Transfers and rumours

[No Ta Doctor]

Their strategy in the last 4 or 5 years has felt weird but the focus seems to have been on youngsters with potential. I don't really see where Godon fits in but then don't really know much about him. Maybe they looked at his Wiki page that appears to show he won all 3 GTs every year from 2019 to 2023.

Blimey, it really does

But aren't Ineos just collecting Big Boys at this point? He's 1.89 m (6 ft 2 in). With Tarling, Ganna, Arensman, Øxenberg, Turner, De Plus, Swift and Shmidt all well over 6 foot.

Maybe they've hired the ex-Southampton scout that got them to sign Ali Dia.

They're concentrating on improving their lineout.

That is left field. I'd wondered if EF would offer him another contract

Not a rumour, but a fact. Ceratizit are ceasing operation at the end of the season.

Don't think this is elsewhere on CC. If it is, sorry

Apparently the managing director of Ceratizit the cutting tools company was browsing a cycle forum reading a thread on dodgy sponsors, and realised nobody knew what his company actually did, so he pulled out.
