Transfers and Rumours 2014 > 2015

[TheArt]

Teunissen signs with Belkin/Lotto. Furthermore the team extends the contracts of Tankink, Van Emden, Goos and Keizer.

 

[Knutsen]

what? why would a giro or tour care to invite a team based on ebh? this sounds more like the finalportal to retirement for the most overrated talent of the decade ebh

TGRH (The great Ryo Hazuki)!

 

[Colonel]

MTN have a few more signings to announce of calibre, will go to the Tour next year and then be World Tour in 2016.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Sure, like the most overrated talent of the century isn't Betancur...

ugh facepalm here

 

[pastronef]

MTN at the Giro instead of Neri Sottoli would be ok for me.

Neri will never lose their spot for the Giro. until Acquarone comes back. and he ain't coming back

 

[Ricco']

CyclingFever says that Farrar and Goss are likely to join MTN.

EBH
Farrar
Goss
Ciolek
Gerdemann
Konovalovas
Pardilla

A team to flop 11 times in each 10. To be perfect they only need to add Antón and Duarte.

 

[whittashau]

ugh facepalm here

Like there being 35 climbers better than Nibali?

They can put together a pretty good sprint train with those four if they can decide which one to ride for.

EBH or Ciolek to keep a high pace in the final km, Goss to do the leadout, EBH or Ciolek to finish it off (depending on terrain and who's in form). Oh, and Farrar can make sure none of their rival sprinters can beat them by crashing them out.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Aren't MTN interested in Bos as well? That's would be one hilariously unreliable sprint team.

No kidding! Goss, Farrar and Bos on one team would be brilliantly entertaining

... maybe too dangerous even for my taste

 

[Kotar_Rhakoz]

Quentin Jauregui has signed with AG2R

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Like there being 35 climbers better than Nibali?

4 years ago yes

 

[theyoungest]

Goss, Farrar, Bos, Ciolek, EBH... are MTN aiming to become the Giant of failed sprinters?

 

[Cimber]

Betancur to stay with AG2R after all it seems:

He will stay at AG2R it seems

if true taht would be the worst for both parties. betancurt needs a good trainer and proper team guiding

Yeah and being a foreign guy in a french team is never easy. They shoul put him on the same scedule as Pozzovivo and let him train with him, he seems to get along well with him and there's less of a language barrier.

That's very bad for him,i really don't think this team is suited for him.I was hopping that one big team would make a move for him,he's wasting his talents at AG2R.

 

[Kotar_Rhakoz]

It does not make much sense for them to keep him unless he has shown a greater willingness to be part of the team. Perhaps he has in the view of the team turned the corner as far as his dedication to cycling in the past few weeks. Okay it is not shown by his current condition but maybe his attitude has been a lot better since his return and his condition will follow.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Betancur signed a contract with Ag2r - he's the one not fulfilling his duties. If I were Lavenu I would keep him too - and send him only to ****ty races for the rest of his contract. This guy needs seriously some lessons taught.


Other news: Lorenzo Manzin and Marc Sarreau will turn pro with FDJ next year. Two promising young sprinters with nice stagiaire results in the last weeks.

Or send him to lots of races (I mean a lot!) and force him to actually work hard. Teach him he can't just skirt by on talent.

That worked in 2012. He needs a lot of races to get in top shape.

Bos to join MTN-Qhubeka for 2015

EBH > Ciolek > Bos ... not a bad leadout for Bos

Except Bos never follows a wheel properly in the first place which is why Belkin pretty much gave up on him and now focusses on Hofland and Markus.

Now I'm really hoping Farrar and Goss sign with them. The sprint train will be legendary! For all the wrong reasons.
