[Gloin22]

Sky Italia isn't sponsoring Sky since 2013. Why does this fact seemingly lives in this forum Italia sold all its stake to 21st Century Fox in 2013.

 

[TMP402]

Trek have said Mollema will leave as he has done nothing other than 8th at the Tour since joining on a big contract.

Just what the f**k did they expect?

Sky is now pan European.

Imagine Froome, Kwiatkowski and Sagan all in the same team.

He won alberta, and the japan cycling road cup race someting, furthermore finished second in the Tirreno

Yeah I don't know what they expected from him, he's a capable rider but if they wanted him winning more then they should of planned a program that didn't revolve around the TDF.

Also what is the source for this rumour?

 

[carolina]

maybe majka to trek? at least his better then mollema.

Re:

I guess it's possible but it all depends on who else Trek have in mind, they will be after a name to represent the brand seeing as Cancellara is done so if they can find a GC rider who is a big name then I doubt Majka fits

 

[carolina]

the only GC rider with a big name is contador and I don't really see him in there. they already discarded nibali. from the other riders, majka is the best one. konig is very good, but is a more low profile rider.

Re: Re:

Contador also rumored to join Jelly Belly as Lachlan Morton is looking for a quality domestique.

Most of those Contador rumours are pretty strange,what's next, Rabofail (payback for the 2007 TdF)?

He contacted Rabo asking for a contract when Discovery disbanded but Rabo said NO (Rabofail lol)

 

[Nirvana]

The indiscreto of Beppe Conti is only a figment of his imagination or has a minimum of reliability?
Today Moser made fun of him during the processo.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re: Re:

Contador will go to astana

No he won't

Maybe Vino will offer him a fat contract. But he has a bad experience with Astana so I doubt he will go there.
Lampre still seems the most likely option to me

Battle of the descenders.

Don't you think he'll go to the Riis team? If Tinkoff are folding, what would be the point of Riis' team if not to build around one of the two Tinkoff stars?

I don't think the Riis project is happening, at least not this year. And I'm not sure the point of the team is to pick up where Oleg left off anyway, I think Alberto wants some certainty for next season, and a new project doesn't offer that. Who else would they be able to sign, will they get a WT license etc.?

Trek.

Majka doesn't sell bikes.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Thomas is almost certain to stay at Sky as are Henao, Viviani and Swift, Matthews and Rosa are almost certain for Sky, Nibali is going to Bahrain, Boonen to Lotto-Soudal and apparently Tinkoff are folding with Sagan considering Ettix, BMC and Sky, Maijka is considering Lampre, Ettix, BMC or Sky and apparently König is 50:50 could go back to Bora and Gilbert is almost certain for Lotto-Soudal apparently Mollema will stay after TRS realised they weren't going to sign Nibali, Dutch press are reporting that Boom might go to Lotto NL Jumbo

Sagan to BMC could be good. He has no business at Sky.

 

[carolina]

Re: Re:

Majka doesn't sell bikes.

that's why they should focus on signing sagan and forget about everybody else.

Yeah sure, Gilbert & Boonen, the two best paid Belgians, are going to LTS

Quite alot of bs in that one, very long sentence.

I was imagining all these Dutch "GT" talents in one team.
Kruijswijk, Mollema, Ten Dam, Gesink, Kelderman. Poels, Dumoulin. Throw in Terpstra for some drama. Rabobank will return and they will go 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 on L'Alpe d'huez in 2017!
