anyone else as an option except if maybe Halland has some kind of an early exit clause. Strengthening the classics squad with DvB is nice but who is gonna climb that's not named Primoz/Jonas...Van Baarle to Jumbo for 3 years
Arensman to Ineos for 2 years
I suppose he can be Nuyens to WVAs Boonen.I don't really understand the Van Baarle move.
Ineos and UAE said no to the money. It's 2 mill a year similar to Alaphilippe, Van Aert, Kwiatkowski etcI don't really understand the Van Baarle move.
I don't see Yates as a big loss to Ineos. He was kind of a vanity signing, right? They have several other guys who perform a similar function.This is old news - My understanding is that there will be extra investment ( Aussie ) in Team Bike Exchange Jayco - The team would like A. Yates to return although I am yet to be convinced this will happen - Dunbar is a real chance to join, while S.Yates has no reason to leave.
BEX is desperate to get A.Yates back in the fold but it is no certainty - My feeling is that Adam will stay with Ineos.I don't see Yates as a big loss to Ineos. He was kind of a vanity signing, right? They have several other guys who perform a similar function.
Harsh. Was 9th in PCS rankings for 2021, which, going by that, would suggest they only have one other guy who can perform that function. None, if you count being British as being an important part of that function.I don't see Yates as a big loss to Ineos. He was kind of a vanity signing, right?

Yet when Dunbar when to Sky/Ineos after AB went down they gave them permission without any problem...don't think so. Vacek apparently has signed for Trek, but they are full, so he will get on board in 2023 (according to mixed statements from the two brothers). Also a stagiaire role on from August isn't possible, as he already has pro-experience.
Not that harsh IMO. Off the top of my head he won a week-long WT stage race (but if he hadn't been there Porte and Thomas would still have been 1st and 2nd!) and got 4th at the Vuelta (but if he hadn't been there, Bernal would still have been 5th!).Harsh.

He should be warned that just because you ride for Movistar doesn't mean the Movistar DSes will stop sabotaging you."Carapaz is open to offers and is in talks with Movistar and three other teams
