Well, BMC would seem like the perfect fit if he should change the uniforms. Hushovd,Ballan,Evans are behind their top times, Gilbert is doubtful, so they can use the superstar.
Does BMC also train in USA? Because California is like second home for Sagan, so Cannondale is perfect for him.

And then the big one, Cannondale seems to want to register the team from Italian to American, meaning Sagan's contract would expire with the team. Seems they say BMC could offer any amount he wants to join the team. How far this is truth? Dunno, but I guess it is somehow possible.
How can an administrative change like that make a contract expire? |

Ulissi is not only chased by Sky rather obviously, but Orica too.

If Sagan goes to BMC, how are they going to solve the two-team-leader-problem? Because I don't see Gilbert working for Sagan. |

Same way they've solved it so far: By sucking to the point that only one of them is anywhere near the front at the best of times
Ah BMC....massive amounts of money, combined with 30 year old training methods. Gotta love the stupidity of it all

Is there talk about Sagan going to BMC? Won't he stay at Cannondale? |

Few more rumours. Cavendish is requesting Renshaw at all costs next year for OPQS. As well as that BMC seemed to have made 4 million / per year for three years offer to Sagan, so yeah, he will have right now hard time deciding what team he wants to ride.

I hope Sagan stays. There's more in life than money. Liquigas (Cannondale) took him on board when OPQS declined him, so I'd stay! Together with Moser he can do great things! In BMC he'll just catch that virus Evans and Hushovd keep talking about  |

On the other hand, a cycling career is a short one and can easily be scuppered by injury or many other things (advances in testing ) so it would be very difficult to overlook an offer like that. |

Rabobank Development Team to turn completely Dutch next season - leaving Zabel and Zepunkte to search for new teams.
https://www.cyclingonline.nl/artikel/6...akter.html
Zabel should have plenty of options to choose from. Katusha, Argos, NetApp, or even OPQS?

Daan Olivier has signed with Argos - Shimano. He joins the team next season, and has signed for three years. |

Daan Olivier to Argos? Nice, logical step. Aren't really a lot good climbers at Argos though, maybe Vacansoleil would be better...
Daan has some serious talent indeed, believe me

It's nice to see that they keep playing the youth card but they could get in some trouble with points.

Argos?
Hopefully they'll be out of PT in one or two years |

Why? You can't have anything against Argos
But yeah, they lack the real WT level, but so does for example Euskaltel. Both teams only have 2 really good riders(Anton counted )

Seconded. As much as you can argue that they're perhaps the weakest WT team (although I think that's Euskaltel), they're at least not involved in any doping scandals.
Least suspicious WT team, imo.

Argos has got some talent, but they seriously lack depth. I don't think they really belong in the WT. They're good and all, but mostly they can get Wildcards wherever they want anyway. Same with Euskaltel, 8 wasted places at Ronde Van Vlaanderen, 8 spots that other people would love to get.
Team Europcar is a great example, they admit they don't need WT and get Wildcards anyway

Clearly you forgot about Team Sky

It could be that he signs for Argos because Vacansoleil and Blanco still haven't got a sponsor next year. |
