Teams & Riders Transfers and Rumours 2019 > 2020

[Eyeballs Out]

If I was the agent of Carapaz I would definitely have spoken to Ineo$ (or claimed to have) and leaked the terms to the press (or just plucked a figure out of mid air). Ineo$ are the obvious "go to" team for any rider transfer speculation to drive up demand in the same way that every top footballer gets linked to Real Madrid

 

[Valv.Piti]

Yeah thats seems lame on top of all the money Ineos has. God damn man, I would just hate it if they signed him. FFS

Carapaz's agent has a very good working relationship with Ineos - he represents 12 of their current squad. They're his go-to team for actual contracts.

talks between Skyneos and Acquadro (Carapaz's agent) date back to last year/this winter. it could have even been settled before this season started

So they threw 1.5M at a rider with one 4th in a Giro and a win in Asturias?

Alternatively, by seeing something others didn't they got a Giro winner on the cheap.

 

[King Boonen]

Not sure where to put this, maybe here, maybe general:

Subweb parent company to buy Corendon. Will it mean a merger for the teams?

We're talking about the team that is paying Poels over 1M per year and that was willing to pay Rosa 3.5M for 3 years, so it wouldn't surprise me.

We're talking aobut a team that can pay the lowest guy on the team 1M a year if they want to. They are paying millions per year to guys that are nothing more than domestiques no matter what team they would be on.

 

[Moviefan1203]

No idea if he will choose Ineos or not, but you can’t blame a guy for wanting to put his family in the best situation.

Like I've said before, it's a short career and lot of these riders including Richard Carapaz have families to take care of. Ineos is offering to increase his salary tenfold and can go higher if they need to (Brailsford apparently routinely triples offers for riders he wants). If he takes the offer we have no right to complain, it's his career.

He has the right to make the choice and never have any more results again. 10 to 15 years is a long career when it comes to athletes.

 

[F_Cance]

Zanetti (Segafredo) confirmed Nibali to TFS for next year.

 

[Koronin]

There are some rumors that Iñigo Elosegui is going sign with Movistar and might be signing a training contract to start this summer with Movistar. He's currently with Lizarte.

elosegui is a done deal they are in talks also with jefferson cepeda so it might be that not only quintana and landa will leave the team,but also a part of the suport team

TY. What I read It sounded like it was close. That's possible. I expect a major shake up with Movistar's lineup for next year. With only Soler and Verona singed past this year, if they want to make massive changes, this is the year to do it.

 

[PedroMonteiro]

Bjorg Lambrecht 2 more year with Lotto Soudal

 

[WKA311]

And Brent van Moer will debut already this week with the Lotto WT outfit. Original plan was for next month.

Latest rumours (Marca):

The accuracy of Marca's rumors tends to waver a little, but Fuglsang would be a very interesting (and pleasant tbh)
addition to Movistar's roster.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Fuglsangs agent has confirmed to danish media today, that he had talks with Movistar during the Giro.

Imagine if they realised they might be able to get Valgren cheap, reuniting that duo

 

[Salvarani]

Fuglsang lives in Spain and his wife is spanish if I am not mistaken. Things like that could play a part too.

 

[tobydawq]

His wife is from Luxembourg and he lives in Monaco.
