That's all I wanted to say...
Some team will give him a contract once he stops asking for much more money than he's worth.
Well according to himself no one has even approached him...

Caja Rural with some really nice and wise signings. Parra Bustamente confirmed ( talented Colombian climber; 7th Tour de l'Avenir; 22th Tour de l'Ain ). Also Vigano from Lampre rumoured to be part of Lasca's train.
As well as extending with Fernandez ( Avenir winner ) and Fraile.

Knowing Samu and given the way he's worded it, I wouldn't be surprised if "no team offers me a contract" actually means "no teams offers me nearly as much as I was making at Euskaltel".

Also there is no way that his agent hasn't been spruiking him to anyone who will listen, so maybe no one has approached Samu, but his agent has approached them with an unreasonable offer.

Haven't seen it here:
Lars van der Haar --> Argos-Shimano Development Team (from March '14)
They also signed some more riders, among them are Ludvigsson and Schachmann.

Will he be able to ride at all in the early season ? Cause Astana belongs to MPCC, not that I think they care much about MPCC rules though. |

Isn't it only against their rules if the suspension was 6 months or longer?
Aru leading at the Giro should be cool

Alexis Vuillermoz confirmed with AG2R on a 2 year contract. Very happy to see him find a team. |

Correct. Vdv, Zab and Danielson could immediately race for Garmin again.

That would be an insane transfer. He'd win every British race going! Oh and it's NFTO (Not For The Ordinary). |

No, it's a new British Conti team for next season. At the moment, their biggest signings have been the Downings.

Aru leading the Giro? Sorry I just dn't see that working out next year. Maybe in 2 years and definitely 3, but 7 months from now seems like a stretch for me.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

Aru is actually only a good climber no more, he's not complete |

I don't get what your trying to say? I don't think Aru is developed enough yet is what I'm saying.

He won't have a Chance in the GC, but if he goes for stage-wins, one or two should be achievable.

I would have hoped for Fuglsang to get the Giro and then help Nibali at the Tour. Guess I'll have to hope he gets the Vuelta now.
And I agree with you guys - Aru does not seem developed enough. Scarponi, Fuglsang and Kangert are all better - but maybe this means they really are going all out for the Tour and Nibali. |

That's what I'm saying. He should be the free element. Not the leader.

No disrespect to Aru, I think he has a great future ahead of him, but that's just spitting in the face of Scarponi. |
