In other news, Matt White has said Orica are looking for a climbing domestique to help Chaves and the Yates brothers. Igor Anton could be a possibility. I haven't seen him linked with anyone yet. There's also a Basque link with Neil Stephens.

Their situation at the moment is that they have 14 riders currently under existing contracts or who have re-signed:
Albasini, Chaves, Cort, Durbridge, Ewan, Gerrans, Hepburn, Howson, Impey, Keukeleire, Matthews, Tuft, Yates A, Yates S

The following are confirmed as joining in 2016:
Edmondson (neo), Haig (neo), Juul-Jensen, Mezgec, Power (neo), Tzurruka

The following riders are confirmed "exits":
Blythe, Clarke, Howard, Meyer, Mouris, Santaromita, Weening

The status of the following riders remains unconfirmed:
Bewley, Docker, Hayman, Lancaster, Meier

There are unconfirmed rumours that Hayman may be staying (most likely to be his final contract if so). Bewley has had plenty of injuries during his time and this has been the first season where he has had any significant impacts (finished Giro). Docker & Lancaster are big engines/lead-out men but Lancaster significantly older which may count against him. Meier has some climbing capabilities which may count in his favour.

Does it matter? All those big name "fast" men they have (Bos, Goss, Farrar, Ciolek, EBH) and the only one with a win this year is EBH.

Plays the Goss/Petacchi/Sabatini role.

Laurens Ten Dam might head to Giant.

 

[l.Harm]

So MTN will become indirectly owned by the Japanese government?

Re:

It's daft to be talking about full team line-ups for next year, not just in this thread but in any thread. Loads of things change (form, illness, injury etc). It's ok to make a general assumption that the Spanish speakers will likely go with Landa to the Giro and that English speakers will follow Froome to the Tour but beyond that it's just pointless speculation.

This. Technically you could come up with some really impressive GT-lineup, only for all of them to crash and break their legs shortly before the race.


Anyway... Dimension Data Riding for Qhubeka doesn't roll off the tongue quite as easily as MTN-Qhubeka...

Will no one think of the commentators... still they have a bit to go before they overtake Team Hotel San José/Mellow Johnny’s Presented by Subaru-Gary Fisher in verbosity

DDQ should be enough

Oh, the halcyon days of Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Androni Giocattoli.

Those were good days. UCI rules won't allow that anymore.

I like An Post-M Donnelly-Grant Thornton-Sean Kelly or Murphy & Gunn-Newlyn-M Donnelly-Sean Kelly.

It reminds me of the lame p/b thing. Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies, Jelly Belly p/b Maxxis, etc. And to be fair MTN were already unofficially(?) p/b Samsung.

Re:

Dumoulin's train takes form...

 

[TMP402]

Grega Bole rumoured to Nippo. Landa to Sky confirmed obviously. Sergent leaving Trek. Manuel Belletti renews at Southeast. Axeon with three new boys: Krists Neilands, Colin Joyce, Tyler Williams.

Boris Vallée signed with Fortuneo-Vital Concept (Current Bretagne-Seché Environnement)

Strange that Lotto let go of a talented Belgian rider like Vallée.

Imagine this situation: "Now there's an attack by Daniel Teklehaimanot riding for Dimension Data riding for Qhubeka."

 

[Moviestar]

Dani Moreno would be on his way to Lampre. Jesse Sergent to leave Trek ( confirmed by himself on his Twitter).

Well, Kwiatkowski confirmed too.

Re:

Damn, now they are able to dominate in all races. They will win 20 of the 27 WT races.

That's actually feasible.
