Transfers and Rumours 2014 > 2015

[MellowJohnny]

Anyone for Carter Jones?

 

[l.Harm]

Eleven confirmed.

GESINK Robert
HOFLAND Moreno
KELDERMAN Wilco
KRUIJSWIJK Steven
LEEZER Tom
MARKUS Barry
MARTENS Paul
TEN DAM Laurens
VAN DER LIJKE Nick
VANMARCKE Sep
LINDEMAN Bert-Jan
Keizer said he had an offer for two years
And of course riders like Goos, Van Emden and Flens will most likely renew their contracts.

Tankink as well I assume

 

[Jancouver]

Now they just need to sign a top tier sprinter. Goss should be available.

Seriously I think they have a good base team. Quite a few riders should be without contract as the season comes to a close, capture a couple without paying the ranch.

Goss is a top tier sprinter?
Hahaha! Good one!
I didnt laugh so hard in a while.

Perhaps that is the reason he scored only 61 CQ points so far in 2014.

 

[theyoungest]

Hopefully Gatto and/or Marcato. It seems also that Vansummeren is out of contract and because of the merger spots are scarce at Cannondale-Garmin he could be an addition for them.

That's all not very likely. The new sponsors are only interested in the Dutch market, so they'll focus on Dutch riders.

Problem is, there aren't that many good Dutch riders left to sign. Poels was one, but he's too expensive/didn't want to come. Thomas Dekker maybe?

yea, even transition Tyler looks like a super star in comparison.
Also available I think.

Anyone for Carter Jones?

I would like him in WT team. I thought about Garmin, but that Canondale merge left them short with free spots for new riders.

Actually Goss & Farrar combo could work.
Farrar is bad at positioning and Goss doesnt have the speed but Goss leading out Farrar could score some TOP10s.

 

[Lexman]

I can't remember if it was mentioned but Yves Lampaert joins OPQS next season, or EQS as it will be called...

It was mentioned. But thanks for the reminder. I'm glad he is back with the team.

 

[Jagartrott]

Bakelants to AG2R

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Bakelants to AG2R

Moving away from the Steppers is good for him imo, but will he get more opportunities at ag2r? Probably.

 

[Anderis]

He will be free to ride in order to secure more team classification wins in GTs for them.

 

[GP Blanco]

Of course they are interested in dutch riders, but almost all important riders are dutch, only Vanmarcke is a foreigner. Some foreign domestiques won't make the team less dutch.

But Gatto and Marcato are not the most likely candidates to fill those domestique spots.

 

[Lexman]

that's the reason why he leaves, OPQS considers him a master domestique, AG2R promises him a free role

[Ryo Hazuki]

It seems Hivert is moving from Belkin to Bretagne

talk about another fail signing by rabo/belkin

MTN seems the likely candidate.

Surprising transfer to say the least, but Ag2r most likely promised him a Tour-spot (and of course a free role in other races too).

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Surprising transfer to say the least, but Ag2r most likely promised him a Tour-spot (and of course a free role in other races too).

I think it will be good for him though, his style of riding didn't really fit with the rest of the team. Ag2r can make a crazy good team next year in GT's adding him.

Also, Topsport-Vlaanderen will become just a hollow shell of what it was this year, I think. But I guess the goal of the team is to serve as a launch pad for promising Flemish cyclists.

 

[Der Effe]

talk about another fail signing by rabo/belkin

Bit unfair, uh? Agreed, he didn't show much but he probably was quite inexpensive and had a good season last year.

he wasn't unexpensive since he had a very good year before going to belkin. this year was utter fail

With your username I thought you meant Johan Bruyneel

Yeah sure, that's why he didn't find a team until late in the year, not even a French team. He was a bargain.
