    Not so much transfer news but next year Etixx-Quick-Step will now be known as Quick-Step Floors (from their official FB page).

    Good. Back to calling them Quick-Step

    Is he to be groomed for SDB's dream of a French winner in the post-Froome years?
    Or is he just a sop to mitigate the French public's and press' disdain for Sky?

    We demand answers.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Topical given that he's riding with Cam Meyer in the Six Day London right now, but Aussie media reporting that Miles Scotson is about to sign to turn pro with BMC

    Sky just announced they've signed Jon Dibben for 2017, presumably on a two year deal.

    For some reason I thought he'd signed with Cannondale - was there a strong rumour?

    For the second half of this season, did a race or two also as I recall.

    Don't think it was his cup of tea though. He still did some racing for Wiggins in that time too.

    You seem to be more French than most of us. Perhaps entirely French. What has been the reaction to Elissonde joining Sky from our Gallic friends?

    One Pro Cycling to drop down to Continental level next season, due to the budget shortfall with Factor bikes leaving to sponsor AG2R.
