Landa is clearly worth 2M. Same level as Kwiat

Landa being told to wait Aru from the car
ehehe

Landa to sign with ..... in 2016

Re: Re:

I dont see Rolland going anywhere else than Europcar; he's got a leader role and he can decide his own calendar without much pressure.

his team still has to find a sponsor to replace Europcar for next season.
will it be on time before the Tour rest days market begins?

Correct, forgot about their sponsor issue but yeah they (he and Voeckler) will wait until the very last.

Re:

Landa to Katusha would make sense. He can have Purito and Moreno as mentors.

In Movistar, I think his role will be less free.

You forgot Grande Ilnur Zakarin, future GT winner

Future GT winner? You mean like "next life" future right? Perhaps that may be the case.

As per the "near future", not so much

JMHO

Landa has the same agent as a lot of Movistar/Sky riders ( Anton, brothers Izagirre, Herrada, Nieve, Lopez, Castroviejo). Wouldn't surprise me if he signs with Movistar, Unzue also wanted to sign him in the past years.

I have to agree with the "next Basso" statement and he should be hired to be a helper.

Let's hope he will be a better domestique than Basso. I personally don't think so.

Is it really true that VDB2 only has 1 stage win?

These are basically all basques. Doesn't say much

The list isn't limitative. For more riders see http://www.cyclingquotes.com/news/manager_in_2_or_3_years_kwiatkowski_can_be_the_worlds_best_rider/

Most of the riders of Acquadro have ties with three teams: Etixx,Sky and Movistar.So a big chance we will Landa in the tricot of one of those teams next year.

Dan Martin to Sky

Dan Martin to Sky

I can believe that and even think it would be a good fit

Garmin has no budget so all you can expect is bunch of juniors and few almost retired past due Americans.

 

[Velolover2]

Dan Martin to Sky

That would mean no Kwiatkowski.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Dan Martin to Sky

That would mean no Kwiatkowski.

Agree, there's no way they could take both and keep the happy.

I'd chose Martin to be quite honest. I know he is prone to injury, but he is still more stabile, stronger in GTs and fits better in a train. He probably is also cheaper.

Speaking of Sky, I've heard that they are interested in Juul-Jensen from TS who did a very good job in the Giro.

Dan Martin to Sky

Hope not.

 

[Netserk]

Dan Martin to Sky

Normally I'd say that doesn't pass the sniff test, but given the source there isn't even any need for a sniff test...
