Transfers and Rumours 2013 > 2014

[Afrank]

Well, what I linked is from OPQS's official site. I don't know if that Mundo Ciclistico site has some kind of inside information; but for now at least I would trust OPQS when they say he has signed with them.

Edit:
Last few tweets from him, on the 1st

I read in the news that I signed up for the OFQS, I feel the need to clarify that I have not signed with any team yet.

On the 3rd

In a few days I will announce my new team for the 2014 season. Very happy about it! Now to finish my big year with the @ TeamJamisHB

And that report from OPQS was on the 1st, so maybe he hasn't signed yet, will have to wait and see.

crossing fingers for GARMIN

 

[trevim]

Andre Cardoso, 29 years old portuguese climber riding for Caja Rural, to Garmin seems like a strong rumour. He can probably support Martin/Hesjedal/Talansky in stage races and he can also give a hand in hilly classics like Liege, Lombardia because he has a decent engine.

Now confirmed in Garmin's team for next year:
[It's a good source in cycling news, not so much to know which players will go to Benfica ]

Bakelants in negotiations with Lotto.

Lotto's really improving their climbing squad with guys like Monfort and Gallopin. With those guys plus Bakenlants, if they get him, they could potentially be much more a force in the Giro and Vuelta.

Is Alain Gallopin going there as well?

 

[Afrank]

Don't think so, iirc I read something a while back that he was staying on with Radioshack.

Definitely adds much needed depth to the team. There are a lot of guys in this year's team who just aren't good enough for world tour level.

That would be quite a fail from Lefevere, if true. Although Lefevere said something like 'to me, a word is a word'. Maybe to Acevedo it isn't

isaac bolivar to united healthcare appearantly.

lefevere is lying when he's breathing. I don't trust any word he says. I hope acevedo goes to garmin, uran will be p***ed though. then he will have to get cano or some other antioquian

 

[Lexman]

Boris Varlee (20) to Lotto-Belisol

Wow that is very surprising. I would have thought that he would join Argos or something like that.

Me too but Movistar seem to be hungry for rouleurs this year after the lost time at the Tour due to echelons.

Malori had not signed a contract with Movistar. Maybe he stays at Lampre after all.

that has absolutely nothing to do with it

They'd better be looking for a new wheel supplier then

 

[GP Blanco]

Lotto-Belisol signed another young Belgian, Stig Broeckx who is currently riding for the team as a trainee.

 

[CycloAndy]

Malori had not signed a contract with Movistar. Maybe he stays at Lampre after all.

I wasn't aware of that, thought they had gone on a binge for rouleurs/ TT specialists. I assumed they thought they were a bit climber heavy and thought a rouleur or two might help reduce the risk of such devastating time losses reoccurring.

Love it, a new wheel supplier would be a great solution.

I welcome reasoned opposing opinions Ryo...when given?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Me too but Movistar seem to be hungry for rouleurs this year after the lost time at the Tour due to echelons.

Also bearing in mind that Lastras and Gutiérrez, two of their biggest engines for that type of stage and who have been with Unzué since time immemorial, are advancing in age and will probably not be around too much longer.

Gallopin already signed a contract with Lotto, some time ago.

That post was a reply about his uncle Alain Gallopin.

What's that have to do with his transfer to Lotto?
