All they need to do is change their jersey and they'd be one of my favourite teams next year

André Cardoso (Caja Rural) didn't confirmed that he will go to Garmin next year, but that definitively would be a great move.
After Rui Costa signing for Lampre, Ricardo Mestre is probably going to return to a portuguese team (Efapel?) while Tiago Machado and Nélson Oliveira still don't have teams for next year. |

Well, if that confirms, Ravard probably will end up on a Bretagne Seche or another of the French Teams, Belletti probably will go back to Bardiani since Modolo is leaving and Iglinskiy probably will go to Astana again maybe. Gadret, well, probably to Europcar or FDJ. |

Astana would have very little use of Iglinskiy. Would surprise me if they took him back.

They could still use him as a water carrier.
Not sure if Bardiani would be interested in Belletti, as they're banking on youth a lot in their philosophy. So they might as well give Fortin and Colbrelli a chance to lead the sprints. If they're smart, they will target Ponzi. |

I'd think of a more fishy team than FDJ for Gadret. I'd be surprised (and disappointed) if he goes there. |

Cofidis seems like the obvious choice to me

Europcar, maybe Cofidis indeed (not sure what they're up to nowadays), Bretagne (same remark as before), or Roubaix.
He might as well go abroad too, like in Italy, and target the Giro. Too bad for him Vini are folding.

That was the first team that came to my mind. But since Scarponi could be leaving I think Lampre won't pass if they have a chance to sign him. |

Coquard has apparently extended his contract with Europcar, for everyone who was worried about them losing their talented riders. Like I said in the last couple of days, I remember Bernaudeau saying that he wanted to ensure that Coquard got all the help he needed to be the best he can be, so he is clearly interested in investing money in him.
I have no better source than this tweet:

Now what has Gadret done?
You mean apart from being a living chemical experiment, I assume?

I once walked into a pharmacy... I mean I bumped into Gadret.
Spoiler I've never met him. That did not happen. |

Great spoiler there, you're not taking any risks, aren't you? |

We were speaking about Bardet as one of the most talented riders at AG2R the other day, so it is interesting to see this news pop up:
That's a nice long contract for him and will hopefully take off some of the pressure to perform that a lot of French talents seem to falter under.
