PCM tranfers like once again. 
I don't think it's unrealistic. Sure some PCM stuff is stupid (Klöden to Caja Rural, etc.), but most stuff that happens is perfectly within the real of possibility.
It's not like belgians teams signing colombians, Movistar signing germans or euskaltel signing a slovenian 
Anyway, Pozzato is close to rejoining Katusha, but he also has an offer from Movistar

Madiot denied. I don't think I'd ever look at FDJ the same again, if that happened.
Not that I'm looking at them the same since I've seen Pinot performing, but that'd be another level. |

Are people trying to make this the new Jimmy Casper to AG2R or something?
Anyway, Dumoulin to AG2R. Team sprinter: Dumoulin. Team GC man: Pozzovivo. Which one is shorter?
Also, RJvRensburg negotiating with Argos

Those were news reports linking him. Now he's actually confirmed he's negotiating with them

If I'm not mistaken the Dumoulin --> AG2R news are also pretty old, but it may have been made official or something now, so I don't want to Jimmy Casper you right now, before I check that out closer.

A French rider who for a couple months in 2003 looked like the next Jalabert and then hasn't accomplished anything of note since.

Agreed. FDJ is my favorite team, but they would cease as such immediately if that happened. Rebellin probably does have a lot of points, which is the only reason I could see them thinking about it. Isn't a justification though. |

Don't you mean the next André Darrigade or something? There will never be another Jalabert most likely

Turned out to be the next Moncassin, at best.
Sagan is heavier, but he seems to be able to do just anything on a bike, so, maybe ? |

Sagan will never climb mountains anywhere near as well as Jalabert, much less win a GT like Jaja. And he'll never TT anywhere near as well as Jalabert in a distance above 10kms so he'll never be TT world champion like Jaja.
Anyway, Rabobank announce they've signed a few riders as a sprint train. Wtf.
Also, Favilli to Lampre. Good signing.

Sagan was what I was thinking as well, and I definitely agree on the TT, but I'm not so sure on the climbing. Unlike most sprinter types, his body doesn't seem naturally so thick. I definitely could see him slim down and gain some real strength on the climbs. I doubt he'd be GT material, but...Kelly??? I mean, he had some really good GT results as well, but those were kind of fluke-ish with the terrain. Great one-week stage racer, a good bet in any type of classic, and someone who has the capability to do a good GC result with a favorable course? Kind of like Moser, just trading Kelly's sprinting for Moser's TTing. Also, can we officially declare Francesco Moser winning the Giro the strangest thing that has ever happened in cycling? It's' just...bizarre...Of course, there is one way Sagan could win a bunch of GTs, get cancer. Seriously, young Lance and young Sagan aren't that different body type-wise. Might be difficult for him to do naturally, but if Sagan had the same opportunity to completely remake his body like Lance did, he might be able to manage it.
I said Jalabert because I was thinking sprinter with a good kick on the uphills, but yeah, probably not the best comparison, I'd just checked out his palmares, and he had some pretty good cobbles results as well...maybe I should have said De Vlaeminck.

I agree with most of that, but on Moser:
Moser could climb pretty well. Think Wiggins 2009 level of climbing or so. With a Cancellara like ability on cobbles and TTs, and a good sprint. Then in 1984 he started working with Conconi's revolutionary blood doping methods and suddenly he was flying like never before.
Plus, the Giro was mostly flat and the biggest mountain day was cancelled so Moser would win the Giro.
EDIT: Also, Fignon had a major bonk in one of the few mountain stages due to eating something - can't remember what - that he found out then that he was allergic to or something.
