Who is going where ?

Stumps · 2012-08-09T20:55:20+01:00

Whilst we still have the Vuelta to look forward to and the Worlds, pro teams must be eyeing up likely candidates for new signings. Cav to OPQ ? Nibali to Astana and Roche to Saxo bank so far. How about Sky swapping Cav for Boonen ? Plus i think they need another GC rider to go with Wiggo, Froome and possibly Uran. What do you reckon ?????????????

Anyone know the latest on Cav? OPQ? In an interview yesterday, completely unprompted, he described Brian Holm as “one of my very best friends”…

Just because JTL has been on training camps with Sky, doesn’t mean anything. I believe Millar, Cummings, Blythe, Fenn and others have all been on training camps with Sky in the past.

I think JTL was away with them before the Olympics as a backup and may yet get a world champs spot with Cav not being there 😉

I saw that JTL has signed a pre-contract with Sky not Saxo. Endura are working to join forces with an existing ProConti team next season. Think it is NetApp but could be wrong.

Jonathan Tiernan Locke has gone to AG2R Mondiale, signed and sorted. He’s always said he preferred France, started on a small French team, and that was why he chose Endura after Rapha, because they race more in france.

Incase you are wondering how I found all this out??

I got BORED at 2am and decided to go through EVERY rider that had a Wikipedia entry and see if there was any gossip, thats how I harvested all those links above

SO every team here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCI_Professional_Continental#UCI_Professional_Continental_Teams

And Here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCI_ProTeam#List_of_current_UCI_ProTeams

Also, its amazing how many former dopers are at continental level that I never knew about and thought they had disappeared forever. Here’s an example

Saxo 😉 He’s already signed a letter of intent to join them, but they are keeping transfers quiet until the end of the season. Because they fear riders will be dropped from further races so they do not score UCI points :B
