Source?
And i dont want to hijack this transfers thread so maybe you could explain in the Rujano one, but, best talent of the last 30 years? I mean i like the guy and hope he can maybe even win a gt some day, but really?
I there any strength in the rumour that Dowsett is going to BMC and that Stannard is off too?

Stannard is under contract.
Meanwhile, Dowsett was indeed rumoured to leave. And he will very likely do so indeed.

whoever worked with rujano have said this. doctors, trainers and directors (savio, lefevre). and he's worked under farnese with the same trainer who trained contador and basso for instance.
unzue wants quintana in tour and vuelta. not the giro as they don't care for the giro and it's the gt that suits quintana the least

he's been a failure. no surprising considering all he is is an itt guy. same with sergent and other bs talents that radioshack have developped in recent years
Then again, who isn't a failure in Ryo Hazuki's eyes
Dowsett isn't bad. Won a few races in his first pro year, got top-10 in the Worlds ITT in his second... that's decent for a young rider. I think he could actually be pretty useful in the Wiggo train, albeit on the flatter parts.

the wiggo train will be obsolete after this year. we already saw that in this years vuelta when it faced real climbers
Tbh, Sky seemed to expected more from him. He's bit one - dimensional, decent TT'er, decent domestique, but that's it. He has potential to be decent.
However, Dowsett is decent enough to be in any WT squad. Can nugde good result here or there. And he's been out most of this season anyway, so couldn't show his best really.

Because of my sarcasm?

Well, I thought you were actually being serious there. Usually people put a smilie after sarcastic comment. My bad!
Ryo Hazuki said:
I would like a source for that. Rujano and Contador have never had the same trainer or physiologist, not even close. The same for Basso, as far as I know.

I believe this is still unofficial. Primož Roglič is going to Adria Mobil.
The guy has a really interesting story. He used to be a ski jumper, but quitted the sport after that nasty fall on the biggest hill at the time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8kSNVxtdwI . He started training cycling 2 years ago and was a solid amateur rider in his first year, but this year he literally won all the important amateur races in Slovenia. He was tested by Adria Mobil and produced great numbers so they didn't hesitate to offer him a contract. He is 23 years old. I am really interested to see what a talented athlete who started with serious training so late will be able to do.
