That would be awesome!

 

Hope the rumours about Katusha are not true and their sponsors.

 

I see Devin Short is at Caja Rougal  *spelling 

 

Love seeing Saffas getting overseas! 

 

 

Yes I'm pulling hard for it, rider deserves it but its not as easy as that but he will have Stagaire gig 1 August onwards as a job interview.

Some done deals and some almost done/strong links:

 

TomD to Jumbo

Elissonde to Trek

Cataldo to Movistar

Masnada and Hirt to CCC

Van Gestel to Direct Energie

Gilbert to Lotto

Barnabas to Michellton-Scott 

Richez to UAE

 

Wow, that JUMBO TTT is going to be crazy!!!

Assuming nobody leaves, this team can truly give Ineos a run for their money.

 

TomD+PrimozR+Kruiswijk+Tony Martin+WvA+George Bennet

 

Sho!

Teams already giving Ineos a run for the money - Classics - they been run over.

 

Tours - They not nearly as dominant in 2019 compared to previous.

 

If you look at them in detail this year, they not the same.

I tend to agree. The TTT didn't really reveal any chinks in the armour but they are not looking as comfortable at the head of the train during the finish run ins as they did the previous two years. 

I wonder if they will be looking to sign any additional younger potential GC contenders riders for 2020 just to cover the possibility of a Froome come back not working out as planned.

Im sure they are, they also have Bernal to a long term deal but he can't race every GT each year.

There are alot more other teams other than DD out there and I wouldn't read to much into that tweet. This time of the year okes are quick on the trigger.
