Transfers and Rumours 2011 > 2012

[hatcher]

Cyclingnews confrims Nibali is leaving.I was right after all I don't like his move though, would prefer if he stayed at Liqui, but he evidently won't.

I wonder if Sky will be back in for him. We know they approached him once, and we know they're still looking for their big Italian presence.

Doubtful, as the team has moved on a bit from then in terms of GC riders, but an interesting wild card maybe.

They are intrested in Pozzatto so he could add to Italian presence. Woud like Sky to sign Mattia Catenao if they look for future stars in Italain racing. I doubt Nibs though, Sky should strenghten their classics team / possibly a new DS as well as Knaven isn't great so far. Stage racing seems pretty well covered. Will be intresting though as I am not sure who will Sky go for this year. They are said to be intrested in Thibout Pinot and Diego Ullisi, both would be great transfers .

Greenedge got new sponsor and looking for GC contender

just kidding but I wouldnt be surprised if they sign some top GC contender for next year.

 

[roundabout]

Wonder if Liquigas will sign a big GC name to replace Nibali or they will stick with Sagan/Viviani/Capecchi/stage hunting strategy at least for a year or so. Basso and Szmyd are 34 already.

Yeah, it's Knaven's fault Flecha, Geraint Thomas and Edvald Boasson Hagen haven't won a Monument yet

 

[Gloin22]

Did I say that
His decision were sometimes strange to me He lead the team along one other DS at MSR and made a major **** up with leaving 6 riders for Cav At Gent where he was leading DS he did same with CAv leaving EBH only wiht 1 rider with 50km to go. Quite noticable mistakes if you can see them Pisti ...

 

[El Pistolero]

That's Cav's big ego for ya. Not Knaven's fault. As if the outcome would have been different if EBH had team-mates. He had them in Paris-Roubaix and stuffed up big time.

Goss won Milan-San Remo without a single team-mate.

Why would anyone from Sky want to work for EBH in a classic? So much work for nothing.

 

[The Hitch]

Goss won Milan-San Remo without a single team-mate.

Cancellara?

 

[El Pistolero]

Cancellara?

Cancellara didn't ride like a headless chicken at Milan-San Remo. In fact, Goss closed a gap on Cancellara when he attacked. After that Phil attacked and Pozzato closed him down.

 

[stefrees]

The young Italian Andrea Manfredi performed well in tests with sky in Italy, think I read that on Matt Rendells twitter

 

[Damiano]

Christina Watches-Onfone is going to present a new rider tomorrow. Former WorldTour-rider. According to the press release, he rode for two of the biggest teams.

Thomas Frei maybe? He rode for Astana and BMC and fits the description

 

[jens_attacks]

And most of Denmark's actual cycling fans don't give a sh*t.
That team is a joke. They don't even need anyone to hype them to an extent nobody takes them serious - they do that all by themselves.

Has to be Thomas Frei, his suspension ended a few weeks ago.

And yet it's the most read news on Danish cycling sites.

I know. Denmark's 'actual cycling fans' all love GM-LRØ who "last year was dominating on Danish and European roads"

Christina Watches confirms the signing of Thomas Frei

 

[DominicDecoco]

That team is an absolute joke.

 

[hrotha]

Haha, that's such a PCM signing (for those games where you start with a small team and race your way to the top).

 

[hatcher]

Thomas Frei has done everything right since his ban. Happy he has a ride.

 

[Fus087]

Yes, he's done everything right - until he signed for CWO.

 

[cobblehead]

it may already have been mentioned here but the bosses at Vacansoleil have expressed the desire to add Sep Vanmarcke (Garmin-Barracuda) and Pieter Serry (topsport vlaanderen-mercator, 23 years old and 3rd in this years brabantse pijl) to their roster for next season with vanmarcke set to become their new leader in the spring classics...

Vanmarcke (who can also prolonge his contract at garmin or go to lotto-belisol, Omega-Pharma-Quickstep and BMC) has apparantly said that he will only consider offers from others teams after talking with garmin about his future

Serry on the other hand has also received an offer from garmin-Baracuda and is set to be the next to make the step from TSVM to a protourteam...

Nice rumours!
