Maybe someone like Skil Shimano will?

 

[Eric8-A]

UHC or TT1 I think

Actually thats who came to mind for me. Seems to fit the bill for the type of rider they want, they haven't been shy in signing the HTC boys. Plus Greenedge already have similar riders who if anything are better.

 

[LukeSchmid]

I would be surprised if any world tour team would give him a leadership role. I would guess u pro conti team has signed him.

A US pro conti team does make more sense but I was wondering about GE because they said they were expanding to 30 riders because of HTC's demise. It does not necessarily mean they are signing HTC riders, but it did make me wonder about Lewis to GE then. Also Lewis says his new team is not ready to announce his signing and GE has certainly been drip feeding their annoucements so they may have asked him to not to say.

UHC or TT1 I think

You would think it would make sense with the california statement but how much racing will tgey do in Europe? Saying that both teams look improved for next year.

 

[Wigwan]

Barry

Anyone has a hint of where he will land?

They both race quite a bit in europe. As Pro Contis though they have to compete for 1.1/1.HC and 2.1/2.HC spots (which are mostly in europe) but with the French Italian Belgian teams taking up a lot of those spots in a lot of races it's harder for them to get a full schedule. But looking at what races Jure Kocjan has done this year it seems their top riders can get a good schedule at least. http://cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/rider_palm.asp?riderid=2443&year=2011&all=1&current=0

I guess it will be Saxo Bank.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

UHC or TT1 I think

NetApp, perhaps?

 

[Eric8-A]

NetApp, perhaps?

Maybe. I'm sure they race more in Europe than UHC or TT1

 

[Libertine Seguros]

And the US sponsor means they do California too. They've had a radical overhaul of their roster, so could see it.

 

[craig1985]

I'm interested where Impey will end up. I'm saying Greenedge or Saxo Bank because he will be on the cheap for Riis.

Kevyn Ista to Veranda's Willems

[Zaschrona]

NetApp, perhaps?

I almost sure, it is NetApp. They are racing only in Europe + in California, because their sponsor is from there. And, Lewis is exactly the type rider which the team should attract.

Yeah more than what I thought I actually , certainly appears easier than what I perceived.

Jane Aubrey has told me on twitter that Steele von Hoff seems to be a good chance to be moving up to a Pro Conti or even WT team next year. She said there is plenty of interest. For those of you who don't know, Steele has been dominating the National Road Series in Australia and has pretty much unbeatable in the sprints. It was not long ago that he was a welder in outer melbourne.

They are building a nicely mixed team.

 

[luckyboy]

By the way, Verandas-Willems are merging with Donckers Koffie-Jelly Belly and will be called Accent-Donckers Koffie next year.

According to bici, Geox have signed Sohrabi from under the noses of AG2R, plus his teammate, Mizbani. Could be important for the World Tour places.
