Transfers and Rumours 2012 > 2013

Actually a great signing by Saxo he brings in 82 points (maybe more if he wins again this year). To put that in perspective, Cobo and Moreno have 86, Visconti 85, Freire 84, Quintana 82, and Modolo 82. Great signing for Saxo.

It used to be Stuart O'Grady, now it will be Bennati.

I read on twitter that he even brings 103 points

 

[Christian]

That's a useless sign.

I think he still has potential if he stops racing like a sprinter, à la Hushovd for example

Bennati DNS tomorrow?!

 

[Alpehue]

Bennati to SBTB

Benna80 I have not signed any contract for next season, I'm considering some proposals, now my goal and focus on the Vuelta.

Interesting! Thats even better, I wonder if my other numbers are that off as well

Nicosix lists it as 103 but gives 30 points for his WT placing (82nd) but that should only give 10 points as far as I can see. http://nicosix.wordpress.com/2011/08/17/team-radioshack/

Just coming through on Twitter:

TourDeJose 10:34am via Echofon Mikel Nieve leaves Euskaltel and joins Alberto Contador at Saxo Bank according to @sergi_lopezegea

 

[Afrank]

Too bad Nieve isn't on the Vuelta team, he could have gotten some more points for Saxo. Good signing for Saxo though.

Just coming through on Twitter:

That would be incredibly awesome! One of my fave riders

 

[Forunculo]

Flo you must admit Roche+Nieve are better than Navarro

 

[LaFlorecita]

Flo you must admit Roche+Nieve are better than Navarro

Nieve alone is better than Navarro. And Jesus was awesome today so Dani won't be missed

[gustienordic]

I have to say, all of the signings from Saxo are very shocking! (minus Roche).

EDIT: And thats another ~50 points for Saxo (I think) just add two or three more and Saxo will be set!

 

[Fidolix]

So the good mr. Riis did have something in the goodie bag afterall

Nieve...wow incredible signing. Well done!

 

[Opalius]

It is definitely beginning to look better.

Add Breschel, Kreuziger + two of the other rumored riders, and then a final rabbit from the hat like Cancellara and SBTB are just about set.

Jens Voigt has renewed his contract with the team through the end of 2013. The 40 year-old German veteran announced his decision moments before the start of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge today in Durango, Colorado.

Bruyneel said that the Schlecks (or at least Andy) and Cancellara are not going to leave Radioshack in 2013


by the way, any news about MERIDA bikes for ASTANA in 2013 (instead of Specialized?)

 

[slim charles]

Nooo, Nieve I wanted him, Samu and Anton to stay at Euskaltel forever.

That means there will be a RSNT next year and that the Schlecklets will stay too

 

[pastronef]

yes, this is the first and most true confirmation about their future (who else but big JENS to let us know about it )
