Transfers and rumours

[No Ta Doctor]

He won't be getting much help if he goes to ride the GTs though will he?

I wouldn't have thought they were going to send him to any tbh. He's unlikely to be on high wages now, given he hasn't won a race for over two years and it's closer to three and a half since he won a WT race. He can fill some gaps, maybe share some experience and add a touch more Netherlands to the team

Joseph Blackmore to Ineos according to Daniel Benson.
Strange timing considering his injury hit year?

I was only thinking about him the other day. When thinking about former Avenir winners

Picnic saving 6 months worth of (expensive) wages

Just to rub it in Accell just filed for bankruptcy. They own La Pierre which supplies bikes to... PicnicPostNL. Not getting good vibes for the team survival. Be interesting where Matt Winston ends up if they do fold

Is it true you've been transferred to the rest of Pro-Race from PTP?

Buitrago to Not Sponsoring Netenyahu for '27.

Am surprised how young he is (26), seems to have been round for ages.

Have we had Richard Carapaz to leave EF rumours? Not on this page but I'm so slow on the uptake it was probably 3 pages ago.

Caveat, rumour originates from Bruyneel who, obviously, is a baddie. Boo hiss.

Can't think of many teams in need of a former GC contender in need of a final payoff to wind down their career, although I think Tudor may have just lost one.

2 stage wins and KOM at the Tour a few weeks ago can't come cheap. I'm sure Vaughters will be whining about it soon enough.
