Vanbilsen & Van Asbroeck (both from Topsport) are going to Lotto-Belisol next year, rumours which are almost 100% already confirmed...

Well deserved step up to the WT for them and great additions for Lotto for the classics. Might not be allowed to get in the breaks so easily in a Lotto jersey though. Will van Bilsen add much to Greipel's sprint train for the rest of the season?

Latest from Beppe Conti;

-Team Sky is looking for an italian and are interested in Diego Rosa
-Lampre in interested in signing Coledan but very dissapointed with Pozzato under performing; his future with the italian team is not sure but he has other teams interested with even Boonen who would like to have him as a support role

Does anyone has any info on Carlos Galviz? Is he or is he not going to ride for Androni? When it was said he and Briceno signed a contract they said they were going to make their debute in Europe around this time a year.

Briceno his story is known but havent heared anything about Galviz since and he is currently riding the Volto de Rio Grande do Sul.

galviz is going to ride with savio. he succeeded all their testings. however savio is famous for being hater of south american riders so he just takes 2 million euros very year of venezuelan fed and then lies to them until they get angry and by that time he starts using their riders bit by bit and the same thing starts every season. just look at how jackson and ochoa got absued by letting them ride flemish races, gil didn't get to ride anything and went to vini

-Team Sky is looking for an italian and are interested in Diego Rosa

Can anyone tell me why Sky would be interested in Rosa? He doesn't have an awful lot in terms of results and I am well aware of Conti's tendency to talk rubbish.

 

[Gloin22]

23rd in his first ever Giro?

If that is not impressive, I don't know what is.

Ahh so they see him as stage race talent. Makes more sense to me now, thanks.

Does anyone reckon a WT team would take a punt on Sunny Colbrelli at Bardiani?

I sure hope so. The kid has done pretty darn well for himself so far this year.

Paoloni to Team Alonso next year.

Paoloni refused a renewal of his contract at Katusha and has an offer from Bettini.

Kristof apparently refused an offer to renew his contract at Katusha as well.

Surprising,room for Sagan then.

you mean Sagan to Katusha?

 

[Netserk]

Paolini to be Bettini's capitaine de route. Who would've thought...

Kristoff is under contract to Katusha for 2015: http://velonews.competitor.com/2013...nds-contract-with-katusha-through-2015_294553

beyond 2015 then?

 

[JRanton]

beyond 2015 then?

Yeah, must be.

Thinking about GC riders for Alonso's team, the best available seem to be Rui Costa and Betancur. Also Horner, who will be 43...

 

[ILovecycling]

you mean Sagan to Katusha?

yep, after Kristoff transfer to another team of course

 

[Dazed and Confused]

beyond 2015 then?

This is pro cycling. I can't see anybody doing negotiations with 2016 in mind at this point. Unless they break contracts via buyouts.

Alonso needs points and key riders for 2015 if he targets at WT license from the get go.

Tinkoff's cobbles team needs reinforcement in 2015 if they want to call themselves a top outfit.

Sagan is in play for sure.

 

[SafeBet]

During what was his first full year as a road rider.

 

[BigMac]

I wonder where Costa will end up next year. Cannot see him renewing his contract with Lampre.
