Looking at PCS and the starting line-ups for riders that are supposed to have been signed for 2017, from the 18 (at the moment) WT teams, only 376 riders have been listed - an average of only 21 per team. Obviously other deals will have been done that have yet to be announced, but that still leaves a lot of riders yet to extend or looking for new teams. The Eneco Tour will be a good chance to impress.

Looking at the British riders that seemingly haven't secured a contract for 2017 (according to FirstCycling website) I have listed:
Fenn and Kennaugh - Team Sky
Blythe - Tinkoff
Thwaites - Bora Hansgrohe
McNally - Wanty-Groupe Gobert
McLay - Fortuneo-Vital Concept
Shaw - Lotto Soudal
Dibben - Cannondale Drapac
Handley, House, Opie and P Williams - One Pro Cycling
Does anyone have any more info?

These things generally start to become clear after the Worlds, which is when the current season really starts to enter its wind-down phase.

I'd really be surprised if Blythe did't end up with a team, as Smutch said, it'll all get cleared up after the Worlds.... where Cav will reclaim the rainbow bands then be riding for a team which is relegated to Pro-Conti.

Not sure if it warrants talking about, but SKY will now be wearing Castelli. I was hoping for assos, and seeing how assos release a 'fans cut' of their clothing

Totally not surprised. Yer average Sky fanboy will already have a wardrobe full of Castelli anyway.

I was hoping it would be another British brand - Endura would have been a good match, though they probably have some exclusivity deal with Movistar.

Glad it's not Assos! Not that I will be buying the kit in any case.
