Gazzetta reported that Kwiato already signed with Sky.

Am I right in saying that Tom Dumoulin is out of contract this year? I think he'd be a much better value signing for Sky.

So that's explain Kennaugh hinting about leaving.I'm not happy with this at all,Porte might leave too no mater his Giro performance.Way too many guys vying for the leader role in races.I hope this is just an unconfirmed rumor.

Kennaugh is one of my favourite riders. Although he will achieve some success with Sky, I feel to truly develop he has to move away. Although for the life of me, I can't think of another team that he would thrive in. Perhaps Cannondale-Garmin?

I don't know,guys like Kennaugh,G.,Porte or Stannard seems to fit perfectly at Sky,i don't see them doing better at other teams.I think Kennaugh can reach his potential at Sky,as for other team for him,maybe BMC/Orica.

Garmin set to keep loosing their best talents to other teams before they reach their prime. :(

I wonder who else they'll lose after 2015. With Talansky already having a big deal for 2016 signed just after last year's Dauphine, I can see at least one of: Dan Martin, Formolo and Slagter leaving. Maybe Langeveld or Nathan Haas as well. There is too much talent in that team to be kept with their budget.

Apparently, Talansky, Navardauskas, Dombrowski, Howes, Cardoso, Moser, Skjerping and Zepunkte have contracts for 2016. I guess Moser's long-term contract signed when he was a hot prospect is hurting them a bit.

Porte might leave because of his Giro performance :p

Porte is absolutely the kind of GC candidate Lefèvre tends to go for.

Surprised he hasn't opened his mouth about signing Contador, Aru, Nibali, Froome and Quintana yet this year.

Rumours 101:

To Sky:
Kwait
Uran

To BMC:
Porte

To Etixx:
Porte

BMC and IAM to merge.

BMC-IAM merger makes sense for the sponsors, but there are probably going to be fewer IAM riders retained than there were Cannondale riders in the Garmin merger.

When is Nieve's contract ending? He should get away from Sky. Movistar should be a good match.

It ends this year along with Porte, Kiryienka, Siutsou, Deignan, Stannard, Rowe, Kennaugh, Seb Henao, Eisel, Zandio, Pate, Knees, Sutton, Boswell and Earle.

Sky have just 12 riders under contract for 2016:

Froome
Sergio Henao
Thomas
Swift
Lopez
Puccio
Roche
Konig
Viviani
Nordhaug
Poels
Fenn

I would re-sign Porte, the two Belarusians, Stannard, Rowe, Kennaugh and Eisel. That only gets up to 19 riders. Transfer activity!

nooo. Orica would be better. Matt White seems to have the magic touch when it comes to developing young talent.

I really don't get it what this guy did to deserve a new contract :confused:,they should pack him and give him as a present to Cav. A guy like Knees will surely deserve it more.I would keep Deignan too,maybe Boswell and Earle.
