Transfers and Rumours 2016 > 2017

[MatParker117]

Type of rider they love, plus Steven gets his salary at least doubled and much better help.

 

[dusty red roads]

He'll be at the bottom of the GT pecking order though.....

"In some morning transfer news, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf have reported Team Sky are looking into signing Steven Kruijswijk from LottoNL-Jumbo after his breakout Giro performance in May."

Interesting, for Sky bad for the peleton imo. Konig, Henao, Roche and several others are meant to be leaving Sky. Where would Kruijswijk fit? Would he and Landa Co lead the Giro? Or Would Kruijswijk be a super dom and Landa and Thomas lead the giro?

Even as a Sky fan who likes to see them do well, i think it's unnecessary.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Let other teams dream of GC ffs Sky.

 

[MatParker117]

What the rumours say so far:

In: Kruijjswijk, Rosa, Doull (Confirmed)

Out: Konig, Zandio

In talks to stay: Roche, Puccio, Lopez, Fenn, Others

Staying: Froome, Thomas, British Contingent, Kiryienka, Knees, Rest

 

[dusty red roads]

Sure hope they're not true - far better chances for leadership elsewhere. Would hate to see SK not able to lead his teams Giro next year. Would expect similar with Rosa too.

 

[GP Blanco]

Lotto-Jumbo extended the contract of Robert Wagner.

I think out : Roche aanf Heano also...

SKY stop cycling competitiveness by buying all the leaders as we want to see riders compete against each other

Want to see Kruijjswijk race Landa ...not be co leaders at Giro

 

[staubsauger]

I guess Landa might be out of Sky after one year already in case they gonna sign Kruijswijk!

Under contract for next year, Steven would likely be co-leader/new Leo Konig.

Well said. This is getting really annoying.
Please, Steven, be smart.

 

[dusty red roads]

surely Landa would want to be sole leader, plus what about ol' Thomas the stage racer?

 

[carolina]

it's not really sky fault if the riders don't mind slaving for others for a bigger pay check.

pinot, on the other hand, refused better proposals to stay in a team where he is the sole leader.

different ambitions I guess... or lack of...

Re: Re:

Under contract for next year, Steven would likely be co-leader/new Leo Konig.

So was Wiggins at Garmin, as well as Heras at Postal, to name two comparable situations.

 

[yaco]

Why would Kruuswiijk go to Sky ? - He's at the stage of his career when he should be team leader - Roche would be a good get for any team who wishes to boost their climbing squad.

Re:

No Landa is on a two year contract and Sky have treated him perfectly why would he leave?

Money, like it or not it's a short career and he's never been worth more if he wants to cash in on that I would not blame him.

Who cares about human rights when you've got a six-figure number in your bank account, eh?

Will be interesting to see Vandenbergh riding for himself.
