    Larry Warbasse is heading to Cannondale Drapac too.

    I'm glad he's got a WT spot, thought he had a decent season this year.

    PFP goes to Wiggle, could be a catch if she can find her form again. Also new Team Vos; is this ex Rabo-Liv?


    Seems la Pauline is heading to Canyon- Sram

    I thought I saw that Lachlan Morton is off to Qhubeka... that's going to help their WT cause.

    Well she got back on her bike for the first time since the Olympics this morning. So she's obviously back in the saddle.

    Oh god there's going to be too much hipster nonsense at Cannondale if Taylor goes there. Ugh.

    At least Lachlan Morton isn't heading to Cannondale. That really would be a perfect storm...

    phew. He comes across really well in interviews and his writing.

    I was wondering if Sky would be looking at him and he seems like their type of rider.

    just checked his twitter and he says he's not signed with 'dale.

    He's a Friend of the Podcast, too. Him and the Bos would do a good job in GTs that don't take place in France

    They're doing wonders for upping their WT points...

    But that is a nice little group of additions, I like DDQ more and more.

    Theo Bos wouldn't be great in GTs to be honest.

    Heap big sense all round. PFP needs to be the leader somewhere and Canyon-SRAM need to start winning on the road (or at worst, CX or XC course) rather than social media.

    I think the Bos in this context refers to Ian Boswell

    ...technically no, but there will be a lot of similarities. 7 Rabo-Liv riders for a start...

    Team Sky levels of PR boohackey in that press release ;)

    Pretty deserving, over 1000 UCI points, won a monument, absolutely essential to them winning the Tour this season.

    Is it fair to assume he stayed at sky solely for money? He's had a very successful two years. I'm sure there would have been other teams offering more to lead them if his agent was on the look out for them.

    I should imagine it's the other way round...Sky did whatever they needed to do to keep him.

    Landa not happy at Sky. Rumours linked with Movistar but would be €€€€ to buy out. Then again, they dumped a bunch of riders so.

    Landa would be a good signing for Movistar... hope it happens. I expect them to be making some decent signings...

    What did Landa want at Sky?
    Success at trentino and bombed out the giro. Was he hoping for Vuelta lead?
