Doubt that Dennis would take it though. He wants to ride for himself more than two days a year.

Ineos might give him some freedom in a few one week stage races. Something like Catalunya and California.Doubt that Dennis would take it though. He wants to ride for himself more than two days a year.
No they wouldn't, especially not Catalunya. They need to find suitable scraps for Bernal, Sivakov, Hart, Dunbar, Rosa etc for when Froome returns. If they go for Dennis it's as a Kiriyenka/Knees/Castroviejo replacement.Ineos might give him some freedom in a few one week stage races. Something like Catalunya and California.
There are obviously teams that would give him more options, but likely less money.
I feel like Dowsett will land on his feet, but it’s really a question of what does any team want with a 31 year old former Hour record holder who wins about 1 minor stage race TT per year. He could strengthen a ttt squad.

If he's lucky he gets the TDU, or Herald Sun Tour if none of the GT contenders want to start the year early.
I didn't realise Rosa was leaving, I thought he still had a year left at IneosWhy are you mentioning a guy who's leaving, along with a bunch of guys who're staying?

Yes I’d be very surprised if they didn’t make an offer, they still only have 21 riders signed for next year officially and have lost a few experienced riders.
They should be after Dennis, Bilbao and Fernandez.
Yeah very surprised they have only announced Carapaz.
De La Cruz, Henao, Knees and Kiryienka all look like they will stay now but still need 2/3 more.

That's great to hear.And in other news, on the Cycling Podcast, they reported that both EF & Ineos will be setting up women's teams
Doesn’t want to go pro yet.Tom Pidcock definitely won’t turn pro with Ineos even though Teams Wiggins have folded?
Bilbao already signed with LandaYeah very surprised they have only announced Carapaz.

He's an Acquadro client, his agent is not on the best of terms with Movistar.Is Movistar cutting 80% of their budget?
I saw that this morning. Wow. Wasn't expecting that. Can't blame anyone for looking for more money for his future.Amador to INEOS.
