So who's Coquard's lead out man at AG2R? Rolland will be Costa's Super Domestic, Dan Craven will end up on one of the British Pro Conti teams and Tommy V might go to Bret or retire.
Samson said:One of the reasons why he might move is because he wants to have more chances to ride himself. So I don't think it's going to be Sky.

Movistar would be a nice fit for him if the rumours of Intxausti and Izaguirre brothers leaving are confirmed.
Põhja Konn said:I think Taaramäe is more likely to go to some smaller WT team where he can be at least a co-leader in races he targets. Highly unlikely that he wants to be a pure domestique in some other superteam. Then he might as well stay in Astana.
Before the start of the season, he did express a hope, that being in the WT team, he can do some races he hadn't done before, specially mentioning Italian races as Cofidis didn't get invites there. At Astana, he ended up doing a Tour-centered season again. Chance to ride races like Tirreno or Giro might therefore be quite important in determining his final decision.
Maybe you're right, but I think this year their Giro's roster included more climbing depth, than their TdF roster. Intxausti, Ion Izagirre, Amador, Visconti and so on.TMP402 said:Which would still leave him behind Valverde and Quintana, who the team will support far more, so if they offer him a token bid for the Giro his team is unlikely to include many of their top climbing domestiques for support.
So the two most russian soundingly named Scandinavians end up in the most russian if the teams, should lessen the confusion - or not.RedheadDane said:

Actually, both Mørkøv and Juul-Jensen have stated that they felt like they needed a change of air. In fact Tinkov wanted to keep Juul-Jensen.
Also Jesper Hansen has re-signed and we don't know what Breschel's plan might be. I think Chris Anker has already stated that he's moving.

Moviestar said:According to the French newspaper Ouest France Lampre, Trek and Movistar are in for Rolland. Rolland would prefer a move to Lampre.
Samson said:I just think Rein is too explosive rider to work for someone in headwinds or on climbs (like in Astana). He's probably too inconsistant to do top5/top10 in 3 week GT's but he's good enough to podium in one week tours and maybe stage hunt in GT's. I think team like GreenEdge or maybe Etixx would suit for him.

Well the effect is the same. Since you're better placed, what's the feeling of whether Saxo Bank will stay with the team for next year (or is it 2017?)?

so if Slagter leaves for LottoJumbo, Cannondale won't have many riders next year.
Talansky and Dombrowski for the GTs
Hesjedal to Lampre? Im not seeing him in an Italien team at all =.= He is part of Garmin Slipstream since his pro debut. Unless he wanna be a leader in the TDF before he retire, that's a good idea( Lampre doesn't have a real GT rider).Walter Morgan said:Portuguese newspaper "confirms" Hesjedal, Pirazzi and Guardini to Lampre.
