Anderis said:According to CQ, EF already have 29 riders for 2019 and Villalobos will be joining in the summer as the 30th rider so they wouldn't have a place for Dani Moreno if:
- CQ got everything right
- Villalobos will actually join as indended in mid-season and nobody will retire/cancel his contract before that
I also never read that his contract was for 2 years but I may be not the best informed man on this topic.
A shame about Canty, his Conti results suggested that he's certainly got the talent. Hope someone picks him up.postmanhat said:Anderis said:According to CQ, EF already have 29 riders for 2019 and Villalobos will be joining in the summer as the 30th rider so they wouldn't have a place for Dani Moreno if:

Looks like no place for Brendan Canty and with Aussie season about to start, it's unlikely he's heading back there. Antipodean riders have often found a spot on the UK domestic scene, but that's been fairly decimated this year and there's plenty of surplus British riders.
Andriy Grivko still without a contract. He's 35 but based on last season's results, could still do a good job for a pro-conti team. Maybe after 9 years at Astana, he's unwilling to relocate

These are surprisingly high level signings for what I had thought was going to be an operation aimed simply at getting some of the best domestic amateurs some semi-pro racing.

For me, Canty is the biggest individual disappointment of all EF/Cannondale riders in the last 2 years.42x16ss said:A shame about Canty, his Conti results suggested that he's certainly got the talent.

If Bennelong-Swiss Wellness are serious about a Pro Conti licence they can do worse than sign a rider like Canty.

Another signing from the pro ranks to the new Conti outfit. There must be some relatively big money there for a third tier team.

or merely more money than he can make retired from cycling
As far as I can tell, Evo or rather EvoPro is just team's fancy name with no link to any company with such a name. There's one or two companies named Evopro but they seem unlikely to be related with the team. Most importantly, no such company is listed among partners on their website.sprints n stones said:There's a company called Evo that makes electric bikes and scooters but they're based in Derbyshire. Evo from evolution seems quite popular as an abbreviation in company names. There's a company that makes hair and face products so maybe its them wanting their riders 'to fight for their hair' too!
