Teams & Riders The Great Big Cycling Transfers, Extensions, and Rumours Thread

[BlueRoads]

Did anyone hear something about a link between Bob Jungels and Ineos?

In Luxemburgish newspapers they write that yesterday such a link appeared in social media.

I only read rumours. Hope it does not happen.

The CyclingMole predicted it on Twitter. He's doing wild predictions, but is often well informed.

He does the old Beppe Conti tactic of spreading every single rumour he hears and some of them turn out to be right.

 

[WKA311]

Stan Dewulf Lotto-Soudal -> AG2R to support Naesen in the classics.

About CyclingMole, yeah he is just making up predictions he deems likely and going from rumours on Twitter.

Yeah. Stop putting the limelight on stupid people

 

[laarsland]

Some accurate rumours as well (but I don’t know if he’s jumping a bandwagon) but here are some clangers of #transfermole

2018:
Lutsenko to Sky
Valgren to QuickStep
Greipel to Trek
Greipel to CCC
Cav to retire
Battaglin to Astana

2019:
Nibali to Ineos
Gilbert to Ineos
Cattaneo to Astana
Bennett to Bora
Betancur to UAE

It’s all just banter, so please refrain from posting it on.

#cyclingmole is just a gag of his. Some of his transfer tweets are genuine, some are completely made up. He's admitted this in the past.

On another website people are livid that Lelangue has decided to let him go. I am baffled as to why said people are baffled. Dewulf will be a somewhat decent piece of help in the northern classics, but they like to make it sound like they just lynched the second coming of Cancellara. That's hilarious. Probably because Dewulf once won Roubaix at the U23's (which he never should have won if Philipsen didn't puncture twice or thrice in the last 10k and his teammate Van Moer didn't crash very late in the race).

Yeah... I'd definitely be hesitant to put too much faith in the predictions of a guy who tries to send the same guy to two different teams.

L'Essentiel, a Luxemburgish newspaper is reporting that Jungels father wants a top 20 salary for his son.
Lefevere wants to keep Jungels but doesn't pull down his pants for Bob.

He'll sell his soul to Ineos. Ideal man for the train.

I think something was lost in translation here.

Hahaha, good luck to him getting a top 20 salary A/ for his son, and B/ from Lefevere. Even at Ineos, they're not going to make him a top earner.

Here's the article, and they are quoting Het Nieuwsblad as a source: http://www.lessentiel.lu/fr/sports/.../jungels-trop-gourmand-avec-lefevere-28689160

EDIT: What was actually said by Lefevere: Bob's father took a glance at the list of 20 top earners, published by Cycling News, and thinks his son 's wages should be "closer to those numbers".

De vader van Bob heeft met grote ogen gekeken naar het lijstje van ‘de twintig grootste verdieners in het wielrennen’ dat Cycling News en L’Équipe publiceerden. Hij vindt dat zijn zoon wat dichter tegen die bedragen aan moet zitten.

Yep, and that news is from Lefevere's column in NB: Als Bob Jungels ook nog zou bijtekenen, hebben we de hele selectie voor volgend jaar rond. De onderhandelingen lopen.

Yep, just edited my post.

Trek-Segafredo want Simon Yates, while Adam could go to Ineos, according to reports

Amid rumblings at Mitchelton-Scott, the British brothers are said to be considering their futures at the team

Simon Yates to Trek, Adam Yates to Ineos

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Price-Pejtersen moves to Uno-X

 

[DNP-Old]

It would appear Superman Lopez is definitively going to BORA.

 

[Jeeer]

According to "Tageblatt", Jungels father said that Bob has got offers from 6 Worldtour teams including Ineos and Bahrain.

 

[BlueRoads]

It would appear Superman Lopez is definitively going to BORA.

In that case I suppose he would focus on Giro and Vuelta in the future? He could then have good support for the Vuelta, just taking the helpers from the Tour over. If he wanted to be leader at the Tour that would not make any sense.
Will Astana survive?

 

[BlueRoads]

Heartbreaking stories if they became true...
I don't want the Yates to split up. I don't want Jungels at Ineos. Kwiatkowski was tough enough.

At least 1 Yeats to Ineos was always gonna happen at some stage

 

[Earns1985]

Froome will probably leave Ineos at the end of the season, so unfortunatly they have a lot of budget left...

 

[glassmoon]

My crystal ball says, they both just gonna fade...

Why not? It's not like they have someone who would have clear priority over him.
