Agreed, and Sky dos look like great team as they care for their riders really well, and having Uran as team mate should help a lot to 'climatize' in the European Cycling.
There were rumours that Rujano might join Sky before Vuelta starts, we will see too about that, quite possible I would say.

I still hope With the trend of Uran and Haneo, it would look rather funny though, seeing Rujano in Sky jersey

Not yet They provided list with provisional squad, but they can change that sqaud easily.
No official announcments about Vuelta squad yet : https://www.teamsk...l#month=08
And Sky confirmed Henao transfer as well. Finally, feel like this transfer been going for over a year already

Pinotti might join Sky, at least he has an offer from them, as well as from Geox and Garmin.
And GreenEdge wants Larsson to join them.

Casper goes to AG2R to bring them some points they need to secure WorldTour license for the next year?

I doubt the points he scored in the Continental Tour are of much interest to them as far as a WT licence is concerned. |

If I recall correctly, the never-fully-explained UCI criteria for the WT licenses take into account results in the CT as well. So, I guess a ranking such as CQ would be a better approach to know how many points each rider is worth than the WT one.

An interview with Skil´s DS Merijn Zeeman.
https://www.radspo..._71195.htm
In short: They haven´t made any confiramtion about Degenkolb yet but he says a rider like him would be great. And Tony Martin would be a dream, but it´s highly unrealistic to sign him.
Either he´s lying in the interview or Martin will sign for another team.

Yep. And some reactions are pretty funny.

lulz
I think Theo means that he will learn how to lead out from Renshaw (and Reshaw will be the sprinter).

That's also what Vacansoleil is saying and why they aren't affraid for loosing their' WT license (7th place in CQ-ranking). Astana is the lowest in rank of the WT-teams and without big signings, it wouldn't be strange if they will loose their' license.
Also remarkable is that AG2R has only 3 (!) victories this season. What a disgrace for a World Tour Team. |

Hence Casper? A last ditch effort to sign someone they hope may salvage their chances of staying in the WT? To bad that it doesn't work this way in PCM. Sure, you have had a crap season and are losing your license, but you are signing the top three ranked riders. But we won't worry about that. You suck.
