Transfers and rumours

[Cathryn]

More mildly distressing news. * Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig and maybe Kasia Niewiadoma to SD Worx. I genuinely don't know what to do if my fave rider goes to my least fave team.

* Clearly this is not distressing, given all the other news in the world. But you know what I mean.

Do you think he's got a master plan, Adam? I'm not convinced!

I'm starting to think he doesn't give a feck now he's got United ! There's far more going out of the cycling than coming in it seems ?

I heard an unsubstantiated rumour that Marcus Rashford is being trained up as the next GT leader.
You heard it here first..

Not of a shake up at Lotto.

Was reading an article on this....😲
"But the Tour is anything but assured, and according to France's L'Equipe Zingle will be pulled out from the Tour unless he wins the national championships in France. Naturally, with the country's colours on his chest and great form, Zingle would be an obvious choice for Cofidis and perhaps even their best chance of taking success. But if he does not win, it seems like he will be left at home in July as a consequence for not staying in the team"

It's happened like that before. Dunno why they don't delay the announcement till after the Tour

Must be a tricky one for the management. Potentially piss off your sponsors by not picking a rider who could feature, or piss off some of your riders by picking someone who is buggering off ahead of them.

I meant that I wonder why they tell the previous management prior to August 1st , but that may be naive of me. Is it possible to keep those sort of secrets these days!
