He'll be lucky to finish more than a handfull of races. Cav is cooked.

Brambilla extends with Trek. So he won't move to the Hungarian team as was rumored.

And another potential target, Sacha Modolo, is now said to be on the verge of signing with Correndon Circus. That could be a very good match

Yeah that’s a highly weird signing. A 26 year old Asia Tour sprinter? I mean he does win in Asia, but it seems hard to imagine Bora signing a guy to compete with Shane Archbold or one of Ackermann’s leadouts for the chance to be fourth choice sprinter.
If Bennett (and Archbold) are gone it’s a little less bizarre. You’d think they’d go for someone either younger or established at a higher level, but from his point of view it’s a great opportunity

Betancur hints on social media he would stay with Movistar (via Ammatti's twitter)

Speaking of Bennett, I didn’t see it mentioned here, but Lefevere confirmed that they had a deal worked with Bennett, but Bora got in the way. Bora offered a swap deal where they would pick up Hodeg, and QS said no.

Anyone heard any Ineos news?
28th October, most teams finalising rosters and Ineos still with only 24 riders for next year.
Dennis, Amador, Brandon Rivera & Carlos Rodriguez to sign?

Doesn't seem like Laas was signed as a sprinter...
“We will therefore work on preparing him adequately for racing at this level, and we believe that he will be valuable in strengthening the team’s sprint train. He is very motivated to do so, and I’m looking forward to seeing the progress that we can make together.”
“I’m looking forward to supporting my teammates during the races and doing all that I can to help them achieve good results.”

Amador has a signed pre-contract with Movistar. Movistar has said that they will enforce that. Meaning that to get out of it Amador must pay the fee to get out of it. Movistar has said that if the fee isn't paid before he signs with another team they will go to court to enforce their contract. Yes they did state court.
While I hope in this case that Amador stays with Movistar, “pre contracts”, declarations of intent to contract and all similar devices should be unenforceable as they are in the employment law of most Western countries.
Realy, realy nice to see Betancur stay at Movistar. This is one of the best moves for the team.

At this point, it's unlikely Amador stays, but with the signed pre contract it's very likely Movistar will get the money to break that before he can actually leave. They they have stated they have a signed document that is enforceable and they will enforce it. They said after the Sosa debacle (with Trek) that they had their lawyers go over these pre contracts to ensure they would hold up in a court of law if needed. I think this is the same problem that Sam Bennett currently has with Bora.

On the Italian forum someone said that Basso is negotiating an extension but probably is already a done deal looking at his last post.

The Bennett issue although very murky appears to be a verbal commitment to sign a contract, ie even more tenuous. Movistar are probably right that their pre contract is enforceable, but that is likely so because of the UCI’s structure forcing riders into arbitration and keeping them out of the courts. In most countries actual employment courts do not like this kind of not-quite-contract at all.

If Bennett's is verbal that will be a lot harder to enforce. From what I can find Spanish laws does accept pre contracts as legally binding documents. They also accept verbal contracts as the same as written contracts. With finding that I think they may be talking about going to Spanish courts and not necessarily UCI arbitration.
Ineos will likely cut a check in the next few days or so.
Those are the four who have been rumoured. Leonardo Basso could also renew.

Maybe they'll take Leopold König back, I hear he doesn't have a contract next year.
