Right, let's see if he can put up or shut up in the 2020 season then. He'll be the main GC guy there by the looks of it so all the posturing about co leaders, riding for me and the rest should be laid to rest. Will be interesting to see if he drops the 'loose a ton of time and then fight valiantly back' approach that he's been running with recently

Not so sure, they will be getting some new guys in, he's taken Saba' and they have the understanding of what's needed for a sprinter from the failed boo-boo experiment. Viv' is also pretty good at surfing wheels when he has to but he may need a bit of a season back on the track to share those skills over the winter. I'm guessing Cofidis also allowed him to focus on the Olympics again.

Nice to see DQS have extended Jamies Knox contract to 2021 and also in UK rider news Movistar have picked up only their 3rd British rider signing Gabe Cullaigh from Team Wiggins giving them an up and coming sprinter to develop.

[Gen]

Fromolo to UAE, sad to see him leave Bora but understandable as they are really focussing on their German and Austrian riders of which their are many talented really good riders

 

Wish him all the best.

Man that is looking a hell of a strong squad for the next few seasons. Only issue they might face is the old conundrum of too many captains for the Grand tours going around.

I reckon that they're actually quite clear on who the leader is and who is supposed to support him. Jumbo has been clear that Roglic will be the leader at this year's Vuelta so I expect that when Tom joins next season that they will continue to do so when they announce their GT squads. Makes it easier on everyone.
