Australian Rory Sutherland and Colombian Winner Anacona have signed contracts with the ‪MovistarTeam‬ through 2016!

Winner Anacona as expected, but Sutherland is a surprise, that came out of nowhere I barely know that guy to be honest.

Anyway that probably means that Movistar is full for 2015, so Szmyd, Lastras, Gutierrez, Ventoso, Plaza and Sanz will leave us.

I feel Sutherland was underused in Tinkoff, he deserved more chances

Sky seem to be very interested in Tom Dumoulin.

I really don't want him to get ruined at Sky. I don't want him to target GC's before any TT rainbow's and classic wins

Has a contract for 2015 with Giant.

Can't see him getting more opportunities at Movistar. He will likely be part of the stage race train working for Quintana and Valverde instead of Contador/Majka.

But hes operating at the WT level.

Every team wants Dumoulin. Pointless article.

Are they aiming for just 25 riders in 2015? I thought they would keep Gutierrez and Ventoso or maybe Sanz. Lastras might take a DS role. For the rest (Szmyd, Plaza), they're leaving for sure.

The team is CULT.

Aren't they continental? Maybe there are more pro/continental teams sniffing around him.

Van Oudenhove said yesterday on Viasat that Skjerping had offers from Lampre and Garmin too. Arvesen seemed to think it would be best for him to wait and rather take another year with Gino.

In an interview with Biciclismo a few weeks ago, Unzué stated that 25 riders for 2015 would be enough for their race schedule, so I guess that's how it is.

They are stepping up to Pro-Conti.

Thanks, that explains it.

They start pro-conti in 2015.

Could be negotiation tactics also to go out with the aim of such a tin rooster.

Yeah after all this year he didn't want more than 25 riders either but the disband of Euskaltel offered more possibilities than Unzué probably thought, so i don't know, we will see

Any word on Nicolas Roche's transfer. I read in the Irish independent this morning that he has all but ridden his last race of the season with the exception of a criterium in Japan next month. All the talk has been of a projected move to sky, can anyone clarify?

Still just strong rumours, some seem to think it's a done deal though. Not sure if Its been picked up on but rumours also linking Dumoulin with Sky.

Tinkoff's full for 2015 and no other team has even been mentioned so it's looking like Sky and I think Dumoulin still has a year to run on his deal.
