Decent team. Glad Ted King's moved across.

Wonder what happens to Cameron Wurf...

Danielson and Ryder hold the natural progression back IMO ... With Millar's departure and 'dale coming on board it was time to move on from the 'doping' marketing concept and use the merger to show what a trully American team could do and attract solid sponsorship from that basis ... TD is an especially bad decision, at least Ryder is a 'rider' ...

Every time Dan Martin wins Hesjedal is very visible in the last 10km. He's still important to them.

Lol at Stephen Roche saying his son 'wanted to get a lot from working with Bjarne Riis', a poor choice of phrase and not something I would admit publicly these days!

Hence the Ryder/rider statement.

The dude can ride/read/rule a bike race, no question ... Whether a self-confessed doper should have been allowed to (unsanctioned) is another question.

edit: my signature sums it up really ...

Ha well its a matter of interpretation. Riis is undoubtedly the best DS in the business.

Hesjedal is a huge asset to Garmin both as a winner and placer but also as a selfless teammate where necessary. Really impressed me this year.

Also, according to Millar, quite a kind guy. He's in to juicing (Not that type of juicing conspiracy theorists...) And used to make juices for him after the race. Sounds like a nice guy and his riding has been quite entertaining this year. Almost enough to forgive those daft sunglasses.

Chris Horner did find a team for 2015 but it's not one of the 4 Italian PCT's. http://m.spaziociclismo.it/esclusive/ci ... rner-42618 …

Samu doesn't have an offer from BMC yet which is odd. Anyone heard any other teams rumored?

Rock out with your poc out... To be fair, I'm used to him in them now and he's easy to spot in a bunch

This implies he has been offered a renewal.

Tks, so he didnt accept them. Interesting.

Caja Rural is my guess.

Haig signs for GE. Similar deal to Ewan.

“Chris has signed with a U.S. team. It will be announced very soon”, the Australien Baden Cooke told VeloNews.

Basso in today's @Gazzetta_it: "If I had my own team, the first rider I'd sign would be Davide Formolo."

As mentioned elsewhere, NFTO have replaced Adam Blythe with Steele Van Hoff, formerly of Garmin.

Santambrogio is coming back with Amore & Vita

Sanatmbrogio is no longer coming back.

He tested postive OOC for testosterone in October - before his previous ban had even finished.

Saves time I suppose.

Oh dear

jimmythecuckoo

New leaf?

Only paid attention to these now:
Ancona to Movistar
JVS to AG2R
Tanner to IAM
Sutherland to Movistar (surprised he is not staying at Tinkoff)
Pantano to IAM (gave some great racing in 2014)
Beharne to MTN (will be looking out for him in 2015)
Taaramae to Astana
