Definitive Transfer thread...

I know most of the business has been done winter but it would be handy to have a sticky in this forum with all the main transfers...

Any chance?

Here is my contribution...

Millar/Danielson/Backstedt/Zabriske - Slipstream
Wiggins - T-Mobile
Di Luca/Savoldelli - LPR
Simoni - Selle Italia

You'll be telling me his knee will never recover from his tackle on Gary Charles in the cup final next.

Is he now an alcoholic who has been in court regularly for drink related offences and served time?

[I mean Charles- I know Gascoigne is an alcoholic]

McGee is still only 31, which seems amazing, but true. If he's over his injuries, then any team would be idiotic to turn him down. He's a great rider, but also good PR. One of the few names people can be genuinely confident of when asked to name a clean rider.

Rock Racing are a new American team sponsored by a fashion company. They have a bad rep already because the owner said he ain't paying people to come 2nd or 3rd... he wants results or the riders are out. No pressure, then.
