That isn't unprobable, as his manager A Mcquaid has some other Sky riders in his management.
Or it could be just a false rumour ofc, since Rohan Dennis's also managed by Trinity.

Why do promising young climbers have to go to a boring team like Sky :(

Uran, Henao, Froome and now Dombrowski......

Can't they get Kelderman or something, at least Kelderman is a good TTer, perfect for Sky, and it might cure him of Dutch falling disease.

Than Dombrowski can go to Liquigas-Cannondale, and ride aggresively.

Uran and Henao to Colderportes and ride aggresively....

Sky should be banned from signing any GC potential that is not a boring TTer type. :p

Since Dennis signed with Garmin, signing Dombrowski its not a real surprise. I guess Sky is also working hard to get Jungels. Who wouldnt like to have biggest promising GT riders in team ?

Rabo actually might end up with a decent finish to the season. Not that the rest has been good enough though. Not at all :)

No, you see, he is not boring, because I am Dutch.

TTer GC contenders who are just looking to limit time losses in the mountains are boring, unless they are Dutch. So Kelderman at Sky would be perfect, because he fits the boring tactics of Sky, but because he is Dutch, it won't annoy me. :)

They would have to start getting invites first, they need a bigger squad/more money, and better riders. They only have 3 riders capable of doing much. Plus they have no rouleurs etc, it would be a worse version of Eustakel. Not a good idea for Henao to go to.

According to Tour of Utah commentators Dombrowski have signed with Sky.

Please no, I really don't want to see a great climber like Dombrowski riding for Wiggins, it was bad enough seeing Froome ride for him. He should go to a team that needs a GC rider like OPQS or Liquigas. At least on those teams he would get more opportunities, Sky already has too many potential GC guys.

Riis said he turned down Fuglsang. Fuglsangs agent says his new team will probably be made official this week.

Riis fuming over pointsystem. He says he has contracted several riders but to avoid what happened to Fuglsang he will not make it official. He things the point system isnt working and suggests that the team and rider shares the points 50/50 same things I suggested a few days ago :p ). He is not the only one being unhappy about it and thay have adressed UCI about it, but without luck. He doesnt think the system will last in the long run though.

Any explanation why turning down?

50/50 would make much more sense than actual system.

Nope sadly not. But if I should take a guess he might not be able to offer him as much freedom as he wants and maybe not the $ he wants either.

Or Riis realised Fuglsang is just not good enough to win races and still won't domestique for other (better) riders.
