Does Talansky have a contract for next year? Also wondering if Porte's finally snapped and wants to lead at a GT, not at Sky?

Well Porte got sick and was meant to lead Giro. So it's not like Sky didnt give him the chance...

And anyway, he has contract so it can't happen.

So Matt White says that Orica will announce in a few weeks time the signing of a Grand Tour rider...Evans?

"A GT rider", not "A GT winner".

Could be anybody. Almost...

Menchov or Cobo surely...

Also Basso to Tinkoff? About time he got serious, though not a great omen with Stelvio coming up...

Except he didn't say that at all, it's the media twisting it on a slow news day.

He actually said 'We'll be talking to a Grand Tour contender over the next weeks and if it goes well we might have an announcement later in the year'

Where is this buzz coming from? Basso and Bjarne BFFs?

RoboBasso and AC to destroy the peloton in the tour 15 :eek:

I´m just saying: Kreuziger, Roche, Majka, Basso, Rogers :eek: and only Tinkov and God know who else he signs further. The tour 2015 - ? Will be a massacre.

Dan Craven taking his beard to Europcar to ride the Vuelta! Great addition to the team. I think a couple years back they gave him a verbal agreement that if they ever moved up to WT then they you give him a chance.

Very good news. Adds a bit of color to the race.

I imagine Evans is taking quite the pay cut for next year. Looks like he'll struggle to stay top 10 at theis stage.

Is he any good or just a PR thing?

He will make Horner look like an amateur...

Mainly PR, but I like him off the bike. Interesting perspective, able to communicate etc.

We are talking break action if not just bottle service.

He may beg to differ of course.

**** no. If they let him go I'll be so ****ed off that I don't know what i'll do to the neighbours dog...

you'll see Kiserlovski signing for Trek as a joke between friends :D

I don't know how could Aru fit himself in an english speaking and different team.
Ok, they have Cataldo, Puccio, and an Italian soigneur. but I think this is just a rumor.
Although I wouldn't mind seeing him at SKY

Riis is interested in signing Magnus Cort for 2015, but again, who isn´t.
Garmin tried to lure him with a contract last year but he very maturely decided to take another year as continental rider.

I think Riis have a good chance, Cort´s very good friend and former room mate Michael Valgren signed a 3 year contract with Riis last year and loves it on the team, so I would say its just formalia and the signing a reality, I would love to see him on the pro tour.

Aru to Sky still on then?

I don't think Astana will let him go now.

That would be very bad for cycling. But I wouldnt worry to much about it, SKY isn´t really a dream team for an Italian.
