L'Equipe reporting Viviani and Sabitini to Cofidis for 2020

Sam Bennett to Quickstep as a replacement

 

Hard one to believe, but the French teams are pushing for World Tour next year and Cofidis have those Bouhanni $ to spend next year

Like for like but cheaper.

Think Viv' is going to be cheaper than Boo-Boo? When did Viviani resign for DQS? I know Cofidis shelled out a fair amount on the long contract with Cofidis that someone was regretting after the first 6 months!

No no.. I was referring to DQ replacing Viviani with Sammy B.

 

I could not care less about Bouhani, hope he leaves cycling.

For a while I thought that Boo Boo had retired based on the media silence. Like you I can't stand the guy much, too self entitled for my liking.

Still wondering where the "dream" in the Scott dream team comes from.......

 

Sure Nino makes any team a dream team. The only other rider worth mentioning in their team is Kate.

'spose this question can be answered with a piksha

Nairo Quintana, Dayer Quintana, Ruben Fernandez and Winner Anacona to Arkea-Samsic for 2020 

 

Also Bouhanni rumoured to Arkea-Samsic

 

They seems to be stepping up a lot in the game for next year. I wonder how Barguil will feel about that amount of climbing fire power coming on board. Wonder what NQ would think about another attempt at a 'co-leader'. For sure they would target different races most of the time but a very french team with a french GC rider and NQ wanting a Tour victory would need some managing.

 

 That will be big culture change for the french team, I think it their roster of 22 odd they only have 1 brit and 2 germans (though Griepel is easily 2 non gorilla sizes humans rolled into 1).

Barguil goals are different to Nairo, Nairo is GC based, Barguil isn't.

 

He enjoys the freedom of hunting KoM jersey or stages. However that has been few and far between as of late.

Hopefully that will stop the clamour for him to be a GC / Tour winner and drop that expectation.
