Are there Any rumors for the Grenke and Rookies rosters out there?
I
I dont know. At least he posts stuff on Instagram...so he is alive and does ride his bike. I assume his season is done, though.
His season has been excessively short. After the Giro, only Tour of Poland.

Ploeg rondom Remco Evenepoel is in principe rond

Wielerflits made an article about their 2026 selection. According to them the 30th place will stay open. Not sure why, but I think HLN (or was it Benson not sure) also mentioned it. Both the Vlasov to Astana and Rex to Red Bull transfers are not happening for whatever reason.
I mean, for the current season, the vacant 30th place was justified by the desire to promote the rookies as often as possible. Presumably, this will also apply to next season.Ploeg rondom Remco Evenepoel is in principe rond

In addition, it would now be possible to sign a rider spontaneously if a good opportunity arose. However, I would have expected a sprinter to be brought into the team. Or at least Donati from the rookies, who has already secured a victory with the WT team.
Wakefield is finally promoted to performance director, a move far more significant than any staff change in recent years.
I was suprised I think reading this, I believe Wakefield is the best choice for this move and the team has clearly recognised the work he has done and is able to produce, there is no question, it should of been done earlier. But with the success from nothing the Rookies have shown and the incredible improvement from the Grenke juniors, it is clear they need this type of performance or managment in the World Tour structure. The change may not happen in 1 season but there will definitely be a big step up in this performance department I see coming.
It would be interesting to know what his involvement with the Development structure still is if there is anything. I would think he is from a performance side as Meeusen doesnt bring the performance knowledge overall to the Position.
Well done to Redbull Bora this is a good strategic move

looks like Jasch didn't even get another year with the rookies. I at least struggle to see why else he'd sign with Tudor Devo instead.

If Jasch developes like in 2025 he will be with the main team of Tudor in 2027. I think Red Bull just don't have space and Tudor is also already full.
I believe he signed with a contract into the main team in 2027.
Tim Meeusen takes the role of John Wakefield. John Wakefield takes the role of Dan Lorang, who will stay a coach and who will work more at the Red Bull training center.

Exactly. Meeusen was Head of scouting before so I Wonder who is responsible for it nowTim Meeusen takes the role of John Wakefield. John Wakefield takes the role of Dan Lorang, who will stay a coach and who will work more at the Red Bull training center.

Well, the kids dominating the Junior Scene this year are pretty much all aging out of it.
I'm really surprised. Unpleasantly surprised. I genuinely thought he had a chance of making it into the WT team, and now he's leaving the team altogether—only to end up back in a Devo team where he won't be allowed to compete in some races due to his age. I thought he drove really well. His competitors said the same thing after the German Championships.
I wish him every success in the future.
I dont think anyone signing for Tudor or Q36. 5 needs to consider it a downgrade from a world tour team.
Every rider on the team has won and or dominated races, not just the ones who are moving out.

Yes, but the majority of those wins have come from riders who are aging out.

not everyone can or has to ride for one of the five biggest WT teams, and there's no doubt that not doing so can lead to a better career - but of course it's still a massive downgrade.

Come to think of it; it's not just that the majority of the Grenke Team's wins have come from riders who are aging out of the Junior rank.
The majority of the riders on the Grenke Team are aging out of the Junior rank.
There are 9 riders on the team, 5 of those are aging out:
5/9 = well... it's more than 50%, let's just leave it at that...

yes they are, but look at last season, riders where hired and developed far greater than any season before. Maybe this is the trend now that Shrot is not there anymore.
