I may... or may not... have at one point, earlier in this thread, simply reported that Norsgaard was joining Movistar for next season.

And his personal chef apparently.

Luis Ángel Maté is leaving Cofidis and signing with Euskaltel-Euskadi. Only place I've seen this transfer is a couple of posts with articles in either Spanish or Basque.

This one is in Spanish. I'm not even sure google translate can translate Basque.

Gino Mäder is rumoured to having signed with Bahrain.
Zimmermann already signed with Wanty.
Will Barta is rumoured to Movistar.

After today the interest in Barta most comes from other teams than Movistar. Special Jumbo, Ineos and UAE.

Everyone is leaving Vini Zabu atm. Bardiani actually signed a few quality riders, on paper Bataglin, Visconti and Rivera really improve their team.

yes 5 gone already and one sacked ?
Not looking good.
only really Zardini and Van Empel left.
Could be hovering up the ex pro market to still continue....

I'm surprised to read that Campenaerts is still without a serious offer at this point of the year.

One of the 10 best TT-ists in the world + not an awful climber - he would be a perfect GT domestique- or does he insist on a free role? Even if so, the Belgian PCT teams should still fancy him very much as he has shown he can do great in races like Tour of Belgium.

Weird stuff even if we consider all of the covid impact.

Not just Campenaerts but other well-known Belgian riders too - https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/van-keirsbulck-vandenbergh-and-vermote-still-on-the-market-as-season-draws-to-a-close/

If there are any Belgian businessmen out there, now would be a good time to petition the UCI to allow a post-deadline Pro Conti team to start. You've got the Belgians from that article and what's left of NTT and CCC. Go for it!

This, is going to be interesting

 

[Bolder]

Can they please teach him how to TT?

TBH, I'm not so surprised about the other riders mentioned in the article, Campenaerts is a class above them.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Can they please teach him how to TT?

He was 5th in the TT in Algarve this year and did a few decent ones last year (14th in the Vuelta and 2nd in the NC nearly 1min ahead of Bernal). His TT form in GTs seems to be really inconsistent. Movistar are not known for forcing riders to really work on their TT, but having a Canyon TT bike should already be a big improvement.

Agreed, how well will Lopez gel with Mas, Soler and Valverde? His words at last years Vuelta were taken sorely, as were his actions on the neutralised descents at Nice in the TDF

in the interview with ITV today (after abandoning the Vuelta) Harry Tanfield said that he has no WT offers, but is in talks with some lower level teams (British CT, I guess, by the sound of it) about a deal for 2021
