To be honest, with that kind of moustache he just had to sign with Garmin.  |

Pretty sure I read this rumoured a little while back so not to surprised it's happened, considering all that he's gone through in the last couple of seasons I can understand why he might of wanted a move to a new environment to try and give his career a little kick along. Hope it works out for him

Lachlan Morton joins Dimension Data, great to see him return to a high profile squad.

Francisco Ventoso to BMC.
Interesting, and confusing. Especially after being on Spanish teams for his whole career prior to this.

FIFA transfer. I guess he kind of takes the spot of Burghardt of being domestique for spring classics and protecting leaders in stage races, but still... 34 year old vet, that has raced most of his career in Spanish teams, joining an Anglophone team... |

Whilst he may have been on Spanish teams, isn't the language of the peloton mainly English or French nowadays, in as much as it's the most common language used to organise things between different teams?
If I'm not mistaken in thinking this then it makes a little more sense in as much as he would likely already know the language (or at least enough to get by in the squad) as opposed to signing for Lotto or Lotto where the Belgian (does it have it's own language?) or Dutch Language is something he'd have to pick up along the way.

Last final paycheck, BMC pays well and has nice perks. I doubt he gives a fuck if he doesn't speak even ounce of English, he'll just ride and earn the $$$

Hopefully now he's had some time away from the WT he's ready to commit to that level again, certainly has the engine and did look good this season

And so they have to give Sanchez another year contract so he can translate for Ventoso.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Nobody for 2020 and Poels is the only rider so far for 2019
