Transfers and Rumours 2014 > 2015

[SafeBet]

Boom and Nibbles will go 1-2 in Roubaix next year. Just wait

I'm happy for Rosa, although he won't get many chances to ride for himself with Astana.

Aru, Landa and Rosa to do dominate the giro 15

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Is it when their fathers remarry`?

I honestly don't know. could be journalistic errors from their youth. solers parents never divorced as far as I know.

 

[Miburo]

That's a good transfer for Boom and Astana. Staying with teams like belkin and lotto feels like you're going backwards.

And astana also got LLS? Wow good transfer, this dude gives you guaranteed wins.

Rosa has done what is best for him; now he can also ride other WT-races next to the Giro, to learn at the highest level. I think he might develop like Vuillermoz did this year, also an ex-MTB rider of the same age.

Then Someone edited it back.

No they didn't: you must be looking at a cached version.

 

[Flamin]

Boom to Astana, I didn't see that one coming. But it's a good thing that more teams seem to put more focus on the cobble classics. Now Astana, and probably Tinkoff as well.

Also some very good signings from Cofidis.

 

[Afrank]

Lars Boom, Luis Leon Sanchez, Diego Rosa & Davide Malacarne join Astana

“Boom is a classics rider as well as a Grand Tour teammate, and won stage five this year at the Tour de France in conditions not seen on the pave in more than a decade -“

“Malacarne and Rosa are strong Italian riders who can help Fabio Aru in stage races -“

Also seemingly cofirming that Aru will stay. Really fantastic signings by Astana.

Some very nice signings, Astana seem to be cleaning up this transfer season thus far.

Boom will get a good opportunity to have a team committed entirely to him for the cobbles which is nice. He should do well next year having a guy like Nibs to support him.

 

[BigMac]

Oh no, bloody Kazakh money. Boom looked so good at Belkin. Not cool. Good moves for Diego and Malacarne though.

 

[RedheadDane]

No they didn't: you must be looking at a cached version.

Strange... I did the search directly from the front page (the one where you can select which language you want to use. If I go from the English page, however, it does indeed say 'Gomez'.
I rest my case and will now leave until I have something topic-related to add.

 

[The Hitch]

Yes, I think we all know that, but the rider we now know as Sebastián Henao Gómez was unveiled to the world earlier in his career as Sebastián Henao Marin.

Was 'Marin' always an administrative error, or a journalistic error that spread, or has something happened in the family to make them disassociate from that surname, or what?

interesting question

this happens all the time in colombia. for instance mauricio soler rodriguez bacem mauricio soler hernandez

And do you have an explanation for it?

 

[Samson]

Looks like Navarro has signed new contract with Cofidis. So no reunion with Contador.

Edet, Molard and Hardy also extended their contracts.

 

[Anderis]

CQ Ranking site says Danielson will retire after 2014, but last year Tom had said he had a contract with Garmin for 2015. Has situation changed since then? Anyone knows? Will he be the victim of Canondale merge?

 

[slosada]

Regarding Spanish names: We use:
first name - middle name (not always) - father's last name - Mother's last name

It's very unlikely that you change maternal family name because you usually grow with your mom.... That sometimes a mother wants to change father's lastname due to any issues between the current or past couple, it may happen and should follow a legal procedure. And it mostly happens during childhood...

Adults changing names? Seldom, but even more strange that someone would try to remove his/her maternal family name, when in our culture, mom and christian symbols are sacred.

What happened in both cases? Probably stupid journalists. Are you aware for example that "Larraondo" led the KOM during Giro?

Or that he was hired by Team Colombia?

 

[jens_attacks]

larraondo, i like it. it has a basque feeling

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Thank goodness. BMC were desperately lacking an Anglophone TTer pretending to be a GC man but clearly not good enough on the climbs.

7 figure sum contract per year or else

 

[JRanton]

I was just taking a look through the Garmin and Cannondale riders who are supposedly out of contract for next year and it's fair to say an awful lot of them will struggle to get a Pro-Conti contract never mind a World Tour one. A few exceptions including the likes of Dennis of course.

 

[JosephD]

Pro Cycling Stats are saying Tom Van Asbroeck has signed for Cannondale and Yves Lampaert has gone to Trek

 

[filipo]

Any chance the Alonso project merges with Garmin/cannondale?

They both keep blabbing on about "bringing F1 thinking to cycling," and both are pretty mum on transfers/acquisitions.

Just a thought.
