You know… I am slightly concerned about your math abilities.
Let's assumed you're right, and Landa returns for 2020, then they'll have;
Izagirre, Izagirre, Landa, Bilbao, Fraile, and Sanchez (and that's assuming the last three actually stays), dunno why but I doubt UCI will reduce WT teams to just 12 riders...

Pinot announced that there'll be an announcement shortly....

I could feel you all crossing fingers
jokes aside, good choice, he'll be the captain there.
we'll talk again after 2020.

He could be referring to the language, not the nationality, and there you should add Lopez, Caicedo(?), Contreras...
Then it's still short but getting closer

Tanel Kangert will quit Astana.

Re:

Could be a nice signing for Sunweb. (Read dom for Dumoulin)


I really like De Plus going to Team Jumbo next year. They’re building a nice climbing squad there with Roglic, Kruijswijk, Gesink, Bennett, Bouwman, Tolhoek, Kuss, Powless and now De Plus. With Groenewegen, Tony Martin and in 2020 Wout van Aert they’re busy in every discipline. Who could have thought that 2 years ago?

Nibali said that he'd like the team to sign one more climber, so Kangert going to Bahrain wouldn't surprise me, he has been one of his best climbing domestiques for years.

Yes it is, I just like him as a rider.

Well, the Danish element seems to be diminishing, with both Valgren and Hansen leaving. However, Fuglsang hinted that there might be another Dane joining the gang, probably Gregaard.

Not if you've seen him recently, Katusha have been supplying his bikes

Re:

That made me spill my coffee! Can't wait to see him in WT races. For those that don't know him, apart from numerous other performances, he's a great time trialer, 2nd in Commonwealth Games and 2nd in National Championships.

He was 2nd because Scotson had bad luck and was a long way behind Cam Meyer. There’s potential there but don’t get too carried away.

Katusha and Canyon Eisberg both use Canyon bikes

30 seconds is not a long way behind, 2nd to G in Nats beating Dowsett, he took some risks though from his post race interview

Wonder if the Dowsett helped with getting ride at Katusha
