Transfers and Rumours 2012 > 2013

[dlwssonic]

Great buy for BMC. Daniel oss is a very strong rider.

 

[Fidolix]

I wonder if Stijn Devolder would be an interest to Riis, it´s the kind of rider he likes, a rider who´s light years from earlier performances, he can TT and he is without contract for the 2013 season, Hilaire Van der Schueren isn´t to keen to renew his contract with Vacansoleil.

Matti seems to be signing for Riis, Nyuens implied it in an interview last night and said they would be a strong duo for the classics. He also wanted to renew with Riis.
If this would be true, Saxo could present a very strong cobble squard:
Matti
Nuyens
Devolder
Tosatto
Mørkøv
Klostergaard
Jonas Aaen
Mads Christensen
maybe Cantwell if he get renewed.
Not a bad team at all.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Andy will probably take two years off to mourn if Fränk gets suspended.

And Cancellara?

 

[Fidolix]

And Cancellara?

He´s a big question... and very exspensive.
But I think he would be interested if RSN pulls the plug.

A wet dream I would call it.

It is so funny, last year I didn't know who I would pick for the Tour team because they were all equally bad, maybe next year there'll be too many great cyclists on the team

 

[bjaelkesex]

Vino only wants Andy in.

Andy doesn't want to part with his brother.

Talks are ended.

Says L'Equipe, according to some twitter.

Astana desperate for a new captain (according to L'Equipe):

the Inner Ring ‏@inrng
L'Equipe links Cavendish with a move to Omega-Quickstep + Froome to Astana, says Kazakh team ready to buy out Froome from Sky contract.

Well, Riis talked about a number: 5 - 10 new riders this season...
But knowing how Riis performed the last 2 years in the transfer, my guess would be more like 5 and probably not more. Even that he got the funds.
I won´t put my expectations to high.

 

[CasperVg]

Devolder will definately leave Vacansoleil, RSNT is said to be interested in him. Also Flecha rumoured to take Devolder's place in Vasc, according to Het Nieuwsblad

Is anyone not signing for Astana next year, apart from Cav?

I wonder what will Andy do once the Frank is banned... at the end of the day, this Frank's mess could be good for Andy to finally part his racing ways with his brother.

How can RSNT be interested in any one. And how can any one be interested in moving there. Team is collapsing.

Yesterday Guardini was a guest at Rai and confirmed that he's in talk with Saxo.

If Haedo rode those ****ty little stages same would happen...

Winning in Langkawi and Quinghi Lake.... very similar to riding in WT ..

Maybe you should check what you are talking about first mate

Haedo:
Ster ZLM Toer GP Jan van Heeswijk - 107 Juan José Haedo, + 17.21

Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey:
stage 1: 176. Juan José Haedo, + 0.00
stage 2: 16. Juan José Haedo, + 0.00
stage 3: 122. Juan José Haedo + 13.13
stage 4: 87. Juan José Haedo + 1.27
etc etc

but if you mean they are anything similar, congrats mate.

Haedo took a podiukm at Tour this year. Won at Vuelta last year. Won at Tirreno.

Yes ? He can produce as good results at Guardini.

magic word here is DID.

He haven´t produced shyt last 2 years, 4 vics in total, for a sprinter.... including 2.1 HC races and below. So in your eyes he produces as well as Guardini??
Ok mate, stay with the trolls!

last 2 years Guardini had 21 victories, hell even Cantwell had more victories this year than JJ, 3 x times more, do the math.

We'll see what Guardini shows at WT No doubt he has talent, but he won't be contesting much with his ability to climb.

One Quaranta stage in the Giro and he justifies his place on the team, simples.

His win there was great there - I agree. But he didn't show much in between though, although he'll definitely be good addition - he mostly will not contest stages in WT races that feature some hills.

 

[Ferminal]

Haedo got his Vuelta win on a plate from Unipublic, Guardini actually beat his rivals and showed his immense potential.

Potential top3 sprinter > third-tier sprinter.

 

[SafeBet]

Plus, age 23 > age 31.
