Indeed!
Plus, Cannondale is an American company, I think they would like to see a quite well known rider like Dombrowski ride at their team.
He's not very well know To hardcore cycling fans yes. To most, not. Not many people watch AtoC and even less GiroBio. However it would be great signing for them, however BMC will stand in their way surely.
Moreno Moser has been linked with Sky somehow. No idea how and why, but it's been mentioned on TeamSkyFans and the site is usually quite reliable as few admins there have internal roles at Team Sky. Don't think it's going happen though.

Well, at least he'll get known
Moser needs to stay at Cannondale, IMO.
Sky is getting waaaay to overpowered, if they aren't already...

Well Sky Sport presenter just twetted that Cav will announce he's leaving Sky soon along someone else ( Eisel obviosuly ) but maybe someone else too.
Just iamgine the Tour team with no Cav and Eisel, instead Henao and Uran in
So far TeamSkyFans have this list for Sky :
In
Confirmed:
None
Rumoured
????? ???? (Australian non pro rider)
Renshaw (Rabobank)
Voigt (Radioshack)
Tiernan Locke (Endura)
Moreno Moser (Liquigas)
Staigaire 2012
Davide Martinelli
Out
Confirmed:
Lars Peter Nordhaug >Rabobank
David Appollonio > Ag2R
Rumoured
Cavendish (Rabobank, Quickstep)
Barry (Spider Tech)
Flecha (Vaconsoliel) see notes
Hayman (Greenedge) see notes
Knees (New German Team) see notes
Spoiler Moreno Moser being linked to sky, again, he has a year on his contract.
Both Flecha and Hayman are being rumoured to Vaconsoliel and Greenedge respectively. Both signed new 2 year contracts in 2011 and will only leave if released or bought out of their contracts. Christian Knees also being linked with a move to a new German team despite having a year remaining on his contract.
Michael Barry is lined with a return to Canada with pro continental team Spider Tech
Sky are believed to be signing a young Australian star on a pre contract with a view to him riding for a European feeder team for 2013 to gain experience. With Appollonio leaving its expected that he may move straight to the full team.
David Appollonio has signed for Ag2r
Lars Peter Nordhaug will move to Rabobank for 2013
Mark Cavendish is rumoured to have been allowed to talk to other teams should he so wish, options include Rabobank and Omega Quickstep.
Mark Renshaw is rumoured to be allowed to join Team Sky if they buy out his contract (If Cavendish stays)
Jenms Voigt has been reported to have had offers from three teams, Saxo Tinkoff, Sky and current team Radioshack
5 riders without contracts yet :
Jeremy Hunt
Alex Dowsett - Expect to renew
Thomas Lofkvist
Micheal Rogers
Michael Barry - possibly leaving
Xabier Zandio????

Quite logically yes. However Cav leaving is not 100% yet If he will stay - Renshaw will likely join Sky ( and that's why he's 'rumoured' so far )

Could be. Quite god guess. Although I've no idea, so far Sky have been quite quiet with their transfers. All are speculations from twitter so far i.e. Brajkovic, Cataldo - wchich mostly end up wrong.

Cavendish (Rabobank, Quickstep)
What is this based on? Or the rumors appeared only because Renshaw is there...

Not sure, iirc last year Rabobank was intrested in signing Cav in small way I believe. Could be same this year, tbh I could see it happen, however the move to OPQS looks most likely with so many staff and riders from old HTC already there.

Rabobank need a top sprinter, Renshaw's results were quite dissapointing.

Also, in Rabobank he might find the same situation from Sky. This year Renshaw had 0 support from the team in the sprints.

A few days ago Janez Brajkovic confirmed for the newspaper Delo he is staying in Astana for one more season - considering he has one year left on the contract. Even though he has been looking at Sky and a possible move to there, it seems like that will have to wait for another year or so.

Too young and I suspect he will want to stay int the track until the next Olympics, where he will be 21 and then can make up his mind about road after that.
Someone like Giacoppo maybe? He has a few wins under his belt and is part of the talent factory that is Genesys. That or they will poach someone from GreenEDGE.

With 26, "young" hardly applies if based purely on age

I just couldn't think of anyone else on the domestic scene who seems really ready for it. Haas and Von Hoff were the two obvious choices last year and both now are racing overseas.

Yes I mentioned this earlier. I think the only other place he would go is Radioshack if it's overhauled out of Leopard.
