DieselnDust Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) I also suspect DSM might be short on budget so releasing a rider from his contract for a transfer fee isn't a bad way to raise the cash. Wondering if Cervelo bikes might not have had a hand to play? Will we see him dressed as a bee? Edited January 7, 2021 by DieselnDust
milky4130 Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I also suspect DSM might be short on budget so releasing a rider from his contract for a transfer fee isn't a bad way to raise the cash. Wondering if Cervelo bikes might not have had a hand to play? Will we see him dressed as a bee?I just read somewhere now that it was strictly money. His salary was still that of a Neo-Pro Minimum Wage i.e. $36 000 for the stellar season he had in 2020 & he is the former u23 World Champ. They were not willing to re-negotiate his existing salary. His reported per annum salary from the new team will go from +-$100 000 to +-2 mil. DieselnDust 1
TNT1 Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Marc Hirschi is coming out for UAE Emirates this cycling season. This Wieler Flash understood from sources close to the team. The first contacts have been made through the Swiss connection with team manager Mauro Gianetti. In recent weeks, a transition from Team DSM has become negotiable and UAE Emirates has acted very quickly. Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar's team had hardly attracted any reinforcements for 2021 so far. Only Rafal Majka and Matteo Trentin are new big names. Financially, the team from the United Arab Emirates is in a strong position. Hirschi's salary requirements were therefore no problem. The connection between the three Swiss Marc Hirschi, his agent Fabian Cancellara and UAE Emirates team boss Mauro Gianetti played an important role in the negotiations. https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/marc-hirschi-kiest-voor-uae-emirates/ babse, Long Wheel Base and Wayne pudding Mol 3

Danger Dassie Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Formidable lineup .... clear cut XCO and Epic goals. https://fb.watch/2U9eagJqwy/ "2020 proved to be a memorable season for the riders of Cannondale Factory Racing – including the two new faces on the squad. World #1 Henrique Avanciniand veteran teammate Manuel Fumic are joined by former junior XC and CX World Champion Simon Andreassen of Denmark and former U23 and ebike World Champion Alan Hatherly Athlete of South Africa. Both riders achieved breakout results last season with Simon winning his first Elite XCO World Cup and Alan landing his first Elite XCO World Cup podium. After two weeks together for a small team camp, the groundwork has been laid, the normal CFR shenanigans had, and the bonds forged for 2021. Bring on the races."
