he should leave, Belkin already has like 2-4 GT riders with Mollema, Ten Dam, Gesink and Kruijswijk. however the teams that you mentioned aren't really good teams for him in my opinion (excluding Orica, which I think can be really good for him together with the Yates)
@Jesleyh
I find this more news than an actually transfer as nothing is conformed yet

Of those, at the moment, only Mollema is superior, to be honest.
2 good GT riders in a team is not necassarily a problem. Belkin starts GTs with multiple leaders often anyway.
But Orica would be good.

Ten Dam is 33, and if Keldermann continues like this, he's surely better than Kruijswijk and probably Gesink as well (who, I could imagine, may not focus on GTs that much anymore, but maybe someone closer to the team can answer that). I think staying at Belkin wouldn't be the worst option.
€: Zabel'd... But glad to see that someone agrees

Westra won't defend his Dutch time-trial title. So, who's going to take it then? Boom, Terpstra, Clement and Keizer are the main favourites then im, unless I forgot someone.

Already thought I forgot someone. According to his results this season he's the main favourite indeed. But you'll never know what happens. Last year Terpstra suddenly came second four seconds behind Westra. He's a good time-trialist but I didn't expect him to come so close.

Cosy and sweet Twitter-exchange between Bruyneel, Andrew McQuaid and Mads Kaggestad.
Edit: I'd embed more from the conversation, but I dont have the skills. Long story short, Bruyneel goes on full defence mode.

Belkin will not renew it's sponsorship contract, meaning the team will have to look for a new sponsor for next season(s). |

Hmmm I wonder who is interested in sponsoring the team. Maybe Michael Boogerd can raise more money and just take Belkin instead of a whole new team . |

Well, I can guess we'll see a lot of Belkin action for the remainder of the season to attract sponsors (or contracts with other teams). |

Belkin is a good team with more than decent results imo. If they don't get a new sponsor I'm afraid of what's going to happen . |

I hope they get a new sponsor, we had enough teams disbanding last year
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
