PR depts didn't work during the weekend and just had their first coffees.
Politt to Bora confirmed.
Are there any rumours about incoming transfers for Mitchelton?

It's been reported they are keen on bringing in several Australian riders, whom are yet to be named.
Expect one rider to be the current under 23 RR champion Jarrad Drizners who is very talented - He will be a Michael Matthews type rider - MS sad to lose Affini who they rate highly - Anyway expect a few changes with the turmoil surrounding the team ownership.
I'm really not surprised that he ended up on a Dutch team, he rode for SEG in the u23 ranks, so he knows what he's getting himseelf into (from a cultural perspective).
Iván García Cortina has confirmed he will be leaving Bahrain at the end of the season. Only rumors of where he may sign.
Bettiol extendts with EF but it seems just like one year extension? Also their got his age wrong on their own website.

Bettiol signs through 2021 - EF Pro Cycling
Since the 27-year-old Italian roared at Flanders last year in Belgium, everyone sat up and paid just that much more attention to Alberto Bettiol. And for good reason. From the moment he joined the team in 2014, and even after a year away in 2018, Bettiol says like there’s no better environment...

They might have but I don't think the spell changes one's personal data so that's not the explanation.
Jesus wept, ISN is trying to steal Dimension Data's thunder as the prime horder of past-their-prime talent. At least they're bringing them together from different sources, rather than attempting a reunion of a team that dominated a decade ago.
Israel has a few good young riders. Zabel Wurtz Piccoli Neilandts etc, and Impey is still very strong. for now 19 rider signed for 2021. we´re in for a few more surprises
Xandro Meurisse rumoured to go to ISN, a journalist on the radio in Belgium mentioned that Meurisse had liked a number of their tweets over the past few days.

But good to see Ag2R are getting some riders. Last few days it's looked like Total Direct Energie has been on a bit of a raid.
It looks amazing on paper, but I'm a bit more sceptical. Jungels is an extremely good rider, but he's also a jack of all trades that doesn't really excel anything. Chances are he profited a lot from Quick-Step's insane dominance as a team. While that could also happen at AG2R, given he's on a team with Naesen and Van Avermaet, I'm not too sure if the latter has the same consonance as the Quick-Step boys. Lastly, there's no guarantee he'll operate on the same level, given riders leaving the DQS omerta see a drop in level more often than not. An underrated signing I'd like to add is their new deal with BMC. That could do wonders for them, especially in comparison to their current bikes.
Mitchelton wanted to put more focus on the Australian market, and then allows Berwick to sign with Israel. Weird, sort of. The options aren't unlimited, and I can only think of Drizzners and Plapp as alternatives.
