“In the difficult hilly Classics, the departure of Kwiatkowski to Team Sky leaves a gap,” he stated.

Wouldn't be surprised if that stage finish on the Huy gave him the idea.

He rode FW this year and planned to ride LBL. FW for Huy and LBL because Sky wanted the UCI points for the worlds/Olympics. As it happened he didn't ride LBL because he crashed at FW (which actually allowed him to look at the Huy solo which was clearly beneficial).

Roy extends with FDJ and van Poppels rumoured to Jumbo.

It's true, although a joke would seem more appropriate.

Cannondale confirm Bevin (Avanti) and Mullen (An Post). The team maintains their quota of Irishmen who slipped through the fingers of British Cycling.

Good signings. As is Wippert. However young neopros, even very promising young neopros, or second tier sprinters, aren't going to make up for apparently losing two of their three star riders. If Martin and Hesjedal go, that should free up a considerable portion of their wage budget, so presumably we will also see a more expensive rider or two coming in?

Losing Martin, Danielson free's up some cash. I really cannot see a big $ rider coming in. And by saying this I assume Joe Dombrowski & Davide Formolo. Will be getting raises. And if I'm JV I look to extend both now. Because those 2 look to be ready to explode! Especially Formolo!

Maybe an Uran? But he has not gotten his GT win. So his salary might be reduced. JV is not going to blow the budget on Uran.

Re:

Trek has done well with their two new riders, but losing the van Poppels would really hurt. Danny showed that he could do some nice things in the Northern classics, and has shown promise with his sprint.

Re:

Too bad, now that Stölting goes pro conti.

 

[TMP402]

Polanc and Conti extend with Lampre,
Taborre and Appollonio to leave Androni (clinic)
Danielson to leave Cannondale (clinic)
van Rooy (staigiare at Soudal) to Topsport.

Too bad for Stolting, but Bora are assembling an interesting number of German/Austrian talents.

 

[greenedge]

With Bonifazio moving to Trek, does that mean Lampre are confident of keeping Modolo, or is he also leaving?
