Hi I was wondering what the wierdest transfers any of you guys have ever had. Mine may be the season turn from 2012/2013 and Goss joined Euskaltel - Euskadi and Sagan joined FDJ. They both look very odd on their new teams... |

For me it has to be when Cavendish joined Euskaltel - Euskadi. The same season where Tony Martin as double world ITT champion decided to seek new challenges at Christina Watches - Onfone.

Gerrans going to Argus Shimano and Gesink going to Orica-Greenedge are pretty surprising to me |

Cavendish to Node4
Kreuziger to Amore Vita
Nibali to Nippo

I consider both to be comparably realistic.

You are probably right, I just didná expect them to leave their teams seeing their nationality |

At PCM 11 Greipel went to HTC in 2011 and in 2012 Cavendish left HTC to go to Omega-Pharma. In the same game Team Leopard-Treak has both Schleck brothers and Contador.

On which DB? Not too suprising on the orgional where he is only 71Mo  , But I guess it's wierd if it was PCM Daily where he is 77 or so (not too sure about this correct me if I'm wrong) |

In my career, I have Degenkolb at Euskaltel, Van Garderen at IAM Cycling and Howes, who has grown to become one of the top Ardennes specialists, has just signed to ride from the next season for Christina Watches.

Vichot has just lead Goss out perfectly, They also have Demare in reserve! As well as world champion Wegmann who rode for me last year, I was annoyed I didn't renew his contract as as soon as Euskaltel snapped him up he progressed in hill (I though he was declining) and then won the world champs |

Pozzato doesnt sound too weird, BMC has good cobbled riders with Ballan and Oss who are also Italian.

Interesting, jest realised Larsson went to NSP - GHOST (now CNP), and he is now the 4th best TTist in the game (With Van Garderen) |

Rojas going to Endura and Boonen joining up with Cancellara to make a frightening cobbles-duo at RadioShack were a couple of surprising transfers in the last transfer window in my Nordic Cycling story
