Transfers and Rumours 2013 > 2014

[auscyclefan94]

I'll ignore Ryo's typical failed comments on Evans and say that it is absurd that BMC is not resigning Mathias Frank. Simply crazy stuff.

 

[spalco]

I"m sure sky doesn't even want wiggins anymore.

Then he'll retire, or try to go to the Olympics one last time.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Then again, OPQS have Kwiatkowski and it seems to be working pretty well for him.

Uran is wise to cash in at this moment, we see now what beating Evans in the Giro was worth: nothing. Evans is past it.

uran didn't just beat evans. but never mind talking to a blind hater on this. evans was one of the worst riders in the giro as well. look no futher then the final mountainstage and the mountain itt. that was the real evans. if nothing was canceled evans would've finished around 15th in giro as well

Froome agrees 3 year deal with Sky.

Nonsense. You were hoping Evans would finish 15th. One of the worst riders finishes third ? Blind haters for Colombians only. Makes sense. You still haven't recovered from Evans winning the Tour. Still think Quintana is the best climber in the race ? Tunnel vision is a wonderful quality.

What's the story of Quintana's brother ? read in CN that MOV are signing the 22 yo.

 

[ingsve]

Norwegian talent Sondre Holst Enger has at least 5 pro teams interested in him. His trainer Atle Kvålsvoll (who also trains Hushovd) was at the Tour talking to a couple of teams about Engers future. Reportedly two of the teams interested are Belkin and FDJ.

Is he any good?

 

[Gloin22]

Did okay in latest U23 Madrid race from what I saw.

I think he's not anywhere his brother potential, but could well be better than average climber for sure if not more.

 

[Billie]

Yonger brother generally is better: Sagan, Schleck, Izagirre

 

[Panda Claws]

You can't get much better than Nairo.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

lol, indeed.

But seriously this man needs to be picked up by somebody, if EUS drops out or down.

 

[ElChingon]

How about Indurian's, Jalabert's, Haedo (I know reaching on the last one), but my bad example of better younger brothers.

Indurain, Chavanel, Osa, Haedo, Richeze, Iglinskiy?

Is he any good?

he´s pretty good, nairo says he´s really good of course. he didn´t really take cycling very sriously until late last year, he was always a talent, was also in boyacan track team, unlike nairo who never did track. he´s bit different rider. bigger, more sprinter and explosive(bit itt) like, of course also a climber, but in general much more allround with a lot less talent imo, but this is in no way a juraj sagan though. he also looks completely different from nairo

He worked as a police officer for more than a year, because of obligations set by his team. This impeded his training and progress a lot, but you can hardly say he didn't take it seriously.

Grivko, Gaspa, Maxim and Westra to tear the race apart on the flatter/hilly sections

 

[all_in]

Grivko, Gaspa, Maxim and Westra to tear the race apart on the flatter/hilly sections

I don't think all of them will make Astana squad for TdF.Probably one of Gaspa or Maxim will be out.Nibali,Brajko or Fuglsang,Kangert,Kessiakoff,Grivko,Westra,Vanotti,Iglinsky,Angoli.This is the best team for Nibali imo.Kessiakoff,Westra,Kangert,Grivko and Westra are great rouleurs.Also they can climb.Vanotti and Agnoli are Nibali best friends,Iglisnky is very useful in hilly stages and Brajko or Fuglsang to be something like Kreuziger this year.

Need another top climber singing me thinks, Birdsong for Giro and Brajko is VERY unstable to say it mildly. Rolland would be a nice signing for example
Of course if Aru continues to improve he would do a great job.

according to nairo he didn't take it seriously and barely trained. I take his words more serious and also officially dayer may be police officer but in reality they are all full time pro's, the boyacan police for instance sponsored them. no colombian rider has a job basiclaly. it's all cycling from very young age

Unai Osa was better than Aitor, though. They were very close I guess.
