They are part of the same group as Santa Cruz; Minnaar was on a Cervelo road bike last week.....
LL Sánchez rumoured to Bahrain for two years https://www.radsport-news.com/sport/sportnews_126657.htm
Yeah, I would never have dreamt of putting it anywhere else
Another promising talent to sign for Uno-X. Now they only need an Icelandic rider to have all the sovereign Nordic states covered.
They are probably not going to do that, because the men's team is solely focusing on Danish and Norwegian riders.
I'm not sure Eriksson will be deemed as Danish enough, although he has spent the last three seasons with Riwal.

So much for the "They'll announce one new signing each month" theory discussed over in the Team Thread...

Also a shame Torkil Veyhe retired.

I know I'm too critical of Movistar but this just appears to bring more headless racing.
According to cycling fever, Movistar have not renewed the contracts of Alba, Cataldo, Villella and Cullaigh. Wouldn't be too surprising to see the latter move to Ineos as a, sort of, replacement for Doull. He rode with Pidcock before at Trinity
Landa and Bilbao confirmed for 2 more seasons at Bahrain.
Good decision...
I‘m however surprised Bilbao didn‘t race since TdF, and no races planned... Illness or injury?...
Probably just cooked after riding Giro-Tour and riding on a high level from Itzulia until the end of the Tour.
56 race days from April until mid July with 2 gts, that's a lot of racing.
Sylwester Szmyd would laugh at that.
In 2010 he rode and completed: Trentino, Romandie, Giro d'Italia, Dauphine, Tour de France and after all of that he still fought for GC in Tour de Pologne (which started within a week of the end of Tour de France).
He also did Larciano, Laigueglia, Strade, Tirreno and Gp Indurain before Itzulia. Between Tirreno and Indurain he was sick so couldn't do much proper training. And 1 week less between giro and tour this year. So he was doing National championships only 18 days after giro and then straight in TDF.
Remarkably heavy period of racing.
Thomas Voecklee from the same year.

Bilbao would laugh at it himself. In 2020, he did Burgos, then the Dauphiné, then the Spanish TT nats, then the Tour where he was 16th, then both of the races at the Worlds the week after the Tour, and the week after that he started the Giro where he ended up in 5th place.
And Marino Lejarreta would of course laugh at all of them after riding three GTs in less than three months in both 1990 and 1991.
And he actually also did it in just over three months in 1987. where he rode a three day Spanish stage race in-between the Giro and the Tour.

Riders just aren’t as tough as they used to be: in the olden days riders used to ride all the Classics, multiple one-week races, all 3 GTs ( even though two overlap), AND rode from the finish of each race to the start of the next race, harvesting crops along the way, milling their own flour to make the pasta and bread that sustained them!
We're descending into Four Yorkshiremen territory here.
Yes, but just like in the original performance(s) of that sketch, the parts are played by younger people.
Bilbao has completed 4 GTs between Sep 2020 and July 2021. He deserves some rest.
