Re:

Gabriel Cullaigh to Movistar.

Dont know much about this rider. Interesting to see how Movistar will be rebuilding their team.

Second tier British sprinter, who showed flashes of being somewhat useful in the Northern Classics. One of the most random transfers in a while.

There have been rumours about a British rider signing for a few weeks but I am a bit surprised that it is Gabriel. He seems super excited. I hope it works out well for him and the team.

Mikel Landa(ni) Meana confirmed on Bahrain-Merida!!

 

[MatParker117]

Tom Pidcock and Mikkel Bjerg to Ineos

Re:

So Landa, Quintana and Carapaz all leaving Movistar.

Not sure how I feel about this, but a reboot was needed, and now they hit full reboot mode.

I'm not sure how I feel either. Sorry to see Landa go had hoped he might be staying after all. Looking on the bright side a chance for some of the youngsters to show what they can do perhaps.

If Mas signs and is good. Soler stepping up. Valverde wins some races next year. They will be fine.

Will be interesting to see what some more signings will be though.

Georg Zimmermann turns pro with CCC in 2020. He will be a stagiare with them for the remainder of the season.

I thought Bora would take him with his Austrian connection. Good catch for CCC.

My thoughts exactly, not surprising but surely nobody other than diehard Ineos fans wants to see a stockpiling if young talent like this

 

[Gigs_98]

Can't wait for Ineos fans claiming how smart Ineos is and how brilliant their scouting system works for signing those young talents back in 2019 while in fact they just threw money at guys who everyone knew were huge prospects.

 

[Anderis]

UAE is doing exactly the same thing but for some reason people whinge mainly about Ineos.

Re:

So this turned out not to be true, at least for Bjerg, and I haven't seen anything about Pidcock. At this point, shouldn't we only be posting confirmed signings and not rumors?

Or at least state that they are just rumors.

Nothing wrong with rumours, as long as people use "I think", "I hope", "I could imagine". "X to team Y" is crap without source.

Matxin did exactly the same when he was working for Quickstep, back then everyone was praising Lefevre. It's also funny how everyone suddenly became aware of his past after he left Quickstep, but that's a discussion for another subforum.

Every year there is someone that try to ask to clarify whether what is posted is a rumor or not but it's useless because the majority of the posts are still something like "rider x to team y" and mostly without sources.

He got that one wrong, however it is a Transfers and Rumours thread
