Missing a thread like this is a little embarrassing.

On a ride on the weekend i met someone random and started talking about my bike, next thing he mentioned "the rider that have not seen this thread yet" bike is for sale!

You think he started looking for a Cannondale yet?

With DD currently lying last in the rankings I think they are struggling a bit to keep the WT license for next year the way in understood the rules. They need some GC points , was hoping L Morton would deliver but it did not happen and Kudus also never delivering when needed.

 

Hope they somehow stay World tour and Meintjies can add some GC points for them.

I never quite understood the 'points' system. The team qualifies on past performance with their riders - not on past performance of future riders. Was proven to be a joke with Purito signing on for another year to secure WT points, then when the shebang is dropped he retires again and goes mtbing instead. Surely they won't keep it like that.

Ok, That sounds better, hopefully you are right as they not looking to move from last position this year and will need some GC contender next year that at least get into top 10-15 in Grand Tours.

That's a good move. Unfortunately sprinters aren't ever going the thrive @ Sky and EV has alot of skills. Hope he take the next step up at the new team.

No! Must be for a lot of dough.

Ja a KATUSHA move seems odd... but then again so did Sagan to Bora (well to some in any case)

Quickstep still has Gaviria so they won't counter a huge offer imo.

Gaviria also a more versatile than Kittel
