Transfers and Rumours 2013 > 2014

[GuyIncognito]

Quintana and Sutterlin are both neo-pro so why they dont have any slots left ? Should be at least 2

They have slots, what they don't have is money.
That team has always had one of the lowest budgets in top level cycling.

That's why Indurain had weak support and lost time in TTTs, they couldn't afford both him and a good support squad

This year they have a budget boost making them not one of the poor teams for possibly the first time ever, but it's mostly gone into Quintana's raise.

Daivd De La Fuente extends with TORKU SEKERSPOR
I still wonder where Cobo will go

 

[Michele]

Matxin knows where Cobo will go.

 

[Afrank]

Enrique Sanz extends with Movistar. The team's roster is now complete for 2014 with 27 riders. Argiro Ospina leaves the team and there's no place for Luis Leon Sanchez.

What?!! I thought he was suppose to be one of the greatest of the current generation of Colombian super-talents. Even better then Quintana. Oh...wait, now I remember, it was Ryo who told us that.

 

[Netserk]

Matxin and Cobo to Lampre!!!1!!11!

(I hope)

 

[Flamin]

Willem Wauters (Vacansoleil) to Verandas Willems.

 

[Michele]

Isaac Bolivar and Carlos Alzate to United Health Care.

Really painful for Ospina. He only did 9 (!) race days, and after the Route du Sud they already knew he can't stand the WT level at all.

 

[GP Blanco]

Maurits Lammertink (Vacansoleil) back to his old continental team Cyclingteam Jo Piels.

[Wallenquist]

Still no news about Samu Sanchez ?

 

[Arredondo]

Still no news about Samu Sanchez ?

No, were rumours about Saxo, and lately Hilaire van der Schueren announced that he is looking for extra sponsors to finance the move of Samu to his team. However, that look's more like a media-stunt, instead of a serious attempt.

 

[RedheadDane]

Alex Rasmussen and Jonas Aaen to Riwal

Could easily become one of my favorite teams to follow in 2014.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Aww no Petrov? Back to Torku I guess.

Or Portugal, he's got a lot of history there. At Törku he did the Volta, and after the rest day he was the only rider left on the team!

His countryman should be back for that.

 

[42x16ss]

Could easily become one of my favorite teams to follow in 2014.

Certainly worthy of an invite to the Vuelta and the Spanish WT races. Will be great to se them in action, no shortage of attacking riders.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

What?!! I thought he was suppose to be one of the greatest of the current generation of Colombian super-talents. Even better then Quintana. Oh...wait, now I remember, it was Ryo who told us that.

I'm starting to think it was just Ryo trolling the CQ game
