You should compare it with Topsport Vlaanderen. Very similar to Roompot, I think.

No, it's very similar to Froomebot.

Froomebot's Creamy Chamber Pot.
How's that for a nickname? I'm liking this team already...

Apologies if this has been mentioned, where is Sagan going to?
And what about Rui Costa and Tiago Machado, will they stay in their teams? Thanks. |

Juraj is going to Tinkoff-Saxo, I doubt anyone will want to sign his talentless brother.
Costa has extended with Lampre https://www.cyclin...re-merida/ , no idea about Machado though.

I can imagine Roompot sounding very funny to English speakers. Some people might think there's an Amsterdam cannabis coffeeshop sponsoring the team. 
It's pronounced 'Rohm-pot', though.
Two others that are linked to the team are Berden de Vries (Jo Piels) and Brian van Goethem (Metec). Two of the stronger riders in the Dutch continental teams. |

The two other riders you mentioned are 99% sure. |

It seems like the future of Cannondale as a WT team is over, they're just bleading empty. This means they'll have to merge or go to PCT (or dissapear altogher, let's hope not).
This means that next year a new WT spot is free. Which team is most likely to take it? IAM, NetApp/Bora? Maybe Cofidis with their new signings? Or the actual creation of Team Alonso? |

Don't think Cannondale will be even able to hold on WT slot even if they want, since they'll miss the points, due to Sagan's departure me thinks?
As weird as it sounds to prefer a team with no confirmed riders, but from the listed ones, Team Alonso seems to be the best bet for World Tour.

It depends. If Team Alonso will start signing riders, then they are surely the best bet. Otherwise I'd go for Cofidis. Nobody else, I think, would want to step up.

Team Alonso?
What is this..just air 2,5 years from now. With Euskaltel he missed best oportunity to get WT team...and spanish team. Perfect for him.
He wont get Contador (best friend), Sagan, Wiggins, Froome, Porte, Kreuziger, Cavendish, Quintana, Valverde, Nibali, Cancellara etc. etc.
To late for all of that..again.
Anyway by..by team Alonso for 2015 season. |

He might not get the best team and been quiet around them since the giro but he could get a decent team to start with if they get the world tour licence (Valverde, Konig, S.Sanchez, Viviani, Betancur,, Boasson Hagen etc) and Caja Rujal is not confirmed for 2015 right so maybe raid them for Spanish riders..

It depends on the fact if there will be at least 19 teams wanting the WT licence.
AFAIK, they don't need any points to hold on WT licence as long as there aren't 18 teams with more points wanting that WT slot. |

2.5 years? Try 5 years!!! There has been talk of a Alonso team since 2009 and so far all it has been is talk.
