Re: Re:

Sam Oomen from Rabobank was also in negotiation.

Signed

 

[rodanafrenteguigs]

Veloso , Raul Alarcon and Samuel Caldeira to stay at W52 Quinta da Lixa. Délio Fernandez out to a international team , maybe Murias Taldea?

Rui Sousa, Daniel Silva and César Fontee to stay at Rádio Popular Boavista


Sérgio Sousa ( former LA Antarte ) to a austrian team maybe Team Voralberg !

Some Rumours From Portugal

 

[Domulec]

Some LottoNL news: Van Winden extends, Ten Dam, Markus, Flens and Bulgac set to leave. No rumors yet on where they will go.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Damnit, I was hoping Rui Sousa would finally retire. I assume Sérgio is joining de la Parte if he's off to somewhere like Vorarlberg.

 

[Stilletto]

Rumours are that ten Dam signs with a US based company.
So back to support Mollema ? At Trek ?

 

[Stilletto]

looks like its a No news day today

 

[Ricco']

Délio Fernandez out to a international team , maybe Murias Taldea?

Delio is from Galicia. I think that Murias only signs basque riders, so that's a probable no.

 

[AA_ESP]

According to PCS Formolo is staying with Cannondale for 2016.

Kittel and Giant-Alpecin have agreed on terminating his contract. His destination is not clear, Etix only one possibility.

The only other options I can think of are Trek, OGE or maybe BMC?

None of these are realistic possibilities.....

What about astana?

 

[Brullnux]

Re:

Astana 2016: utter domination. Boom wins all cobbled classics, Nibali Liege+ Giro Vuelta double, Aru Tour podium and some stage wins , Kittel all the sprint and world chamionships. Nibali Lombardia too

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The Astana train would be bone crushing in the final corner.

On another note I think they should stick to Guardini, who can still grab a few smaller wins without too many resources.

LIDL joining Etixx as a sponsor tells us Marcel is getting there, no?

That's very good news for Cannondale if true. It makes the transfer season over all a step forward.

Re:

Imagine Kittel, the Arian God, in that glorious Astana kit. My mouths watering just thinking about it.

Aryan? They probably should sign Behnam Maleki, then.

 

[nobilis]

Both Yannick Eijssen and Frédérique Robert from Wanty to Vastgoedservice - Golden Palace.
Both in 2-3 seasons going from WT to Continental.

 

[May0maniac]

Today La Gazzetta mentioned Ivan Santaromita training with Nibali and mentioned that he could sign with Astana.

 

[Anderis]

The information is there since Friday, but couldn't post it earlier, since I was few days off from my PC. It appears the full 2016 Cannondale's roster is already known. Unless they're going to hire more than 27 riders next year.

It seems Vaughters has kept all of the former Cannondale guys apart from Ted King and Mohoric. Kinda funny that some peolpe here suggested he wanted to get rid of all of them. I'm a bit surprised he decided to stick with Marangoni. I would take Bauer or Lasse Hansen over him any day of the week. But this is the only choice I'm not really convinced of. Overall, I think this will be more balanced team than this year and the results should improve at least a bit.

No confirmation of Gaimon, Wurf, Lewis (this has been denied earlier) or any other strange rumours.

Zaugg signed to IAM.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re:

Zaugg signed to IAM.

That's a good team for him, hopefully he gets the opportunity to lead at some races. He was massively underrated at Tinkoff-Saxo I feel.

Instead of signing climbing domestiques, Tinkoff are just losing them 2016 TDF team with Paulinho, Hernandez and Rovny _O_ maybe Noval can make a comeback

Have to look at signing climbing doms otherwise Sky, Movistar and Astana will be able to isolate Contador whenever they want.
