Alongisde him, Haga, Craddock and Olivier have joined Argos for upcoming season.
Mertens extends with Belkin for 2 more years.
Yep, Sprinters, Talents and no climber. Sounds like Puma |

Olivier is a good climber. Craddock as well, but he's more of a TT specialist. |

Yes, Olivier is a good climber indeed. And don't forget Barguil. Haga is okay as well.
So, will Van der Haar aim more for road racing then, and less for cyclo-cross, or?

Van der Haar is a decent climber as well. He's more of a hills rider. Probably gained that skill from cyclo-cross. |

I didn't suggest that Van der Haar is a great climber, I was just wondering if he's going to focus on road cycling only, since he'll ride for a WT team.

I know, I just did some research But he should dedicate more time to road cycling, as he signed the contract. But I think he's going to switch along the season between road cycling and cyclo-cross. |

Maybe he can become better as Stybar or Boom if he starts fast on the road

I hope he stays on cyclo-cross, where he'll be world class next year. I hate to see everyone going to the road |

I agree, I think they should try their best in their categories (cyclo, mountain bike). When they already won everytgood resulthing or if they got a lot of good results they can try their luck on the road. |

On road probably he will be paid much butter than in cyclocross.

Stybar and Boom are actually earning less now than they used to earn while Cyclo-crossing. They got 8000€ for almost every race they started in CX plus a normal wage. |

Alejandro Marque >>> Movistar
That team should've picked up Brenes too, he was even riding for their continental team... |

Brenes is already 25 years. Champion Systems would be good for him

Still, he wouldn't be that bad of a signing. Ansious to see Marque in the WT, hope to see him help Rojas getting tons of 4th places. |

Sébastien Turgot joins AG2r-la Mondiale for three years. Very good signing by the team, adds a very solid cobbled rider, strenghting their depth. Alexis Gougeard is one another rider announced so far, won Avenir prologue and leading Avenir so far.
Both very shrewd signings by the team.
( Gaudin may leave too, as Europcar priority is to keep Voeckler and Rolland )
