Transfers and Rumours 2010 > 2011

[Ryo Hazuki]

Indeed Van Avermaet seems more like an all-rounder nowdays.

he never was a sprinter either. he just won the points jersey in vuelta but he's always been a hilly guy, also in u23.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Dont encourage him.

As for michael rogers this probably means Sky ride the tour of California.. Still, a good signing, his ride at M-S-R he looked super strong on the Poggio and he should be proud of how well he rode in the spring of this year.

Uuummm, I don't know about that, since it's staying as HC, not PT, for another year. This means more US teams and fewer Euro squads. Sky have little interest in California.
Meanwhile, Thomas L has already stated that the Giro is a season's goal.

My guess is that the TOC will be minus it's defending champion.

Well, I think it will be up to Rogers. If Rogers expresses an interest in defending his title are they really going to deny him participation?

Regarding Mick Rogers:

Which means a full roster, so unless they release someone, no further signings.

Only those neos count who are u23 at the time their contract begins. They are neo for 2 years (or more exactly: for their entire minimum length of a neo contract). On January 1st 2011 Cole House is not a u23 rider anymore. Barton and Butler however were u23 at the time they got a contract with BMC and therefore are neo until the end of 2011.

Does this mean that Peter Kennaugh is still a neo-pro for 2011? He's only 21 - and he must have signed at least a 2yr contract this time last year.

This would then mean that Team Sky - with a roster size of 29 of which 2 are neo-pros - would have room for another rider.

That is correct.

Yeh, i got myself confused on the neo pro thing.. 1 spot left.. Kennaugh is still np

 

[Sneekes]

Thanks Jan & TSF

Can't imagine who they'd go for though - I don't believe the Pellizotti rumours.
Think I've got my (realistic) fingers crossed for Denifl

I think he will be there. He would want to defend his title.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Wiggins, EBH, Geraint Thomas, Rogers, Henderson and more...sounds like a pretty decent TTT team at least, that's for sure!
I'm guessing their main reason for signing Rogers is for the 1 week races, where Sky were quite bad this season. As for the GTs, he's pretty much exactly the same kind of rider as Wiggins...

Oh I think I wet myself reading this post!

 

[Stilletto]

Un-Emplyment rate in cycling growing?

According to cq there are some half decent riders out there. Would be nice to have some dinero and create a team! Good atmosphere and lots of will to prove themselves!!!!
Anyway feel free to update this list with rumours and confirmed tranfers if you want? If not ignore my post!

There are some good helpers in there, Some team are looking pretty streched thin for this season!!

 

[auscyclefan94]

Well rumours tell us that Albasini is going to BMC and that Meyer will go to Pegasus.

 

[euanli]

rumour has it, astana and pegasus haven't got their PT licenses

 

[auscyclefan94]

rumour has it, astana and pegasus haven't got their PT licenses

lelangue said that the teams get told on the 20th of Oct a that they have got their license and then everyone else knows a month later.

 

[bjaelkesex]

“I have had big moments with Bjarne Riis and Team Saxo Bank, and that is one of the reasons why I would like to stay with the group of people that made it happen” says Cancellara, referring to sports director Kim Andersen, with whom he has had a close collaboration, as well as the riders Fränk and Andy Schleck, Jakob Fuglsang, Stuart O’Grady, Jens Voigt and Dominik Klemme.

Why Fabian Cancellara prefers the Schleck brothers

I guess that settles it?

José Rujano update

Team Motorpoint Marshalls Pasta have officially disbanded. Quote from the team

'Regrettably the team in its’ current format won’t be racing in 2011. As a result of several riders choosing to concentrate on the Olympics or sign for other teams, the decision was taken to disband the existing team with immediate effect whilst other team options for next year are explored'

Shame really.

Motorpoint's back with both mens & womens teams for next year

from cyclingweekly

The Tour Series-winning team will keenly feel the loss of Olympic hopefuls Tennant and Clancy, who have gone to Rapha-Condor-Sharp.

"It was sudden, and obviously a massive hiccup; you don't take Olympic
stars leaving lightly," said team manager Keith Lambert. "But onwards
and upwards, we're trying to get reorganised and move on."


It is expected that the likes of Ian Bibby, Jonny McEvoy, Malcolm Elliott, Steven Burke will all ride in the team's distinctive orange-and-black colours in 2011.

 

[Machu Picchu]

No deal yet between Zdenek and FDJ:

Zdenek Stybar not heading to FDJ
Rumours prove to be unfounded, but other teams likely to be interested

So, does that mean he intends to ride on the road or what?

 

[Machu Picchu]

So, does that mean he intends to ride on the road or what?

He's interested in some races, he mentioned Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders but he wants a team that will allow him to ride cross races in winter and he also mentioned competing in mountain biking at the 2012 Olympics.

In short, he's looking for something new.

Rabo seems the perfect team then, no?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

perhaps rabo are a bit more lenient on boom due to him being dutch. I'm just assuming though.

 

[GJB123]

You are indeed only assuming as Rabo has a proven track record of having no real issue with riders combining different types of cycling. Not only Boom, but Nys, Groenendaal and Van der Poel before were all allowed to combine the different types of cycling to a certain extent.
