I didn't expect this at all:
Bonifazio rescind his contract with Trek and signs with Barhain |

Nibali and Contador in the same team, the two most entertaining GC riders united.. just imagine at le Tour against Sky and Movistar phalanx. It'd be glorious attacking with the occassional backstabbing involved.

Barhain signs a promising Spanish rider, Ivan Garcia Cortina. Good in sprint and cobbles |

Mixed feelings - will be a useful domestique for the classics for them, just hope he can get some license at such a big team. If Schreurs makes the jump could be a nifty wee Kiwi duo.

Odd move if it's true, he's a good little climber but doesn't look suited to a Sky mountain train

Indeed a odd move, i have a hard time seing him in the TDF. Maybe he will be put in the Vuelta, to strengthen Froomes chances of a TDF+Vuelta. He did ride very will in this edition. |

Kinda expected, him being a close friend and long time domestique of Nibali. Still waiting for a few top class mountain helpers for Nibali, so far he only has Siutsu. |

I think Nibali has faith in his buddies being his domestiques

Buddies won't cut it when he is in the leaders jersey and needs a strong team to control the race in the dolomites  |

Yeah, it would be cool, altho Nibali is all but confirmed for EL CENTISIMO. Rightfully so. |

Even when he pulls, there is no drafting. 
They have like 8-9 better mountain domestiques, I have a hard time figuring this out I must admit. |

weird move. Not sure what's going on at FDJ but both Geniez and Elissonde leaving and haven't added any one worth remembering so far.

I'm gonna go with, Money. FDJ can't pay the same plain and simple. On the plus side i can't wait to see Elissonde in the TDF squad and pulling Froome away from Bardet on the climbs

Sky was tempting Pinot in 2014 as well if I'm not wrong. Many FDJ riders after a breakthrough leave the team and are competing elsewhere. Two examples are exception - Thibault Pinot and Arnaud Demare.
It's painfully obvious that FDJ has the smallest budget among the WT teams and in fact it's comparable with that of an pro-Continental team.

Marcato will join the new Chinese WT team from Wanty, according to Het Nieuwsblad.

Brailsford has said in the past that he wants to develop the next French Tour winner. I guess Pinot is the best candidate at the moment.
