Good point. Money=#1 priority, but no one cares here about cycling

And it sucks that they don't.

Sagan to BMC in the future is indeed very likely, they are the only one who can pay him in few years anyway.
But anything can happen till that time, who knows, BMC can even stop existing.

Juan Sebastian Henao Marin and Daniel Jaramillo are the two Colombians Sky want to sign as mentioned last week.
Orica are intrested in them aswell.
Henao is Sergio's cousin

I've heard of a lot of rather unknown foreign riders by browsing random race results, but those two...

Jaramillo looks reasonably promising, can't find anything on Henao Marin. |

Sebastian Henao has similar mentatlity to his brother, is a climber and a puncheur, and not too bad against the clock. Could well be very good climber for the future and very similar to his brother.

Olivier Le Gac will be trainee at FDJeux next August.
Really looking forward to seeing him at the pros, he was world champion in his first junior year 2 (?) years ago. Big potential, I'd say. |

Rui Costa is rumoured to have made a pre-agreement with a new team.
It hasn't been confirmed as far as I know, but it wouldn't surprise me. With Valverde, Quintana and Intxausti at Movistar, he'll never get to lead wherever he wants. Sure, they probably wouldn't mind helping him at Suisse like Valverde last year, but he's not getting a captain's role in the Ardennes, f.e.

Wonder what team Costa can have a leading role. |

There are plenty of teams who could use a rider like him, but probably can't afford his wage. Thinking mainly of Euskaltel and Cannondale.
Anyway, I'd guess it's Trek if the rumour is true. They've got a couple of Portuguese riders and probably wouldn't mind having another GC rider if Frank (and Andy) were to leave. Plus, he wouldn't take too much focus away from Cancellara.

Trek/RadioShack/Leopard/wtv for Rui? Hm... not sure if I like the idea... Euskaltel I don't think they can afford him, especially after these two seasons, seems like he might have a big salary. Cannondale could be a good choice if he had some support. Or even Saxo Bank, apart from Contador or Majka, I don't see other guys who can take away Costa's leadership. Kreuziger is an uncertainty, Roche aswell. Even Majka might help Rui... |

Sander Armee will go to Lotto. Jasper Stuyven is on his way to OPQS

Indeed, Armee doesn't have amazing results, but will be a solid domestique and could do well in few races for Lotto.
And Stuyven choose the team best for him.

Leezer extends with Blanco.
Renshaw and Slagter however don't. Those two were already rumoured some time ago, first to OPQS and latter to few teams, but most prominent link has been GreenEdge.

Yes, GreenEdge, sign Slagter. You don't have nearly any classics men.
Just make sure to never sign any stage racers
