Re:

From memory, Cancellara and Purito are retiring, Warbasse is going to Cannondale and Castroviejo is staying put.

Your list makes McCarthy a potentially important signing, his points are almost enough to save any one of those teams without any extra signings.

Purito's agent said that he has multiple offers.
I won't be surprised if some teams try also with Cancellara for his points.

Now that Phinney signed with Cannondale-Drapac, I wouldn't be surprised to see Lachlan Morton sign, too. Haven't heard anything to that effect yet, though.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Seems like Lachlan Morton signed with Dimension Data.

Re: Re:

How is Lampre (regarding to the points issue)?

The ranking is as follows:
14 Lampre 442
15 AG2R 418
16 IAM 418
17 Giant 415
18 Dimension Data 290

AG2R could jump over Lampre with Bardet in Lombardia, but it's hard to see the others do the same. So Lampre is more or less safe.

Lampre with Costa and Ulissi is likely to score more than Ag2r in Lombardia anyway.

Terrific news. I can already see him and Phinney shredding the breakaways to pieces in the Tour next year, taking turns on winning stages.

Interesting. You wouldn't happen to have a link for that, would you? Thanks.

It's too hard for Ulissi and he can't handle the distance. Ag2r have Bardet, Latour, Vuillermoz, Pozzovivo, and Bakelants. They are much, much, much more likely to score points.

Don't discount Ulissi on home soil.

Ventoso to BMC is a befuddeling move.

Re:

As you know they have sworn to disband before ever signing a sprinter, so they had to wait quite a few years until he lost his speed.

Ulissi climbing is mainly underrated but i think he can't cope with multiple climbs.
If you look at the Giro in the stages with multiple climbs after two/three climbs he cracked everytime whereas he did very well in stages with only two climbs like Andalo and Risoul.

I don't know, Ulissi isn't that great when he's a marked man, he's good at winning Giro stages while the gc contenders are watching eachother.
