Transfers and Rumours 2014 > 2015

[Ryo Hazuki]

No, the strongest riders in Chambéry have been Latour, Denz, Bidard, le Lavandier, Peters. Estrada was barely visible at all. Just have a look on Estrada's impressive 2014 palmares.

Far more impressive: Daniel Martinez, who won elite races as junior rider who just came to Europe.

there are many race smissing on that site that he actually won like gp la municipalite

you are right about martinez though. monster talent. hope he does wc juniors itt and road race

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Must be for the BMC Development Team.

no it's for the wt team. colombian riders don't sign for u23 teams because of financial reasons. in past happened same with other colombians riders offered spots at u23 teams like garmin which they refused because those teams don't pay pro salaries

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Thurau Bora

A nice German addition to the team. Will provide visibility in quite a few races.

[boringboy]

Martin Mortensen and Alex Kirsch to Cult Energy, they also think good chance Rasmus Guldhammer will join as he thinks unlikely he will get a contract with Tinkoff-Saxo.

Bobby Julich back to Tinkoff-Saxo as a trainer.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Wanty will really need someone who can do at least a little GC stuff now that they've lost Degand. De Gendt might be good but he doesn't want to ride at low level I fear (was hit him who would rather be a mailman then?). I wonder how Degand will fare jn longer races.

 

[David_Incognito_66]

It was rumoured that Konig would go to sky but we now know it's not true, he goes to Katusha. Buy there's one rider from netapp who will endeed go to katusha. Machado men

Very good signing for Bora. It's good they're recruiting the good promising german riders

 

[Colonel]

Pardilla to leave MTN-Q. Not really suprised considering they looking heavily on classics and he had no support at Vuelta.

 

[Arnout]

Goss to MTN.

In one month that team has gone from an exciting team promising to unlock a world of new talent to the most boring team on earth.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Could go to Caja Rural as a replacement for Lulu.

 

[Ricco']

Pardilla could go to Alonso team, if the latest news that give the team riding in 2015 are true.

Samu, Pardilla, Barbero, Aberasturi, Oroz, Belda, etc. I see the line-up being something like this.

Because the talent they already had will be leaving? They use these 'big names' as the means to open the doors for the talented Africans... not sure if it's the best way, but it's a way.

Sure, but it are the wrong big names. Riding for sprints is the best way not to develop talent. With someone like Pardilla, if the young talents need to help him, they're growing as a rider themselves too. Next year they'll only have to do stupid drilling on the front.

Tom Dumoulin and Warren Barguil beg to differ... it's boring, alright, but that's just a matter of taste.

They want to enter the Tour, a great experience for Kudus and Teklehaimanot and those guys. With the team they had, that wasn't gonna happen. Now maybe it will.

Brajkovic to SkydiveDubai

[Ryo Hazuki]

seriously? I thought that team was broke. they haven't raced in ages and did not show up and most recent races they were on the startlist like volta portugal

barguil has pretty much never rode for a sprint. dumoulin is a tony martin kind of rider

 

[pink_jersey]

Brajkovic to SkydiveDubai

https://mobile.twitter.com/janibrajkovic/status/512559020801286144?p=v

Seems like his career is only going backwards...I think that his only good results this year is that 3rd place in Burgos.

 

[theyoungest]

Barguil has done his far share of work for the sprints. As for the Dumoulin comment, partly true. He's also a talent for the hilly classics.

Yeah Barguil really liked he wasn't selected for the Tour because the team wanted eight brainless lemmings.

As for Dumoulin, its hurting him too. Look at the success Tony Martin had this year, when for once he didn't have to bust his balls off for a sprinter.

seriously? I thought that team was broke. they haven't raced in ages and did not show up and most recent races they were on the startlist like volta portugal

Same here, I thought the rumor was they would quit. Could this be the new Alonso team?

Barguil has done his far share of work for the sprints.

Yeah he must've enjoyed it.

 

[Arredondo]

So 19-year old Colombian Aldemar Reyes is likely going to sign a contract with BMC at the end of the season. Reyes is tipped to the Swiss-manager Mattia Galli by his old protegé Mauricio Soler.

Agree, could prove to be a very good signing. Has anyone heard anything regarding Herklotz BTW? Should be a perfect fit for the Bora team.
