Transfers and Rumours 2011 > 2012

[daveinzambia]

My guess is that it will be announced when he has no more racing commitments with HTC. Not sure what the remainder of his race schedule looks like.

Tour of Britain is his last race in HTC Colours. Brailsford flew in a couple of days ago to meet with the team. Think the announcement of his move to Sky will come at the end of ToB.

(Called it) That would be cool.

could Pozzato get along avec les français?

i don't know, does he speak French? the star Pippo among the hard working French breakaway guys?

 

[janraaskalt]

Any link for Bozic?

Ma che, naturalmente, no probleme se fare comprendre.

Tommy vai vai attaque, Pippo reste tranquilo per la finale!

 

[LaFlorecita]

The reason Pozzato is linked to Europcar, is that Colnago (the Italian bikesponsor of Europcar) would be willing to pay for his salary.

Haha, oops. Small mistake because of being distracted a little .

Borut Božič signed for Astana for 2 years

Glad for the guy.

Best thing I read all day.

Although race admin for the Tob has just tweeted

"Hendo working for Greipel and Cav without Renshaw. Pretty exciting prospect for next year."

Cav to Lotto? Strange.

My Cav surprise would be Garmin.

But it has to be sky surely?

Unless all that tweeting about Peta Todds cats plums was because he wanted some orange furry dice for his Euskadi orange Orca

An orange leadout train would take some beating...

The longer time goes on I'm leaning towards OPQS with Brian Holm & a large number of HTC riders, also perhaps he's waiting until after the worlds.

 

[just some guy]

Wouldn't have much of a cobbled team at Europcar.

Any link for Bozic?

As long as they can get Bottles to him and be around for mechanicals in the early parts of the race, who cares.

How to Find Pippo in the Peloton look for the Big Swiss guy with the Big Norwegian on his wheel, Pippo will be on the big Norwegians wheel - you can not miss them

 

[LaFleur]

Ah, why couldnt it be transfer rumours for 2013 already!!! Taaramäe said that he is 100% going to another team for 2013.

 

[Machu Picchu]

So with Alex Rasmussen missing doping controls (lets not discuss that here) what's the likelihood that he will be with Garmin next year?

Weltz just said that they will see what happens, but that his future on Garmin looks bleak.

If JV stands up for what he believes - 0%

Chances go down to zero.
Without knowledge of details and unknow evaluation by Danish Cycling Union, you usually get a (1-2 year) ban if you have 3 missed tests within 18 months. It was reported, that he had 3 in the last 18 months.

zero, even if the whitewashing is successful and people pretend that Rasmussen is just a dumbass

 

[Cimber]

zero, even if the whitewashing is successful and people pretend that Rasmussen is just a dumbass

Even if he just is a dumbass and isnt a doper he still broke the rules and deserves his punishment. But thats clinic talk. He wont be on Garmin next year for sure.

Has it been confirmed anywhere? He said on Twitter that he won't be.

To be honest I think he is at the right place.

A team who gets a lot of invitations, without a real leader. Thus he gets leadership opportunities.

Not sure how many of the bigger teams would give him that role.

Morajko and Marczynski join Vacansoleil - https://twitter.com/#!/VacansoleilDCM/status/114364484990144514

Thought Morajko was Majka for a second then.

 

[jens_attacks]

lol just read one of the most epic rumours ever:

the schlecks to be separated in two teams,just one of them will remain at radioshack.
on velo-club.
i think this would be the best thing that ever happened to them.

I read that as one on Radioshack and one at Velo Club La Pomme Marseillaise.

CCC Polsat is closing down and it looks like Vacansoleil got 2 of the best riders.
