    How can they be on a page if they are unwritten?
    And mores the point, how can they be torn up?

    I can almost hear the fluttering of the remaining pages as they settle after my comment wooshed over your head.

    I assumed that was the joke. A variation on a verbal agreement not being worth the paper it is written on.

    And a reference to the nonsense of the unwritten rules of cycling which are someone's choice to uphold, but all the more intrigue to pay them no need and face the consequences.

    Luke Rowe - 3 more years at Sky

    Renshaw renews at Dimension Data ... presumably to be followed by Cav?

    They're on the same page as a verbal agreement

    Not officially announced though yet is it? Still the chance Sky will pinch him.

    Sky!? Not official official, but seems to be a done deal that he stays. It's pretty good of DD considering he may never race again.

    ^Seriously do you not see the joke here? Reference to Soza being pinched, it not being contracted, Sky 'pinched' him, a load of crap jokes follow.....

    Thank you ;)

    I wonder if Cav could be the first heavyweight (palmares) pro to sign a zero hours contract?

    Can't believe he has been there 4 years! - not sure how it has worked out - he seems quite an 'independent' rider?

    Who have Sky got rid of? They seem to have recruited a lot of new riders but I can only think of Intxausti leaving.

    Wiśniowski is moving to BMCCCC. And an interview with Lizzie Deignan in today's Guardian says Phil's looking for a contract - so he's another

    That's a shame, I thought he had done some very good work for them in recent years.

    And that link reminds us that Sergio Henao is off to UAE. So that's four leaving, and currently three (including Dunbar, but not yet Sosa) coming in

    Cheers, I'd forgotten Sergio was leaving, logic would suggest Sebastian would follow from that list then. Feels like they've signed more than 3/4 probably as they have all been mentioned quite recently.
