Didn't he do well in the Giro this year? Don't know if he would be leading the team, but it would be good to see Sky with a pink jersey

Wouldn't be surprised if it was part of his terms being #1 for the Giro.

I think Poels wants first dibs at the Giro

I remember reading something along these lines also, and if Rosa is leaving because he didn't want to play second fiddle to Aru, then this will surely bite hard.

Rosa's record in the Giro:
2016 - Did not race
2015 - 23rd
2014 - DNF
2013 - 24th

Goodbye to IAM Cycling, it's their final event this weekend at Paris-Tours.

Perhaps he got his Lotto's mixed up and just signed without realising.
Maybe lead-out for Greipel pays better?

A sort of transfer. Alpecin are off to Katusha.

What's happened to Tony Martin? Neither Etixx nor Bora seem to have him on the book?

I didn't know that was happening, I thought Sunweb were switching spaces on the Giant jersey
