I've listed below riders of interest from the above list of 501 riders without a 2016 contract. I could have included more but the size of my original list was (even more) ridiculous. Also left out a few like Danielson, Oyarzun and Appollonio for obvious reasons.

I'll eliminate riders when they sign with a new team/retire. Hopefully this will be a good way of observing the rest of the transfer window.

 

[MatParker117]

Goss is staying in europe, one procycling?

 

[Stilletto]

So Team Drapac finally announced the new riders;
They are
Nathan Earle from Sky and Gavin Mannion from Jelly Belly

 

[stabbin31]

So Trek's final roster is 25? There is no roster limit yet is there? Just drives me nuts, Sargent, DVP, Jungles all just let go. How Luca has a job is beyond me.

 

[Stilletto]

Ken Hanson UnitedHealthcare retired

Arashiro (Europcar) rumored to Nippo

They have sent ridiculously weak teams to a lot of races, including GT's, for two years now. How they want to be more competitive with less riders is beyond me.

Jempy Drucker extends with BMC

 

[Stilletto]

Richard Handley (JLT) and John Ebsen (androni) signs with One Pro Cycling

 

[Lexman]

Mirko Selvaggi leaves Wanty and will ride for Androni :

They were too young for the team

Minimum is 26, I believe...

 

[screaming fist]

There's a strong Lampre-Betancur rumor and no one has posted the picture of the chubby guy in the Lampre kit yet?

 

[GP Blanco]

Lotto Jumbo signed Koen Bouwman (trainee). He wants to develop himself as a helper in the mountains

I thought it was 25. Anyway seems teams are downsizing because of the upcoming lowering of the rider limit.

That has gone the way of the dinosaur I believe.

Didn't they cancel that plan? EQS for example had 27 riders this year and wanted to ride with 25 in 2016 but after the decission to drop the idea they now have 29 riders for 2016 under contract.

Chris Sutton looking for a team. I'm a bit surprised that he seemingly can't get one. While he's never developed into a top sprinter, you'd have to think that he's still a better rider than a lot of guys with WT or PC contracts. The guy has won K-B-K and a Vuelta stage and he's not all that old.

Re:

Arashiro (Europcar) rumored to Nippo

Good pickup for Nippo if true, I'd like to see what Arashiro can do with the freedom to ride for himself.

Can you believe this meat head? Like I said, he is an awful judge of talent and an even worse GM.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Mustafa Sayar is back: he just signed for some obscure Chinese Continental team. Expect a hilarous Tour of Taihu Lake.
