    Tuttobiciweb reporting that Mollema to Trek means Andy doesn't have a contract for next year.

    Got to be worth a punt on a one year contract for someone - if he proves himself he is back in the big money the year after - if he doesn't at least the team get the exposure every time the cameras focus on him dropping off the back.

    New info? There was a fake account (@Team_Bora) that put this news out and some journos published. Team Netapp put out this statement:
    @NetAppEndura
    We don't confirm the rumour on the contract of @LeopoldKonig - time to say that @Team_Bora is not an official account. #WaitForFacts

    Kong's a good climber for a big lad.

    Ah good. I thought it was somewhat odd given what he had said before.

    I should have said it was a rumour not official.

    A good question must be 'why?'.

    Presumably Fränk negotiating with them too?

    Tom van Asbroeck to Cannondale? Seems a strange choice for a team for him...

    What do people think of Rolland? Another rider who could potentially go to a bigger team. Does pretty well considering he is in a small team with little support.

    .

    He is one of the most independent riders in the peloton. If Voekler coughs Gautier is up the road. Rolland just cooly does his own thing

    4th Giro and 11th Tour is very impressive. He needs to use a bit of strategy though. He would be good at Lotto with Gallopin and Van d B I reckon

    Wondering what's going to happen with the team as the Garmin/Cannondale deal is pretty much done. Perhaps Bardiani will step up.

    Ha interesting. They are welcome to him - there are better rideers out there for much less.

    EBH is surprising.

    1 Aug tomorrow so things can be made official.

    Sagan's much more expensive price tag is because he is multi times better. Talking about people like Roche - think he is definitely not that good for what he is commanding.

    Fair point. I thought he might have progressed abit more after a promising Vuelta last year.

    Cofidis

    Nous sommes fiers de vous annoncer la signature pour 2 ans de @BouhanniNacer ! Il sera accompagné par @chainelsteve @SoupeG Dominique Rollin

    Rollin back in contract after being out in the cold for 2014 - pretty solid rider and Soupe top wind blocker

    Nice load of signings there for Cofidis - will be interesting to see the red jersies in the mix for once. Chainel is an attacking rider.
