Looks like Tinkov is getting rid of all the Danish riders
He has no reason to keep develop danish cycling. It was mistake to sell that team to Tinkov.
Now he is talking/hinting that Saxo is not giving him enough money ..so he deciding to drop them.
And who does not know yet..I dont like that guy.. |

I know Hesjedal is getting older, but he is still a very good rider, as shown by his top 5 in the Giro. Garmin can't afford to loose too may more people They are headed to PCT or disbandment if they do.

As Italy's only top flight team, Lampre really lack a GT rider so Rolland might be good for them as he doesn't do too much at Europcar (who are ending I think) Sure they have riders like Costa good for short tours and hilly classics, Ulissi good for hilly stages and Modolo for sprints but nobody for a GT. |

Modolo is also very likely to leave Lampre. Etixx I think will be his destination. He'll be replaced by Guardini. An upgrade imo, Guardini is faster, just needs a better leadout. Lampre have shown this season they can do that.

Something tells me Lampre have been looking at my list of starters for their transfer policy.

If Modolo goes to Etixx it could be as another leadout for Cavendish, or as a replacement for Cavendish if he leaves, but Etixx have also got Gaviria. |

As long as Dombo shows up next year they are fine as far as WT goes. |

Well Lotto NL really trimmed down in the last transfer campaign and now seem to be managing ok thanks to good performances this year after a poor start.
I think Cannondale might be adopting a similar strategy to Lotto NL by trimming down and concentrating on just a few targets.
Also whatever happened to Moreno Moser, he looked capable of doing something impressive a few seasons ago and now he hardly does anything, did he get injured? |

Dan Martin at Etixx?I don't like him and don't want him at Etixx.
Plus if he goes to Etixx he will make Alaphilippe a domestique 
That's a good point and I agree and alaphilippe showed that he's pretty good for Ardennes and bringing Dan Martin will slow down his development
I guess you could take the view or you could look at it as a positive for his development. Alaphilippe is young and doesn't need the pressure of outright leadership in the Ardennes, if Etixx do sign Martin then it gives Alaphilippe a free role for the hilly classics without the pressure of leadership, how would that hinder his development? Also if you are the Etixx management then why wouldnt you want to have multiple options in the hilly classics instead of going all in with one young rider Good point,but D.Martin still has a few years in him which may slow down Alaphilppe a lot.Plus he might be working for Dan Martin in Ardennes.I hope Etixx doesn't waste Alaphilppe |

Well Alaphilippe finshed second at LBL this year so he has the stamina and is as fast as Valverde and Gerrans at the death, he's an Ardennes winner in waiting, so it would be a shame for them to waste using him as a super domestique. |

Where's the super dom talk coming from? Considering how lame Ardennes are raced these years there should be no problem having two such riders in one team..Katusha with Rodriguez and Moreno, Moreno never helps Purito in any way just go along himself, no problems.

I thought about this after I wrote it and agree with what you just said, I agree that Alaphillippe and Martin (if he was at Etixx) could work well, especially since Martin likes to go long whereas Alaphilippe is more suited to hanging back Gerrans style.
Actually Katusha have had three options over the last year, as G.Caruso has been another attack option on the final climb at LBL. |

Point ..
there is nothing bad to have several card to play. Like at Roubaix ..Ettix has 4-5 riders who can win it. Well sometimes it wont work out even then..sometimes does.
But it is hugh advantage to have such a classics team. They are not after GT's ..and it is great and smart move. I like that team. |

The problem is that Etixx have too many options when it comes to the cobbled classics, so it doesn't always work |

Having multiple options only work during PCM games but in real life it's not generally good, look at etixx they messed up a lot during the cobble classics too. |

If you think about it, Alaphilippe still achieved what he did, with Kwiat as the main leader, Kwiat won AGR, Alaphilippe came 2nd at LBL when Kwiat finished 21st. It does work in real life, it just works better in PCM because riders dont really have personalities and for the most part are completely fine splitting leadership.
