Transfers and rumours

[wakemalcolm]

Brailsford always said it was his dream to win the Tour with a French rider.

How many ways can INEOS find to p*ss Vauquelin off in 1 year?

 

[wakemalcolm]

Agreed , but I mean that I think that he'll want to do the TdF, and if he does he won't want to play second fiddle to Seixas, if the transfer was to happen.

Oh yes, he'll pick up his ball and move next door if that happens.

There's a rumour going around that Q36.5 are offering Seixas EUR13m a year to join them next year. As Lizzie Deignan quipped, Decathlon will have to sell a lot of tents to match that.

Can't see that, Pidders would throw his toys out of the pram if he's not the team's big fish

After seeing CX Tom and MTB Tom and to some extent Classics Tom, there's surely a realisation that TdeF Tom is an iteration too far.

SuperdomTom?

If it's good enough for Wout...

Ben O'Connor off to join the Seixas party at Decathlon for next year. Could work for him if he's a superdom in July in return for getting some protection in May or September?

I could have sworn he'd only just left them.
Also pre-supposes tgat SexyAss hasn't buggered off elsewhere?

Has O'Conner ever been used as a domestique? Most of the time he seems to be a mountain breakaway hunter.

Belgian flooring replaced by Belgian PPE company. Same salt of the earth Belgian vibes and not a weird brand-media-management or cryptocurrency outfit or rogue state.

Feels like Quick Step have been in the sport forever, it will be a shame if they aren't sponsoring anyone going forward.
