Bjorn Leukemans' contract not extended.
Surprised by that, even though he's38. He was still very strong at De Ronde this year until he got a puncture in full finale. He wants to ride another year. Would be money very well spent for a team trying to set up a classics squad.
Would be a shame if he'd be forced to retire. Attacking rider, contender for years, but without that one big win. He was the last team mate to launch Gilbert on the Cauberg to his Worlds win. Other highlight, the last to hang on to Cancellara's wheel in that bonkers 2010 Paris-Roubaix raid:

He's been Belgium's best worker at the worlds for years. Never quite recovered, results wise, from that nasty leg injury he got in the 2012 Ronde when he tried to move up on the bike path on the descent into Ronse and hit a fan."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Ah damn. I was looking forward to hearing Kirby mistake Moreno for J Rod for the 300th time.

Owain Doull has joined a world tour team for 2017. It doesn't say who but you'd assume sky. Although the cycling news article says that it came together after the tour of Britain so maybe its someone who didn't really know him before then. I hope its Greenedge tbh."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0
