Transfers and rumours

[No Ta Doctor]

Cecilie Uttrup to Uno-X. Not sure if this was open knowledge earlier, but doesn't seem surprising in any way

the general consensus was that NCI would start announcing official signings after Lombardia so I'd expect a few other announcements in the next week or two as well.

Oscar Rodriguez renewal incoming apparently.

Giulio Ciccone to Pinarello Q36.5

Hope Pidders doesn't mind sharing his pond with another big fish

Given his lack of help at the World Championships this year when Tom needed it most (was he scared of losing a sprint finish to him?), and his winging for European Championship rather than blaming his failure to execute a bike throw, not convinced this will be a fruitful partnership?

Ciccone has always struck me as a bit of a Carapaz type rider. Not someone you'd stick in a mountain train.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Well, as the two leading complainers-about-photo-finishes-against-Belgian-opponents in the peloton, Pidcock and Ciccone could join forces as a formidable whinging duo.

Is she excited about the change?

Is she excited about the change?

I doubt it. Inscrutible is a word I would use to describe her.

“I am incredibly excited to put on the Uno-X jersey. In a way, it feels like coming home to my Scandinavian roots,” Ludwig says.

She's a proper ray of positivity, loved the cafe ride she did with Stephens.

I think some people find the extreme effervescence a little over the top, but on the other hand, they probably didn't see or understand Danish TV2's post World's interview (she was caught up in a crash and then waited for ages for a new bike) where most of it wouldn't get past the censor on this site (I copped a ban a little while back for bad language, so I'm not posting it here!). I think she probably is pretty much "what you see is what you get, no filters". My favourite remark of hers was that women weren't allowed to race up mountains because the UCI "were afraid our uteruses would fall out"

I’m firmly in that camp. I think she plays up to it after the reaction when she first came on the scene. I’m also deeply suspicious of overly cheerful ‘bubbly’ people (even more so if they describe themselves as bubbly!). But then I’m a grumpy old git and proud of it.

I’d not heard any rumours!

Also Brodie Chapman to Greenedge! This is especially brilliant because they chose to recruit her pregnant! This is groundbreaking stuff!
