Transfers and Rumours 2013 > 2014

[Kompakt]

Garmin next year...(Added a few new names from my previous post)
Any other names been mentioned as out?

In
Ben King
Phil Gaimon
Tom-Jelte Slagter
Nathan Brown
Lasse Norman Hansen
Dylan van Baarle
Andre Cardoso
Janier Acevedo?
Glenn O'Shea?

Out
VandeVelde
Maaskant
Peter Stetina
Tyler Farrar?
Robbie Hunter
Alex Rasmussen?
David Zabriskie?

Klier retired earlier this season which leaves another place up for graps if they want to have 30 riders.

Procyclingstats also have these riders listed as running out of contract:
Danielson
Michel Kreder
Morton
Haas
Howes
Rathe
Fairly
Rosseler

Morton should definately get at new contract after his impressive performances at Colorado and Utah.
Howes has also showed he's a promising rider espically at this year's Tour of Poland and he rode a decent Worlds.

Michel Kreder is a weird rider, just as you think he's about to have his major breakthrough he's absolutely nowhere to be seen in the finals. His brother has a contract at Garmin for the next year so perhaps he'll get an extension.

Danielson is past it but could be a capatin for the american races while Rosseler is definately past it and I can't see him get a new contract.

Haas, Rathe and Fairly hasn't anything of notice but maybe Vaughters believes they can develop further.

I don't think O'Shea is going to get a contract for 2014.

You forgot Langeveld. He is confirmed to join.

I would rather trust Cycling Quotient on who has the valid contract for 2014 and who is not:
http://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/transfers.asp

I've read Fairly is definetely staying (he confirmed he has a contract for 2014 in an interview) and procyclingstats claims Farrar has a contract for 2014 while I've read from other source he hasn't been offered an extension and isn't signed anywhere, yet. Both Kreders should be staying as well.

Martijn Keizer from Vacansoleil is also rumoured to be in negotiation with Garmin.

Whatever, it seems they're getting more and more climbers. If we are to trust Cycling Quotient, they've kept everybody who can climb apart from Vande Velde and Stetina. Slagter, Cardoso, Gaimon, King and Brown are all to join (the last three are relatively unproven, but definetely more climbers than sprinters or classic riders), Acevedo should join as well based on recent news and they've also expressed interest in Anton and De Gendt.

I wonder what is going on with Navardauskas. According to CQ, he hasn't extended his contract, yet. No doubt he is useful rider, made a huge progress this year (his performance during Giro was impressive) and it seems Vaughters likes him (he took him for TdF2011 and it was some kind of surprise, he was some kind of "no name" then). On the other hand, I believe other teams may be interested in him so maybe he will get a better offer and decides to sign elsewhere.

Right! Missed that one, added to my post. Thanks!

Who's looking at the Sojasun riders?

 

[b.broadhurst]

Is Nieve to Sky confirmed? Alot of websites have him as a transfer in for sky

 

[search]

Who's looking at the Sojasun riders?

are there more than a handful of people on here who are able to name any Sojasun riders apart from Hivert, Simon, Feillu and maybe Engoulvent without looking that up?!

so, no, as sad as it is, I guess for the most of them it will be very hard to get a proper deal for next year

 

[roundabout]

Delaplace, Vuillermoz, Mederel, Jeandesboz, Le Lay and so on.

But I get it, they are not Colombian where every mediocre rider gets a mention

Cyril Lemoine would be another...I think he and Simon were rumored to Cofidis. And then I think Engoulvent is moving to Europcar.

So, with the various teams ending after this year, are there just going to be a lot of guys moving down to Continental level or even retiring?

Your uncle should know more about that than we do.

As far as I know it has not been confirmed yet.

In Colombia every mediocre rider could potentially be a Tour winner.

At least, that's what all those teams think who suddenly want to sign random Colombians.

Morton should definately get at new contract after his impressive performances at Colorado and Utah.

Morton should be going into to his second year of his neopro contract, so surprised that anyone has him listed as being out of contract.

 

[Arredondo]

Hilaire van der Schueren managed to form a new team. Wanty, co-sponsor of Accent-Jobs Wanty, is going to become the main sponsor of a new Procontinentel squad. The co-sponsor isn't announced yet.

Riders who are going to ride with the new team are Leukemans, Drucker, Selvaggi, and most likely Flecha (who makes clear to Hilaire that he really wants to ride one year with his new team).

He is under negotiation with Feillu, Marczynski, Hoogerland, and really wants to hold Mol, Wesley kreder, Lindeman and Lammertink. Van Hummel had a verbal agreement with team Alonso, but there is a chance he's going to join the team also.

De Gendt (too expensive) and Marcato (Cannondale) are not going to join the new squad.
