One of the finest cyclist of all time passed away today. Rest in piece Felice Gimondi. |

Hopefully that means Dan the Man can get his mojo back. Especially some stage raids would be nice. Hermans has been blossoming at ICA, quite contrary to UAE where even riders like Gaviria and Aru become average.
The connection between UAE to ICA is odd though, maybe he did it out of spite.

Hermans will probably be a better domestique for him than anything from UAE.
Don't forget Henao, for me that's the worst of them all.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

On the other hand Pogacar is doing very well but I have no idea why he renewed his contract with UAE.

Victor Campenaerts to Team NTT (Dimension Data) on a 3 year contract. Great team for time trialist beacuse of the BMC bike. |

Are Team NTT on the way back to relevancy? This is a really good transfer for them after a few years were, at lest in my eyes, they've really slipped backwards and been forgettable.

They're behind Wanty, Androni, Cofidis, Direct Energy, Israel and even Corendon on the PCS ranking

They were quite fun when they revived EBH's career and Cummings was going on stage raids and Meintjes got inexplicible hate on the level of froome just for following wheels but ever since then, they have really been irrelevant to an almost comical degree

Last year everyone got excited with Valgren’s transfer yet the best he did was two stages ago in Binck Bank Tour. |

All these PCT signings just show us that the battle for WorldTour spots would be fierce.

Tom Dumoulin confirmed to leave Sunweb for Jumbo (I think their latest tweet makes it clear...) |

Roglic, Dumoulin, Kruijswijck and an upcoming De Plus, that's too much really.

Not necessarily too much but it`s similar as Sky/Ineos now GT rider wise.
Wouldn`t be surprised if we see 4 of those 2 teams in the top7 of a GT next season. With Bennett as well, they have 4 GT top10 riders with De Plus obviously potential future top10.
And I also wouldn`t be surprised if Jumbo NL handles it better as Movistar trio TdF 2019. |

I am not worried about Jumbo, they had great team already this year. Sunweb is fucked. Too late to look or sign leaders. |

A three year deal for a thirty seven year old, they must have a lot of faith in him  |
