Van Garderen to BMC I think is quite an interesting signing.

According to het Nieuwsblad Jelle and Dennis Vanendert (yes they're brothers) will ride for Lotto next year. |

The same Lefévère who last year was going on and on about how he had a signed deal with Contador for this season.
Lefévère is like Vino: a compulsive liar. Don't listen to anything he says.

Yeah and then he signed Andy Cappelle. 
Anyway, if HTC will continue, I am almost sure that Velits' brothers will stay with them, they are really happy in the team. Only way I see them going is that Lefevre would give them some crazy money. And that isn't that impossible, Czech owner of the team wants Czechs and Slovaks in the team and there aren't much other free GT riders as well.

Roughly translated:
The winner of the last Liège-Bastogne-Liège was contacted by numerous teams, but has recently been convinced to join Cadel Evans at BMC.

There are rumours that Geraint Thomas might leave Sky - https://www.cyclin...skys-coop. He's certainly listening to other offers in any case... |

@TeamSky Team Sky
We're delighted to announce that Geraint Thomas has signed a new three-year deal with Team Sky - details/reaction at https://www.teamsk...35,00.html
Geraint Thomas has signed a new three-year deal which will keep him at Team Sky through until the end of 2014.
The Welshman has been one of the big success stories of the Tour de France, wearing the young rider's white jersey for most of the opening week after finishing sixth on the opening stage.
He also produced a brilliant performance to lead out teammate Edvald Boasson Hagen for his victory on stage six and then won the combativity award for heading a breakaway for most of the 12th stage when the race hit the high mountains in the Pyrenees.
Thomas, who also illustrated his versatility when playing a starring role in the spring Classics and won his first overall title in a week-long road race at Bayern-Rundfahrt at the end of May, said of his new contract: "It's great news to be able to commit my future to Team Sky.
"The team have shown their potential over the last 18 months and I am delighted to have been a part of that success. The management have shown real faith in me as a rider and I feel like I'm improving all the time.
"The future is really exciting for Team Sky and British Cycling and I'm thrilled I will be able to play a part in it."
Bright future
Team Princical Dave Brailsford said of Thomas putting pen to paper: "We are delighted that Geraint has re-signed for another three years with Team Sky.
"We have been determined from the start to build and develop a team around the very best homegrown talent like Geraint.
"The last two weeks at the Tour de France have underlined again his world class abilities and we look forward to seeing even more from him over the next three years."
Team Sky Senior Sports Director Sean Yates underlined Thomas' value to the squad as he explained: "G is one of the strongest riders in the team.
"You can say anything to him and he carries it out to perfection - whether it's 'be there with Rigoberto on the climb for as long as you can', 'be there with Edvald in the sprint', 'Lead out Swifty' or whatever, he can do it all.
"He's always got the legs and we've seen it time and again this year - he's worth five men really and it's great news. He's fantastic to work with and this gives everyone another lift."

Well to be fair to him Andy Cappelle looks a little bit like Alberto Contador if you're really drunk and squint a bit. |

I have transfer news that none of the rest of you have
But I'm going to keep my mouth shut until an official source catches on to it.
I just want to bask in the glory of me actually having transfer info that no-one else on the internet has caught on to. (I googled to double check)

No it's not me. A strong rider is leaving one big team to join another big team.

RadioShack are probably involved, aren't they ? Rest to know if the strong rider is joining or leaving them. |

It doesn't work like that.
I can easily say that I have some info, and when it's published: "Hah, I saw it coming!" -- but who knows if you did unless you tell us who's involved? |

Indeed!!
You have to send the information by private PM to a site admin (like Crue) who will keep it quiet and verify that you really did have info BEFORE it breaks. |

Actually Levi could just say the name of the rider without mentioning the team he goes to. |
