Transfers and Rumours 2011 > 2012

[LukeSchmid]

Cobo has offers from three non-Spanish teams (including Astana), but is waiting for an offer from Geox before deciding.

More on Geox: They have offered Freire a contract for 2012, and are looking to sign other riders with UCI points. They probably can't match Astana's offer for Cobo, so are depending on his loyalty to the team. Menchov is going to fulfil his contrqct 'as far as they know'.

I never knew you thought of Gesink as a star.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

I never knew you thought of Gesink as a star.

he's clearly a star within rabobank.

 

[sublimit]

Dont fading stars get larger and turn orange? Sounds like Michael Boogerd.

Rumour has it that the Iranian Mehdi Sorahbi is on his way to AG2R.
Though it hasn't been confirmed by neither man nor team.

[XlandaluzeX]

I'm especially looking forward to see what he can do.

yups, supertalented rider indeed, he ll ride for Orbea next season and they granted him a contract with Euskaltel for 2013 and 2014
Haritz Orbe looks like a great prospect too, studying civil engineering while riding for a top amateur squad and having great results at both, also a type of rider u dont find very often in the Basquelands...
and Illart Zuazubiskar,i hope he succeeds...would be fun to see comentators from allaroundtheworld pronouncing his name

Erik Rowsell- GB Academy to Endura for 2012.

Be interetsted to know if one of the British continental teams are planning to step up to procontinental level next year. There was a rumour of that earlier this season. The likely candidates would be Endura or Raleigh if so.

There's a great opportunity for a British procontinental team to pick up some decent Gb riders next year with the likes of Jeremy Hunt, Roger Hammond, Dan Lloyd and Russell Downing.

Good, very good. Thanks ACF.

Anyone considered that maybe just maybe Cav is waiting to see who gets the protour spots before deciding where to go? Europcar here he comes.

Wow that's rather surprising. Bad for Liquigas considering how well he has been doing this year. Who will be his replacement then?

Well they haven't been too active in signing riders so my guess is that they wont bring anyone in they will just be hoping for someone internal to step up.

The guy had a pretty impressive season, I think a very good signing for astana anyway.

Brian Smith has let it be known that Endura are looking to step up in 2013

 

[Nicosix]

Lotto´s going to be a good solid team.

I read the other day that BMC did express interest in signing Cav. Imagine that:

Cadel
Gilbert
Hushovd
Cav

At the TDF.
