Team Transfers and Rumours

[Frosty]

I wonder if they (TQA) are too analytical and not basing their training on feel? Power numbers look good on paper, but different when out in practice.

Cav’s current coach (at DQS) said he was being coached “wrong” previously.

It’s clear there’s a coaching problem. But Doug is team principal and if he’s blind to it then they’re basically f….up the creek without a paddle

Something wrong with Ryder's setup.

 

Maincheese back to his old self after leaving.

Cav beter than ever since he left

Sbaragli, Mader,  and more, the list is a long one of people leaving and getting so much better.

And sadly guys like Aru end up going nowhere.

 

Geraint is a better rider than Qhubeka-NoMoney know what to do with.

I personally think Victor Campenaert is really a strong rider but would perform so much better at a different team

[Frosty]

The bit where they show Ben King’s data, Doug talks about being able to recruit based on data. This is what I was referring to as data over feel.

 

[DieselnDust]

they recruit at  high numbers then lower the numbers

Nice to see African riders moving on up.

The Eritrean climber, now 27, believes he has potential still to be tapped, and is convinced Jonathan Vaughters' American squad is the place to do it.

The mountain biker on Orbea currently?

Strange move, not many successful with  these moves, Cink as an example.

Understand the money is better even being dom to top 10 on xco level.

I don't know if Cav is the best example of this, but they're definitely doing something wrong. They have bought in some really promising riders as well as people with results and never really delivered consistently. The only guy who has done well over a period of time is Nizzolo recently.

Just 2 africans on the team this year, and I guess there's a chance we will start hearing the annual stories about team viability for 2022 going up in the air again.

According to this there are only 6 riders signed for next season currently.

Super interesting to scroll down and see how the composition of the team has shifted.

Is nobody going to be first to start a new 2022 Thread or are we just continuing here? 

Anyway just saw the Astana Instagram post where they said goodbye to no less than 15 riders of their squad, amongst them some big names albeit a few old dawgs. 15!?!?!? that is half the squad of some teams.

Alpecin Fenix to have Deceuninck as a sponsor and seems to have ended their sponsorship of Quick-Step....

I wonder who dropped who here, can't imagine a brand would not want to be associated with a World Champ for another year or Deceunick was forced because of their controversial team boss Patrick
