Transfers and Rumours 2013 > 2014

[Ruudz0r]

They were too hesitant with that guy at Rabo, he could've been pro this year already, he showed much potential. But I wonder if he knows that he's practically signed for a PCT team, while he belongs in the WT.

If I remember correctly he didnt want to turn pro yet last year. There was certainly 1 guy at Rabo development team that didnt want to turn pro yet (and I dont see who else it can be then Olivier)

Van Baarle.

 

[Arnout]

those programs have nothing to do with journalism. voetbal international for instance has mostly very bad journalists as well. the magazine

Yeah when I see those guys in the tv programme I am always face palming

 

[jens_attacks]

beppe conti:

alejet may be back at the tour de france already, lead-out man or for sagan or for cavendish.or he may stop

trek to be the nr 1 sponsor for a team with cancellara,santambroggio

today the d day for di luca and giro d'italia. acqua e sapone backs him and might become the 3rd name of the team. if this will happen, di luca, miholjevic and codol will be in the vini fantini line up for il giro

well I think the program is great voetbal international for humor and also when they talk about football is ok. but their joiurnalists are horrible. they are always out on sensationalist things that everybody already knows and aren't sensational at all.

New team or built on Radioshack remains?

Would be nice if it weren't all bicycle brands becoming main sponsor.

Hmm so then it would be:
Di Luca
Miholjevic
Codol
Santambrogio
Garzelli
Rabottini
Gatto
Taborre/Chicci/Monsalve and 2 out of these 3 I guess. Would be a nice team, although its still a nice team without Di Luca (and Miholjevic + Codol)

So the Mapei so called come back blew up already? Cancellara and Samtambrogio, strange combination, this rumour of Beppe Conti needs more names. I'm curious what will happen with the other RadioShack riders.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

beppe conti is so delusional, I wonder how many ketamine he uses a day

 

[jens_attacks]

maybe grande spezialetti will come back to ride il giro for danilo too

man none of these rumours won't happen. still beppe conti ftw!

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

The Di Luca rumor was dead-*** accurate.

[jens_attacks]

omfg omfg

yey

killer will be at the worlds!
a giro win at pescara would be sublime too
an abruzzo team without di luca would make no sense for me

He was leading the peloton on the Mortirolo last year so not bad. One of the most well rounded, consistent and underrated domestiques of the past few years.

 

[afpm90]

According to Gazzeta dello Sport, Omega Pharma-Quick Step has made a deal with Petacchi for him to be Cavendish leadout men in the Giro. Only the rules by UCI are on the way of making the transfer official.

[RHRH19861986]

... underrated domestiques of the past few years.

Not for people who really follow cycling seriously. Spezialetti is part of a list alongside Codol or Miholjevic, who really earned a reputation as long time solid domestiques.

Those two would be unstoppable. The competition at the Giro will not be the hardest possible, either. Gavazzi might even be the no. 2 guy in the race as I haven't seen much from Goss or Degenkolb in a while.

 

[kingjr]

Goss outsprints Gavazzi any day, Degenkolb too probably. But you're right, they'll most likely only sprint for second place anyways.

 

[search]

there are just two sprint stages Cavendish can (and propably will) win: stage 1 and stage 6. I don't expect him to be still around for the final stage. So it does not really matter if he has Petacchi or not

 

[taiwan]

Meh I'm just amusing myself by guessing the current pecking order of these sprinters. Actually Bouhanni is there so maybe

Cav
Bouhanni
Degenkolb
Gavazzi
Goss

Chicchi.
Where would you put him?

...
Goss
Ferrari
Chicchi

just to make this clear, it is Mattia Gavazzi you are talking about being a better sprinter than Goss and Ferrari?! Francesco is not doing the giro.

Ferrari might not make the list...(just my guess)

Yup. I think he's going to go better. Francesco needs a selective race I'm talking aboug flat sprints.

 

[notrolfsorensen]

Both Uran and Henao have signed for QuickStep in 2014

Will be announced post TdF

Do anybody know if there is any truth to this rumour?
