Re:

Androni is a good squad for both Colombians. And we don't have as bad feelings for Savio as we have for Corti. With good Colombians He has had good results in the past. Better than what they have now.

I hope Rubiano returns to Androni. It was such a spectacular rider back then.

The last years he still was, but thanks due the horrible environment/team structure his results were less.

Don't want to see him go to Androni but agree that he was much more exciting to watch in that team, Corti sucked the fun out of him but that's what Corti does

Rubiano would be a good connecter if more Colombians arrive at Androni!

Southeast is talking will Ballan and Pozzato, but apparently Pozzato wants way too much money.

Apparently Mikel Aristi, Asbjorn Kragh Andersen and Delio Fernandez go to Delko Marseille

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Jesse Sergent joins Ag2r. That's quite a surprise.

 

[yaco]

Matthew Hayman re-signs at OGE for two more years which will take him to 39. Guess his major role will be to mentor the young riders.

Very odd choice. (At least to me)

That would certainly appear to be the prime intent. He may be given a bit of licence as a second option behind Keukeleire in some of the cobbled races but even there he'll probably have a secondary task as mentor to younger riders like Cort.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Still no team for Chris Sutton?

Yeah slightly odd but positive surprise to me!

 

[BigMac]

By the way, no news on Silvestre, Christian. Despite his earlier comments I'm convinved he'll land on a Portuguese CT team.

Re:

For a french PCT team they're a pretty international team.
Delio Fernandez and Dani Diaz on the same team
I've heard that the team's big goal is to get a wildcard for the 2017 TdF.

David Rodrigues renews contract with Team Radio Popular Boavista

Interesting, one less in the W52 super-train.

Délio and Dani at the Volta... gonna be massif!

Also Christophe Laborie linked to Delko

They're definitely more interesting than Direct Energie.

Delko-Marseille Provence KTM will go PCT in 2016, so we could also see them in a few other races like Route du Sud, or even bigger one week races, a French PCT could get a few wildcards.

Does this mean they're actually in the army or is the team no longer tied to military service?

 

[hmpower]

Interesting re Jesse Sargent, perhaps only got offered one year deals and went for team with longer two year contract.Only other options might be PCT teams or low money WT contract.

He seems to be loving it and is doing a good job too so why not? I'd imagine that there's a DS seat being kept warm for him, when he retires or if something unexpected happens.
