Transfers and Rumours 2011 > 2012

[Libertine Seguros]

In other news the sky is blue.

Seriously, this is becoming the most tedious and predictable transfer saga since Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid.

I saw that two noted hirings by Movistar (Castroviejo and Karpets) are missing in the thread of confirmed transfers locked by luckyboy.

I had Valverde as a certainty to go to BMC personally.

*runs*

You better run mate as I will hunt you or anyone else down who says such rubbish!

Just pointing something out, BMC has no Spanish riders in their team...interesting.

That's because Spanish riders win things.

And also because BMC have had far too much trouble working out what to do with their Italian dopers to add another separate section to it. Maybe they can sign Toni Colóm now he's off suspension.

So do plenty of other races. fyi, Ballan is the only italian or BMC rider under investigation. Nice try

AFAIK I haven't seen anything in the English media about it being confirmed that Castroviejo has signed with Movistar, although I do trust people like hortha (famous last words I know) and so on, that is correct.

Brailsford not at the race today, which is surprising. Assume that he is keeping away from the are you signing cav questions. Think it will be a sky sports news exclusive either monday or tuesday.

Just going to try and drag it out a bit longer? Maybe next it will be an announcement for the Worlds, then for Lombardia, then for Christmas. Does anybody really think Cav is going anywhere else? Do they really think they have us waiting with bated breath?

That site isn't very good. A lot of wrong info there.

 

[luckyboy]

Transfers only go in that thread when the rider/team confirms them.

You keep talking about it, so evidently they do.

And Brailsford not being somewhere is hardly evidence of dragging out a story. Sky haven't been dropping hints, or calling/cancelling press conferences, in fact Sky have said absolutely nothing about Cav. Absolutely nothing.

Why is everyone in such a rush? HTC still exist. Cav still rides for them (and is in fact in the middle of a race for them), and won't be riding for his new team for another 4 months minimum. Now now now I need to know now.

But we don't need to know, we all more or less already know, so why the veil of secrecy, ensuring more speculation? This Cavendish off-bike transfer talk is almost as boring as Cavendish on-bike.

I'm bored and past caring where goes, he can join An Post for all I care at the minute. But its a nice package if they(Sky) get Eissel, Suitsou with Cav though.

The guy that mentioned he's still contracted to HTC is right though and it would be disrespectful to them if he's paraded him as a future Sky rider whilst riding the TOB. Hopefully tommorow everybody will be put out their misery.

I know who cares really the drag out saga is stupid now.

thats one no1 was expecting

so let me see. . . navarro, hernandez, cas, paulinho . . . sounds like a pretty decent set of mountain domestiques if you ask me.

+ contador and a couple of guys for the flat = a very nice fresh team for the tour.

Classic, well played Timmy - Even better considering the colours of BMC old

 

[dlwssonic]

BMC has more class than valverde.

 

[theyoungest]

BMC has more class than valverde.

Valverde on his own has had more wins than Team BMC during its entire existence.

Unless we include Team Phonak, of course.

Class doesn't equal wins though. Cavendish has more wins than most but no class at all.
