Teams & Riders Transfers and Rumours 2020-2021

[Billie]

I expected that and I'm not trolling. As soon as someone wrote that the reason he had not raced since lockdown was that he had had some mental problems, I kind of expected he might part ways with the team before 2021.

So fitting to the entire transfer period of EF. At this rate the team will have retained 0 riders by the time the next season starts. In August they had 15 riders confirmed for 2021, now it's October and they have just 13 and still there are more rumours about riders terminating their current contracts than about riders signing new contracts! At this point I fully expect to read somewhere in the next week that Higuita or Bettiol will leave too.

Vanmarcke also has offers from other teams but he's waiting on JV.

Waiting on Jonathan Vaughters or Jumbo-Visma?

There are only two WT riders with those initials.

Ganna can back to Uae. Spanish newspaper.

Magnus Sheffield, top junior from the US, is signing with Rally. That's impressive for Rally to sign him. They probably want to give him sort of the same road of development like they did with McNulty.

This was the kid who was the superdom during Simmons Junior WCRR race?

Exactly, he got third himself as a first year. He is pretty allround, does some cyclocross but has sadly not really raced this season after march due to corona. Before that he won the Valley of the sun race on junior gears against full grown men and set a new record in the ITT.

It will be interesting to see how and in which direction he develops.

Ouch!

I wish my man SVM would finally get a break.

Link? Sounds a bit crazy.

I do see few Ineos riders could transfer to UAE. But feel Sivakov, Narvaez, Moscon and TGH sound more realistic than Ganna! I can't see Ineos give up on him now. His celebration the other day was also with love to the logo.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Dutiful recognition, rather than love, I would suggest.

Jens Reynders will sign in 2022 by Uae Team Emirates. Next year its his last year by Hagens Berman.

Does that imply that Axeon will continue in 2021?

Hang on. Didn't realise Jake Stewart had been elevated to the WorldTeam with immediate - as of October 1st - effect.

 

[Salvarani]

Looks like most teams in trouble will survive this season, but cut their costs significantly.

And the teams with big pockets gets even stronger.

Looks like it. They might have been stretched for riders possibly with the Giro, Gent Wevelgem and Paris Tours so thought he may as well join from now.

 

[WKA311]

From Ciro:

Samuele Battistella is supposedly having an verbal agreement with Astana for next year.

Louis Meintjes rumoured to Wanty.

Curiously he already rode the Tour du Limousin for the full parent team back in August.
