Transfers and Rumours 2016 > 2017

[May0maniac]

I halways thought that Reis could at least ride at ProConti level, Caja Rural or one of the Italian teams could be a good fit for him.

Coppel retires.

A shame. No record-breaking third Étoile de Bessèges win!

[staubsauger]

Coppel ain't got no real desire to ride on as a pro for longer time now. I actually believe this is a very wise decision. He tried on, but now with 30 it's a good moment to stop and still get something normal, decent, and pleasant together in real life. Good luck with this and respect for this decision!

Giant is interested in signing Clement and Kelderman.

[Red Rick]

Clement would be great, Kelderman, well, he's been hopeless for the last 2 years and it doesn't look like that's changing anytime soon. I think Kelderman either be a stagehunter or mountain domestique, but if he wants to lead he'd be a terrible signing

no no no, Keldermann´s only hope is sign for Sky and get immediately on Poels schedule/program.

They're the two obvious additions you'd make if you were building a train for Tom. Nice.

A dutch variant of the Sky train is in the making for Dumoulin it seems.

Nice signings.

Re:

Trek is slowly turning in to one of my favourite teams with next year's roster, after being one of my least favourite teams before.

And like pastronef says, Kelderman should sign for Sky.

Re:

Good addition if he doesn't focus too much on the cobbled classics. It seems he can do really well in Ardennes hills and Etixx misses someone like him for that.
Edit: With Ardennes hills I mean the not too steep kind that they use in Eneco, Tour of Belgium, ...

I just spotted on Cyclingfever that all the LA Aluminios - Antarte riders are on the market for a new team for next season, anyone know whats going on here, is the team folding? I would think that Antunes would find a home at a PCT team

 

[luckyboy]

Look in the Portuguese Clinic Thread

Nikolas Maes from Etixx to Lotto Soudal

There's a chance the team can continue but without the Antarte money. The LA-Aluminios company can continue the team if they want to.

Sondre Holst Enger to AG2R.

 

[TMP402]

Dutch Pro-Continental squad Roompot Oranje Peloton has also added news riders to its 2017 roster, welcoming onboard Tim Ariesen (SEG Racing), Elmar Reinders (Cyclingteam Jo Piels), Martijn Budding (Rabobank Continental). Fellow Pro-Continental team Bardiani CSF have also announced the signing of young talent, welcoming onboard Vincenzo Albanese from the 2017 season.

I like it.

According to Giant on twitter 2 exciting contract announcements later today.

Could it be Kelderman and Clement??

They're not talking about new riders. Could be 2 contract extensions. Sponsor contract was extended through 2019, so I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Dumoulin has extended his contract for an extra year. Timing.

 

[luckyboy]

They've written it in German and added a German flag though. All their German riders already have 2017 contracts according to PCS

Lennard Kämna & Lennard Hofstede were linked with them last month..

edit: oh Hofstede is Dutch. Kämna and Martin maybe?
