Australian Michael Freiberg (20) of AIS Jayco to join Pegasus next year

http://www.cyclismactu.net/news-transfert_un_talent_australien_rejoint_pegasus-10416.html

In the Pegasus thread I linked to an article that said he was going to FlyV, not Pegasus (so not entirely sure which is true). He's also from the WAIS, not AIS.

No Scott Davis!

 

[luckyboy]

Riis could possibly be a bigger flipper flopper than wigans.

Seems to be in time with the UCI/ASO announcement about him.

 

[craig1985]

No Scott Davis!

It's not like he is PT quality. What odds he will end at Pegasus?

 

[joy118118]

Jens Zemke will be the new DS in HTC-Columbia.

Certainly more of a chance now he's uncontracted. Would be a useful addition too, they need more Aussies with Europe racingg experience.

Motorpoint have announced their roster for next season. The team includes:
Ian Bibby
Jonny McEvoy,

They have lost Ed Clancy and Andy Tennant but have signed Marcin Bialoblocki and Will Bjergfelt from Willier/Bigmaggys together with Tobyn Horton from Team Sprocket. A further two riders will be announced over the coming weeks.

Responsibility for the day-to-day management of the team will now rest with Malcolm Elliott. He is joined by Chris Truett from Team Raleigh as Assistant Manager.

Endura Racing have announced that a number of their British riders have been retained for next season including Rob Hayles, Ian Wilkinson, Rob Partridge, Callum Wilkinson, Evan Oliphant, James Moss and Scott Thwaites. They have also signed Dave Clarke from Pendragon.

The British riders join Alexandre Blain, Iker Camano, Rene Mandri and Maarten de Jonge. The future of New Zealanders Jack Buaer and Jason Christie are still to be announced. Further rider announcements are expected in the coming weeks.

They have also signed ex Cervelo man Alex Sans Vega to their support staff to act as a consultant to DS Julian Winn.

 

[hatcher]

Didn't realise Tennant was going with Clancy. Bialoblocki and Clarke both good signings.

Big season for McEvoy.

 

[Christian]

Two new recruits for Landbouwkrediet: Matti Helminen (FIN/35), national ITT champion; and Joeri Stallaert (BEL/19), 7th of Paris-Tours for espoirs. Helminen signed a 1-year and Stallaert a 2-year contract.

Makes 15, and you need at least 16 riders according to UCI rules, so there is one spot open. Rumour has it will be Jonas Ljungblad of OP-L.

So does that mean they are applying for pro continental status? Because the 16-rider rules does not apply to continental teams as far as I know.

Hm I don't know. It would really surprise me if they applied to ProConti status because it has never been mentioned anywhere in the press. The 16-rider minumum rule was mentioned in the article, so that's why I wrote about it

 

[DAOTEC]

- Luca Solari (31) to stay with Androni Giocattoli 2011[cicloweb.it]

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Excellent, now 3 confirmed Portuguese teams for next year. I guess the last two could well come from the abandoned Liberty Seguros project. Mendes and Rodrigues would help make it a strong team, but Rui Sousa just left Barbot, don't know how amicable the split was.

Looks like Santí Pérez will be their leader; good for the Asturias invite, bad for those of us who hoped Bernabéu and Blanco going back to Spain and the LibSeg project might help Portuguese cycling throw away its reputation for being a bunch of talented riders slaving away to help yesterday's Spanish dopers prolong their careers.

Bruno Pinto > Luxembourg

Isn't his name Bruno Pires?

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

The rest of the team has yet to be confirmed.
