Stall_Gear Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 For those that seem to have missed it, Specialized seem to have signed World Champ Sarrou! So obviously blew their budget on him... RossW and Duane_Bosch 2

DieselnDust Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Maxime Marotte to SantaCruz FSA, joining Luca Braidot, Martina Berta and Greta Seiwald. This is a big signing for Santa Cruz bikes, Looks like the XCO field is going to have very strong brand representation at the front, not just the usual lofty RossW and splat 2
RossW Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Sarrou leaving perhaps opens the purse string for PFP Absolute Absalon. Who did Braidot ride for? I can’t remember and feeling too lazy to Google it.

Danger Dassie Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Sarrou leaving perhaps opens the purse string for PFP Absolute Absalon. Who did Braidot ride for? I can’t remember and feeling too lazy to Google it.He and his brother were racing for the Carabinieri, Italian police. In return they performed policing duties, albeit to a relaxed schedule. Not that uncommon a practice, in a few European countries. https://business.facebook.com/TheBraidotTwins/ Edited January 4, 2021 by Danger Dassie RossW and Sydd 2

WR 1.0 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Hirshi leaves DSM. Free agent (but for how long?) Any guesses as to which team he's heading to? Must be one with some cash to possibly buy him out seeing as he still had this year left with DSM.

Long Wheel Base Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 UAEConfirmed?Going to be lekker seeing Colnago win more races. Any idea why he just left DSM? Must have been some issues to just up and off like that.
Gen Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Confirmed?Going to be lekker seeing Colnago win more races. Any idea why he just left DSM? Must have been some issues to just up and off like that.Nope not confirmed just rumoured I suspect he was probably approached by a team offering him a good pay check and his contract was probably bought out by a team with deep pockets and a lot of ambition. I dont always know about DSM their riders don't always seem to stick a round too long. All of course speculation at this point. Long Wheel Base 1
stringbean Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 I suspect DSM just follow a tight budget with NO exceptions.

Must have been some issues to just up and off like that.“Team DSM has reached a settlement agreement with their rider Marc Hirschi to terminate their present employment before the original end date of 31 December 2021. It has been agreed that the agreement will be terminated with immediate effect and that no further comments will be made. Team DSM wishes Marc Hirschi all the best for the continuation of his career and expresses its gratitude for what Marc Hirschi has contributed to the team.” Team DSM’s statement on Marc Hirschi’s departure Long Wheel Base 1

All of course speculation at this point.Unfortunately nobody participating in this thread has UAE connections that can slip us a hint...it's not like we will tell who our sources are Looking at the history of this Team, if their riders gets an opportunity to grow & move on to a bigger team with bigger pockets then they wont stand in their way, Tom Dumoulin, Warren Barguil, Marcel Kittel, Simon Geschke & now Hirschi to name but a few.
