Eugert Zhupa to Neri Sottoli for 2 years.

His best result to date is the 9th place in the Paris - Roubaix Espoirs in 2011.

no, it's not, just two or three weeks ago he won the Trofeo Citta' di Conegliano. Also other races earlier on his year

So Sky is now full unless someone leaves.

Roche, Poels, Nordhaug & Viviani are pretty much confirmed so no space for Konig. Pate or Knees might retire and Sutton might go to Orica.

dombrowksi will surly leave and maybe also sutton I imagine

I think he should go to Wanty - Groupe Gobert, back with Hilaire Van Der Schueren. He should be a good fit there.

maybe so, but Wanty might not be able to pay him?

lol viviani at team sky....that's so lame for team sky if true

Sky Italia needs to be kept happy, he will add something different than Swift for Sprints and probably has some clause about being able to ride the track which he might not get elsewhere

Zhupa's most impressive performance, though, might be finishing second in an Italian race, riding for Trevigiani Dynamon Bottoli, while under contract with another team, Christina Watches. Now, that's alternative!

You can also check out http://www.cyclingdatabase.com they do a lot of Belgium races as well (+international). You can also see the results from U13, U15, U17, junior races etc and just like on PCS you can click the rider and check out all his/her results.

uh yeah it does :eek:

Giro: Konig, Siutsou, Cataldo, Nordhaug, Seb Henao, Kiryienka, Puccio, Eisel, Viviani

Tour: Froome, Roche, Konig, Poels, Nieve, Porte, Ser Henao, Kennaugh, Thomas

Vuelta: Roche, Nieve, Kiryienka, Earle, Poels, Stannard, Ser Henao, Rowe, Viviani


out of all these only froome makes millions, konig hasn't even signed yet but still wouldn't make that much and the rets of the time are all pretty cheap relatively. look at movistar who have quintana and valverde who combined make more money then the entire sky line-up here.

maybe not millions but wheras other teams can sign 3 of these riders some teams can sign 8 or 9. cycling as a team sport until the finish line is a bit boring.

EBH leaving and Wiggo's likely much smaller deal freed up a fair amount of Sky's budget which is something to keep in mind.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/viviani-close-to-joining-team-sky-in-2015

Viviani, Roche, Konig, Poels, Nordhaug to Sky and now for fantasy GT teams:

Giro: Konig, Siutsou, Cataldo, Nordhaug, Seb Henao, Kiryienka, Puccio, Eisel, Viviani

Tour: Froome, Roche, Konig, Poels, Nieve, Porte, Ser Henao, Kennaugh, Thomas

Vuelta: Roche, Nieve, Kiryienka, Earle, Poels, Stannard, Ser Henao, Rowe, Viviani

I'm wondering more about the classics where Sky do pretty poor.

Viviani will certainly be a better sprint choice than Sutton.

I thought Konig wanted to be team leader and win the Tour ???

Also what chances are there for Porte if all these riders turn up....

If I were Konig I'd go where I had more chances of leadership....Trek, BMC,Lotto etc

Then how is it that Movistar have about one third of the budget Sky have?
