Poor Goss is only 28 and it feels like he's from a previous generation.

It's hard to believe he's younger than Cavendish

I thought you are kidding ... but wiki told that you are not

Bernaudeau team (Europcar) almost dead . He's saying today in french press (JDD), he has one last possibility from abroad (UK or Netherlands). 3 others leads (french ones) are dead since the end of the week.
He'll get an answer monday or tuesday for the last one.

if it's another "no go" he'll start his plan B, a continental team. He has already the budget to do it.

Lot of riders on the market if they go down in Continental.

Actually the article just plays up the situation as "last chance", nowhere does it say that his French leads ran dry. Also it says he has chances lined up for a PRO CONTI licence (what he already has this year) not CONTI.

thanks a alot, keep us updated if possible

edit: There is nothing bad about pro conti team of course, his name is well known in the world of cycling so he should get lot of wildcards I think.

Bonifazio rumoured to Trek and Boucher to leave FDJ.

 

[staubsauger]

A new big Dutch team with Bernadeau as president would be fantastic. Finally one with a clue about tactics and what's cycling passion is all about.

Hope it happens. Vd Poel probably would be a given future signing in that case.

Boucher to retire? He's not doing bad this season. I can see him joining IAM

An italian to Trek, that cant be right...

Jeannesson is leaving FDJ. Joining Vichot at Sky?

Re:

I don't think so. Jeannesson has been invisible this season. Plus, I believe he needs a team where he could also focus on Cyclo-Cross during the off-season.

more likely to retire

And he responds by getting into the break today....

And from his tweet, he didn't seem very happy about it. (check also the replies to his tweet)
Maybe Madiot's decision was based on Boucher's poor spelling in French

Tinkoff should get Ballan for Sagan should be cheap

Toms Skujiņš to BMC or Saxo. I hope BMC if it's between those two.

Re:

I hope he goes to Tinkoff. BMC are not great at developing their riders, but Bobby Julich and SdJ would be good for him.

Re:

Now that the Boom incident is forcing Astana out of MPCC, there's nothing to stop Vino from signing Ballan

despite having two offers of WT teams Sepulveda renews for two years with Fortuneo-Vital Concep (Bretagne)

Apparently Reichenbach is leaving IAM. Could be a good domestique for somebody, most likely someone at BMC.

This seems like a step backwards for a team trying to target stage races. But he is 34 and the team know the data I guess.

 

[TMP402]

And here's his explanation:

"I could stay in Australia and I have had four great years. But I would love to return to my own country. The idea of Rompoot Orange Peloton really appeals to me and it seems cool to be part of a group of young guns from January. Also because they will ride my favourite races in the spring ride and I want to go for them again."

How so? He usually picks up a few nice results each year and would be a good mentor for younger riders. Decent signing for Roompot IMO
