Re: Re:
Lotto apparently did offer him a new (improved) contract a while ago, but he chose to wait for other/better offers and now Lotto just has better options. So the number of wins has very little to do with it.

Re: Re:
Maybe they should buy Mareczko and begin competing in Asia. Plenty of wins there.

Dumoulin to JUmbo?

I don't think that makes sense at all.
2 years left on his Sunweb contract.
Both Roglic and Kruijswijk on the Jumbo team at least another year.
It's probably just wishful thinking from dutch media

Re:
Jumbo would need a really good budget to even think of adding Dumoulin to their current roster.
Imagine a TTT with Dumoulin, Roglic, Van Aert, Martin and Van Emden.Broccolidwarf said:

According to Belgian media, Gilbert is signing with Lotto for 3 years (so he'll be 40 at the end of that contract) and Mas will ride for Movistar the next 2 seasons.
Re:
Movistar has offered Mas a 3 year deal, which obviously he hasn't confirmed to signing as of yet.

Re:
Then I hope GVA will also transfer back to Lotto in a couple of years' time. Then everything will really have come full circle (I don't think it particularly likely to happen, though).

Re: Re:
Don't think Mas can technically sign it until Aug 1st. Isn't that when the transfer season technically opens?

Interesting if true: it would mean that he’s prioritizing getting the best results possible over getting the biggest paycheck possible as it is highly unlikely that they are offering the most money.

So rumor goes that Alpecin & Canyon take over the squad and build a team around VdP & Politt!?MatParker117 said:
Re:
Moving from one of the most efficiently budgeted teams in the sport to one of the most profligate means a big raise. He will still get a good calendar. He will get much weaker support. It will be interesting to see how he does without the best train. (If it doesn’t go well he can at least bulk up his palmares with a truck load of easy wins in little French races).

Re: Re:
The way I understand it, he can sign, he - and Movistar - just can't tell anyone until Aug 1st.

Before the stage, according to a quote in the CN live coverage, Viviani confirmed that Cofidis want to sign him but denied that he had signed anywhere yet. He says he thinks he deserves “a big contract”. Presumably that’s the issue in his negotiations with DQS - there’s big money on offer elsewhere, DQS don’t want to give him that kind of raise.
Why would they with at least Jakobsen and maybe Hodeg on the rise? And 2019 seems to confirm that Viviani is good, really good even but not "elite". Why pay him so much if you have his replacement already on the roster for 2 years and way cheaper?! Mas on the other hand, they have no other GC option at the moment. So keeping him would be more important than just another sprinter. Its unlikely but from Lefeveres perspective it should be quite clear who he should offer more money to stay if he has to decide between Viviani and Mas.
