Not in the mood to translate but here is the Benoot part of the article in Dutch
Tiesj Benoot (25)
Sergeant noemt de 'case' Benoot <<het moeilijkste dossier>>. <<Het uitgangspunt is dat we Tiesj graag willen houden>>, zegt hij. <<De gesprekken lopen via zijn manager. Tiesj is een slimme kerel, hij wil zelf niet over geld praten. Uiteraard spreken we wel over hoe hij zijn carrière ziet evolueren. Ik moet bekennen dat ik niet helemaal op mijn gemak ben, want er zijn kapers op de kust. Ik hoor dat Dave Brailsford op zoek is naar Belgen - waarom weet ik niet - en Benoot zou een
target zijn. Dat verontrust me. Tegen het geld van Ineos kan niemand op. Ik denk wel dat wij Tiesj sportief meer te bieden hebben: bij ons kan hij overal kopman zijn. Hoe ook, het is duidelijk dat de markt open ligt voor Benoot.>>

I'll give it a crack, how hard can it be?
"Sergeant names "the case" Benoot "the possible dossier". The baseline is that we want Tiesj,
Say Hi!
The talks are ongoing through his manager.
Tiesj is a bad boy, who doesn't want to talk about money.
Generally we want to evolve him over his entire career.
I must admit, I'm not completely in my chambers, but want capers up the coast.
I hear David Brailsford is up the train of belgians, why I don't know - a Benoot is one target.
Trust me!
Nobody can compete with the money of Ineos.
I think we have more to offer Tiesj in terms of sporting development, by us he can become GC captain.
Hoe OK - That is how the market presents itself to Benoot."
How did I do?

I'll join you!
Sergeant named the Benoot case "the most possible paper". "The core matter is that we would like to keep Tiesj", he said. "The talks are run with his manager. Tiesj is a slimy creep, he will not himself talk about money. Afterall, we speak about in which direction his career should develop. I must admit that I'm not on my home turf; he wears his capes at the coast. I hear that Dave Brailsford is looking for Belgians - I don't know why - and Benoot is one of his targets. That annoys me. Against the money of Ineos nobody can compete. I think that we can offer Tiesj more regarding his sport: at our team, he can be the main guy. But okay, it is obvious that the world is open for Benoot.
Apart from the "slimy creep" and the capes on the coast parts, I think I got most right
Great with some insight from the pro peloton :lol: :lol:Salvarani said:Fuglsang lives in Spain and his wife is spanish if I am not mistaken. Things like that could play a part too.

Mayomaniac said:Vlasov to Astana, according to La Gazzetta, apparently it's a done deal.
I can't find a link atm, but apparently DQ have an agreement with Ballerini.
Degenkolb should be as cheap as he's ever been though.Samamba said:John Degelkolb close to signing for Lotto Soudal according to Wielerflits.
I wouldn't be surprised if that means that Benoot is leaving. Or LTS found some more money, but haven't heard anything about new sponsors.
