Yeah there's no was Kittel stays with a team that isn't going to go ahead and try to get that license, be interesting who they will find for the extra 5-7 places, there'll be plenty of available riders you'd think.

New German team with the Schlecks.. Interesting, good to see new sponsors entering the sports, and happy to see the demise of Radioshack. Now which riders will go with the Schlecks? Gerdemann probably, perhaps Voight if he wants another year (unlikely though), Klöden seems unlikely to ride for a German team, but who knows.

Interesting times for the transfer market

Is that including next year's new team (if it happens)?

Because, technically, they were with the CSC team (albeit under different names) for 6 years, and then Becca's team for the last two years. A new team would only be a third different set-up for them.

The Rohan Dennis to sky rumours have finally surfaced.

This is one I had to keep quiete on, shared with ACF and a couple of others. As far as I know a pre-contract was agreed in January, Shane Sutton had a lot of influence on this, although the original plan was for him to join a French domestic squad for 12-18 months before stepping up to the first squad for 2014.

Not sure if this has changed or no. Possible staigaire for the end of the year.

Ignore. I got two austrlians muddled up

It's an interesting one and makes sense if he wishes to balance road and track aspirations (Sky supportive of both disciplines unlike other teams). Curious though as to how it all came about. I guess logically I'd have expected GreenEdge to try to snap up the Australian talent.

Two more years for Stef Clement at Rabobank.

My understanding is Sky were in contact very early through Shane Sutton, like early early (possibly the manchest world cup). Well before Greenedge. They certainly spoke late last year, Rohan's first choice was always Sky, I think CJ did some work as well trying to tell him how he would fit in, how sky develop young talent whereas at greenedge he would just be another sprinter in a team loaded with sprinters. Gary Sutton as well has an input remember.

Ignore this entirely, i am getting two young australians muddled up

Interesting as i saw the rumour and came to post here and then saw a couple of people saying it was definitely not true so deleted it again as thought i was being premature. Seems to have gone quiet again since then.

I cant remember who came out with it, think it was cycling weekly or someone a few days ago.

As I say, I knew in january but personally i would be surprised if he was with sky next year. the orginal plan of putting him on a european team for a year to me makes perfect sense. Sky have had pre-agreements with a few young riders on feeder teams, some have signed, some havnt. (Rowe v Fenn for instance)

Dan Benson had it on twitter but then saw nothing else

i got confused, all these young aussies, all the same to me :-[

Drapac wouldn't be the worst place for Dennis.

You can't tell us which young aussie you had him confused with?

Tuart · « **Reply #168 on:** July 04, 2012, 12:59 »

Of course not.

Of course not.

I cant sadly, but I did share it with a couple of people in January, it was one of those people that reminded me that I had the two muddled up. Basically the story is the same though, just change the name. Not that hard to work out.

CVV to go around 1 more year - probably with Garmin

BYOP · « **Reply #172 on:** July 08, 2012, 20:48 »

Cool, CVV is a guy I like, although I guess this means this 6 month ban thing is (possibly) rubbish.

Argos re-signs a number of riders.

Is there anyone left in the peloton that is not rumored to go to Astana?
