    Sagan to Bora for 3 years confirmed

    Not seen Bora at many rats the year, do they have any other decent riders ?

    I assume juraj will be joining them too

    Bora-Hansgrohe get both Sagans, Bodnar, Michael Kolar and Erik Baska. And Specialized as a bike supplier.

    They have a decent team for Pro-Conti level, with the likes of Sam Bennett, Scott Thwaites, Emanuel Buchman, Jan Barta, Bartosz Huzarski and Shane Archbold. Leopold Konig is rumoured to be rejoining them as he is leaving Sky.

    Hugh Carthy (possibly) going to Cannondale.

    Shame, coz it looked like he was going to have a good career.

    Disappointed if Konig is leaving. Was hoping he would be leading at the Vuelta or getting a full team for the Giro next year. Froome, Landa and Konig and have a real go at all 3 GT's

    ^hasnt exactly flourished there, injury this year notwithstanding

    Right decision, I think. Needs to get back to progression after this 2 year Meh hiatus

    Fairly old news, but I noticed Mads Wurtz was riding for Virtu Pro Veloconcept at the Tour of Denmark - apparently this is Seir and Bjarne Riis' new team. Used to be Trefor.

    :shock: Really!?! I was wondering where he would end up, but I am surprised...

    According to Cycling Weekly he's off to Katusha

    Also Degenkolb and Pantano to Trek along with Contador

    Who is? Kreuziger? That one's not a rumour, Orica announced it themselves.

    Mea Culpa.. well it was on their transfers page yesterday, but funnily they also do have him going to OBE as well so must have been some dimwit pasting name twice

    Will be a very Visegrad focused team if Konig joins them too.

    Mattias Braendle to Trek. Think Mike Teunissen is going to Giant too.

    FDJ sign Jacopo Guanieri from Katusha, Tobias Ludvigsson from Giant and Rudy Molard from Cofidis.

    Not sure about Carthy to Cannondale, could be a good move but I was hoping a slightly more ambitious team would snap him up.

    Kluge confirmed to OBE. Good result for him that.

    I reckon they should have done more to keep Degenkolb. Yes, he's had a bad season, but it was hardly his fault. First Giant lose Kittel, now Degenkolb. It seems like a step backwards to me.

    Stijn Vandenbergh to AG2R according to Patrick Leferve.

    That'll go well.

    That's been confirmed with Oliver Naesen

    Tough up the classics squad

    Why the scepticism?

    Also, isn't it Sunweb-Giant next year, with Alpecin moving to Katusha?

    I missed that then - where's Degenkolb off to? Etixx?

    Have we had Rui de Costa and Majka to Katusha yet? Just a rumor I think or is it confirmed

    Not sure either. Ulissi and Meintjes are supposedly joining Bahrain-Merida with ex Lampre manager Copeland though
