Leipheimer, Velits, Cataldo, De Weert. They are ok now, I think. 
He will go to Vacansoleil, AG2R or Cofidis IMO.

Cataldo and De Weert are pretty second-string though and could ride in support of someone like Brajkovic who would stand a decent chance at the Vuelta maybe where a lot of the top riders aren't present. But I see what you mean, they have more GT depth than I remembered.
I would love to see him at Vacansoleil - that team desperately needs a stage racer and they have a lot of money to blow now that they aren't paying Ricco and Mosquera.

Yep, Vacansoleil please!!! Love that team, they deserve a spotin the World Tour, with great attacking riders (Poels, Hoogerland, Marcato, Leukemans, Feillu etc.)

Brajkovic isn't a GT rider, that's been proven several times. even Bruyneel admits that Brajkovic' peaks are shorter than Schleck's attacks.

Movistar is looking to sign Quintana. That would be an awesome transfer. |

He's still way younger than Evans was when he won the TdF this year, so we keep faith in him.... or false hope....
He will never win the Tour, but should be able to get a top 5 in a Giro or Vuelta with a slightly weaker field and easier route someday (well, at least top 10).

Would be nice to see Quintana riding for Movistar!
And I think Brajkovic will either go to Astana or Quick-Step!

Cyclingnews says Brajkovic has offers from Astana and two french teams.
I have no doubt at all he has an offer from Europcar, they have a lot of free budget and want a foreign GC leader

Turns out Manuel Belletti isn't going to Europcar or Lampre (in contradiction of earlier news). He's going to Ag2r. Meanwhile Fabio Aru is going to Astana and Jack Bauer says he's drawn the interest of 2 WT teams. |

Brajkovic has been rumoured to Saxo Bank / CSC by the end of pretty much all his contracts, so I'm guessing Riis is interested again even though there hasn't been any rumours this time around. |

I would be very surprised if Saxo Bank is not in the fight for Brajkovic' signature. I remember reading Riis saying that this "transfer window" has been hard, thanks to HTC going down, and the merging of Leopard and Radioshack, but he was definitely not done signing riders, and he had at least one "big name." |

I heard that OPQS has already signed 30 riders..
