Transfers and Rumours 2013 > 2014

[Netserk]

Saxo has fifteen days to find some cash and sign some riders otherwise there out of the Protour. That's some talent that might become available the problem for these guys should the worst happen is getting a contract this late.

AFAIK that is simply not true. They have to December to field 23 riders.

Time is starting to get tight for Riis. He must send the team's dossier for the 2014 season to the UCI by October 20, which must include not only the bank guarantee but the names of all riders for the coming season. As a WorldTour team he must have a minimum of 23 riders on his roster, and he currently has only 16 riders under contract for the coming year.

Read a little more in the original article....

Senest 1. december skal holdet mønstre 23 ryttere.

 

[Le Baroudeur]

AFAIK that is simply not true. They have to December to field 23 riders.

Do you also read the UCI rules 2.15.049 as meaning that the current roster is valid until 30th December whereupon new contracts would need to supplant existing expiring ones?

2.15.049...
...Each UCI ProTeam must employ at least 23 riders, 2 sports directors and 8 other staff (paramedical assistants, mechanics, etc.) on a full time basis for the whole registration year.

According to Cycling Quotient, Farrar will stay at Garmin.

[Liquigas]

For team's sake I hope he stays only as a helper as his sprinting career is sadly over.

 

[Anderis]

He won two sprint stages this year (one of them today in Tour de l'Eurométropole) and got a couple of top5 finishes in Vuelta. It's not like Garmin have much better options for sprints. Maybe Von Hoff, but they're pretty much about the same now IMO. The team will be no longer built around him for most important races, though. Vaughters admitted, that the goal for next year will be stage races (especially GTs) and hilly classics and he wants his GC riders to have a proper support, unlike it has been until now (therefore new signings of riders like Slagter, Acevedo, Cardoso, Gaimon and King). But Farrar still may find himself leading the team on occassion.

He is delusional and trolling for IPO attention... Unsurprisingly they don't want him. Riders accross the peloton are dreading his arrival and looking for lifeboats... Hopefully City investors will have some sense and feel the same way.

That's press talk.

If Riis fails to find co sponsor, riders will leave. As tinkov pointed in his later tweets.

That's horse talk, salaries are covered as pointed out by a far more reliable LSC, and doesn't change the fact that they don't want him, despite him saying they were joining.

Boo! Tinkoff pulls his money from the team potentially putting it in danger of going away and now he wants to steal some of their best riders. Please Oleg, stay away from our sport.

Very glad that Majka at least wants to stay at Saxo. Without a doubt the best team for him considering the season he's had with them.

Pierre-Henri Lecuisinier signs with FDJ.fr, even though he was up until now stagiaire at Europcar and had a verbal agreement on a neo-pro contract with the team. "This is treason, since two years we've had plans with him. I am disgusted" said team manager Jean-René Bernaudeau to Ouest France.

Anton's still looking for a team and I know Sky, Astana and Garmin have shown interest.

Would love him at Sky although he may want more than just a super-dom role.

Anton at Sky would be ridiculous but they do only have one spot left which must surely be for a classics rider.
