Transfers and Rumours 2012 > 2013

[Fidolix]

Astana starting to look scary, hope they can be a worthy contender to team SKY. If Froomy leaves SKY it would look pretty equal.

It´s not a statement, it´s an opinion, or hypothesis if you will... look it up!
And because you found out how stupid your earlier comments really are, theres no need to continue down the same road. I don´t think it impress anybody.

Its funny how everyone thinks that Kreuziger will go to Saxo. I'm sure Bakala would be happy to pay extra to have him riding for QuickStep. With all this latest team nationalism it should be a no brainer for Czech billionaire to have the best Czech rider on his team.

I think it will depend on where Fuglsang goes. If he goes to OPQS.Kreuziger will definitely go to Saxo.

Maybe he already heard it, and that´s the reason he stopped all talk with Riis, can´t see a Roche signing alone would make him give up the idea riding for Saxo...

Who knows.

Nahh Sky is too strong; so they signed Nibali and Iglinsky. big deal

Saxo imo has the best shot of bringing down the men in black.

Relax bro', he was merely stating his opinion.

Don't know if this has been posted:

Geniez rumored to join Cofidis. Geniez + Taaramae + Coppel will be a formidable combination!

 

[Samson]

Taaramäe confirmed that he has extended hos contract witg Cofidis for another 2 years. He also hinted that Cofidis has hired one strong climber and another guy who has won several (stage) races this year.

Don't know if this has been posted:

Taaramäe wrote in his blog that Sanquer has big plans and that's one of the reasons (he also mentioned that Cofidis is like his family [enter aww smiley]) he extended with Cofidis. Maybe Geniez is the one that is supposed to help him in mountains?

What are the chances Cofidis becoming WT team again in next year if the likes ofn Geniez, Fredrigo (who's also in rumours) maybe also joining and with Coppel and Hardy already signed?

Decent, especially since Huta is joining as well.

Cofidis is bringing in a load of riders, but so is saxo, and europcar looks like it will be close as well.

The things that are going to help Cofidis however are that Guardini (maybe) and Roche are joining Saxo, so its getting rid of two top scorers for potential competition. Plus all the FDJ guys who are jumping ship Just hopefully FDJ & Cofidis both will be WT.

Good to see Kessiakoff benefitting from his nice riding the past 2 years. Things could have easily gone downhill after his disasterous year at Garmin with fatigue and injury. And he gets a nice pay increase as well which I'm sure was very welcome. He was probably on a pretty cheap contract when he first signed with Astana.

only the best for my main man Kess

 

[Eric8-A]

It will be interesting to see the teams from Astana and Saxo Bank for next year since those two team seem to be strengthening their rosters.

Rohan Dennis signs on with Vaughters, I know this guy is a huge talent but what type of rider do you think he ends up to be in the big time. Would maybe Taylor Phinney be a good comparison.

I think Dennis is actually Australia's next big star of the future along with Durbridge. I do not think Rohan is a rider like Phinney but instead a guy who could climb.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Anyone know where Kloden will ride next year if Radioshack finish up? Or is it just retirement? I wouldn't mind seeing him at Greenedge

 

[The Hitch]

Its all very nice saying that history says that Saxo are right up there but Roche isnt transfering back in time

they currently don't have Contador. Tomorrow they do. Yeah we cant predict the future but is it that much of a stretch to suggest they might be a lot stronger once they have the best rider in the world compared to the same team only without him.

And potentially the 2nd best rider in the world as well.

 

[The Hitch]

Roche said in the article he might get some leadership positions in other races. He looked really good in Suisse, at the beginning anyway, peaking for that and challenging there ala costa this year or levi last year (if the course is right), could do him a world of good and leave him in good enough form to be a key dom for Contador 3 weeks later.

 

[Fidolix]

Here´s a phone interview with Roche, talking about Olympics and the transfer to Saxo, interesting is he states that not only Contador will be a big name for the grand tours, but more big names will join the team, and it will be a very strong team in the future.
