Re:

According to 'Het Nieuwsblad' Lars Boom will join Lotto Jumbo and Vanmarcke will go to one of the following 5 teams: Bahrain, Astana, Orica, Cannondale or Dimension Data.

That would be a great transfer window for Cannondale if they manage to sign Carthy and Vanmarcke.

Re:

Is there any rumors regarding the future of Paolini? He can ride from the begging of next season, so if he doesn't retire, several teams (like Bora) should be interested in him.

Paolini with Martin in BORA would be nightmare Lefevere.

They are reportedly signing Dries Devenyns as well, so they would be one of the strongest team for the northern classics with a podium contender (Vanmarcke) and two very strong riders (Van Baarle and Devenyns).

If Langeveld somehow comes back to his 2013/2014 form, they would have plenty cards to play.

Re: Re:

What makes you think any WT squad would be interested in Brajkovic?

Several Slovenians are involved in this project, including Milan Erzen, who is/was his trainer. Also with his heart problems (partialy) gone, he might have a reason to say, that he will get back to his old levels. Finally, and don't laugh, he liked the Bahrain team page on a fb.

But I agree that with his current level, he doesn't deserve a WT contract.

Quite a few riders are...

Hermans, Tvetcov, Charles Planet, Gerts, Van Zyl, Bole, Tiralongo, Simone Sterbini, Colbrelli, Bauhaus, Txurruka, Visconti

Van Zyl has a contract for 2017. Colbrelli and Sterbini weren't mentioned in Bardiani's recent contract renewals. Rest of the contracts end this year according to ProCyclingStats (including Kudus + Grmay)

And Agnoli is among the list of Italians already linked too - Nibali, Ulissi, Vanotti, Boaro

Boom to Lotto Jumbo confirmed.

Did not saw that coming because he is an important part of Kristoff's train.

True, but the train has also been somewhat clunky this year.

Agnoli is one of Nibali's boys and pretty much confirmed, Grmay and Kudus seem to have a great realtionship with Copeland, I wouldn't be surprised if a few African riders would join the team because of him.
