Team Transfers and Rumours 20/21

[J Wakefield]

AG2R pick up Harry Tanfield which is a left field choice for him and interesting from them as well. Good to see he managed to keep on a WT team after Katusha folding / merging / what is happening there with ICA??

 

ICA are WT now 

 

Very surprised on Tanfield, must has a really good agent. I remember at Valencia listening to him tell his DS how **** everything is after the TT which didn't look like the DS was listening. 

 

Had a lot fo DNF's this year and a OTL and 2018 was similar.

How right you are about having a good agent. It’s a known fact the agents or promoters can make or break a sportsman.

A sportsman’s life at the professional level is limited.

Is it correct that Daryl Impey's contract ends this season ??

Has he signed with MS for next year ?

I was listening to the Cycling Podcast from 21/11, where they spoke to Matt White. He said they have only made one change for 2020, so with Trentin moving on, and Hayman retiring that's two changes.

 

For the time being, I don't believe PCS about Daryl - unless they know something we all don't and their "Goes to ?" is pending confirmation.

Dowsett to ICA https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/alex-dowsett-signs-israel-cycling-academy-442962/amp

Funny

Bennett finally signs with Quickstep and takes Shane Archibold with him.

Oh and ICA have signed their 8th sprinter with american Travis McCabe heading to the Israel outfit. Let's see how that pans out next year! 

[LONE TWO]

And its confirmed. Dennis to Ineos

That should be a great match. Excited to see what they can get out of him as the TT specialist and also in stage races. 

 

How many people didn't believe him when he said "push the team's I'm in... with out going too crazy."

[SwissVan]

And its confirmed. Dennis to Ineos

Total domination coming

 

Even though Ineosborgs does not have the same ring to it as Skyborgs

 

Mooi man

[Long Wheel Base]

Does that mean Ineos will now ride BMC?

[lechatnoir]

And its confirmed. Dennis to Ineos

 

 

looking forward to the Dave 'n Dennis show... gonna be peachy!

[T-Bob]

I saw that Abby-Mae Parkinson has been signed up by Lotto Soudal Ladies. Great move for her and hopefully she can keep building on the last few years at Drops.

 

Ex TDD cast offs Scott Thwates and Kristian Sbaragil are set to reunite at the bolstered Corendon-Circus. Guess we'll be seeing alot more of MvdP on the tarmac in 2020.

I think 2020 will be more about Dennis and not about Dave as his main focus will be to win gold in the Olympics and Worlds for Australia (and himself).  Dave will make sure he gets everything he needs in terms of equipment and science ( except the BMC).  

 

In return he might give Ineos one or 2 time trial victories in the Giro 2020 but the real payback will probably only be in 2021 where he will have to use his massive engine to pull Bernal etc through the fields of France and Italy.
