Team Transfers and Rumours 20/21

[Spoke101]

Every time I see Pinarello and think Chinarello , so it's a no for me from a sales point of view

 

Also a big NO for me but If you look at there sales figures before 2012 and after.

[Spoke101]

That white BMC in the breakaway the other day was quite the thing. It had plenty kiffness

 

It just looked a little out of proportion but then again Michael Schär is 198cm

[Cav']

Lots of rumors floating about since it's Aug 1st.

 

Landa trying to go back to Astana

Stefan Küng seems to be heading to Groupama/FDJ

Soler to Sky apparently 

André Greipel to Fortuneo-Samsic

Cavendish to Aqua Blue

Downgrade? Aren't they a Continental team?

 

Cavendish to Aqua Blue - at least their bikes look better   

[JJ]

Cav to Aqua Blue? Interesting... Will Mark Renshaw follow? Can imagine him and Blythe in the same team

At this point in time its all just rumors, but you never know.

Aqua Blue didn't even get an invite to any of the Grand Tours so not too sure if that is going to help Cav' in his pursuit of Merckx record. 

[Andymann]

Also not so sure he's going to quite like the idea of a 1x Drivetrain they were racing with.

To be fair to Aqua Blue, actually being at the Tour didn't help his pursuit of the record either. . .

With Ewan off to Lotto Soudal, there's little space for an aging Greipel. Greipel's such a nice guy and deserves his space in the peleton. I hope he comes right.

 

Cavendish to Aqua Blue may help them get some wildcard joy into a GT here or there - they also deserve a shot at something

3T have a 2x11 frame now...

Think they were at the Vuelta last year and maybe will be again this year.  Perhaps if Cav does go there they will be looking for a tour spot next year?

Whoah ????

Quite a few very surprising scenarios there

Didn't something happen to their bus last year at the Vuelta?

[lechatnoir]

yes, IIRC, it was a vagrant with known mental issues set it alight. They said the rest of the tour was done in a 'backup' vehicle which wasn't so great.

[Long Wheel Base]

Also not so sure he's going to quite like the idea of a 1x Drivetrain they were racing with.

That bike is a thing of beauty.
