Sky has let some big names leave, but i can't understand why Cannondale let Fromolo leave. They pumped the lightie up so much during the Giro that i thought he was going to be their long term plan for GT accolades.

Two things

Cannondale Drapac has a teeny budget relative to other teams

Riders' agents has a big role in influencing an athlete's move

I like Martin, but again a strange move to make.

He was the last big transfer I was waiting for.

Now that is a great signing. Team DD sign Tom Slagter from cannondale. He is one of those serious talents who seem to have gone dull. Luke a Cummings I'm hoping that this can let him get back to the great riding he was doing a few years back.

I saw the news flash that read - Slagter to join Dimension Data, only problem is it was at 04:00 this morning and the coffee had not kicked in yet and in my befuddled state read it as:

 

Sagan to join Dimension Data - that woke me up - I was pumped for a couple of seconds till I reread the headlines

 

No offence to Slagter who will be a good addition to the team.

Will be interesting to see to whom Sep Vanmarcke transfers as it looks like he's over Cannondale.

 

 

My bet is on Sky or Lotto Soudal

And slightly off topic. Movistar are starting a Ladies Team..this is great news..

Any news yet on Cannondale`s future after the major sponsor loss?

No nothing yet, I think the trouble started long before the Tour. I remember at one point Cannondale wanted to withdraw after their 2 year drought (ito wins.)

Damn right. Now let's see Sky get their thumb out of their 'hub' and deliver on that promise as well. Jeez, I wonder if they couldn't have funded one with what they spent on that oversized mobile clubhouse that they are now driving around europe.
