I just say, if he doesn't get a place with TSV, Argos can get similar wildcards, has a training focus on young riders and there are no absolute leaders at his speciality.
Argos would be a great alternative. TSV should be first choice, though.
To be honest I don't think TSV has delivered many high-class pro's so far |

No, but they remain a decent training team and they produced many solid riders. |

First transfer gossip for the Tour de France - reports suggest Team Sky have signed Australian Rohan Dennis for 2013.
Very promising talent. 5th at TdU and won the KoM. Won Thüringen Rundfahrt this month too.

Hopefully he'll grow nicely at Sky.
I also heard about some guy Caleb Ewan at the start of the season, I wonder if he'll turn pro, he won a bunch of sprints there. |

Well obviously Sky has more to offer then them. Whether it's general atmosphere, different approach, concepts etc. I have no idea.
Sky overall, is the best team in cycling right now. So that might plat some role too. Doubt though.
I doubt it's money, as both would have offered similar amounts with new sponsor for GE.

I'm thinking it would have to be money. Given he is a track cyclist and started out that way he would know almost everyone in the GE team already not to mention management. Plus GE would have put everything into his development (as double U23 champion he is pretty much the biggest road prospect out there).

He is only 17 so not yet. He is a huge talent for the future though. He still has a track career ahead of him for the moment, which is where most of the Australain talents start off.

samdiatmh, he's riding at Rabo Conti indeed for past 3 years now. Next year's he turning Pro at Rabobank.
Some rumours from Rai's Radiocorsa :
- Andrea Guardini seems to be almost surely leaving Farnese Vini for Saxo Bank as it did a very big offer
- Roberto Ferrari should replace Petacchi at Lampre
- Kreuziger and Kiserlovski minght end to Saxo for help Contador
- -Sascha Modolo wanna leave Colnago for go into a WT team and got an interesting offer from Astana
- Bennati would leave Radioshack for go to Katusha as Freire's replacement
- Renshaw almost confirmed going back as Cav's leadout
- Ignazio Moser has been seen wearing BMC kit with some BMC guys during a ride on the route of Firenze's Worlds
P.S. Thanks go to Michele for getting those infos

Renshaw to Team Sky with Cavendish again would be a brilliant move for him |

Alakagom, where did you get that stuff from? Who's Michele, and does any article go with any of those rumours? |
