    Aleksandr Vlasov to Ineos according to Ciro Scognamiglio.

    I thought he was in the first year of a two year deal with Astana.

    Ciro says likely from 2022. Which would stack up with the two year deal with Astana. Guess there is also room to negotiate an early release...

    Sounds like NTT are struggling to hold it all together. Main sponsor confirmed but Riis is finding it hard to bring more sponsors in and only 4 riders confirmed for next year.

    They'll have to wait, he's got two more years on his contract with EF.

    Sounds like they’re building a very strong team. Yates, Porte, Martinez, De Plus.......

    Sounds like BMC will be following GVA to AG2R-Citroen. Will continue to provide bikes to NTT if they are still around also...

    Pidcock confirmed for Ineos.

    first of a raft of new signings, confirmed they're trying to get Dani Martínez. Interested in Conor Swift as well.

    Shifting focus and moving their base from Monaco to Andorra.

    Suppose its better for the South Americans plus with Froome leaving.

    Was thinking today that Swift would be a good fit for them.

    Well, Rafa Majka. I think Pinot would be a good signing for them and him

    Pidcock to Ineos is interesting - looks like they're getting onboard with the trend towards younger riders too.

    Much more of this trend and the new look mountain trains will be like ...

    He won't be their youngest squad member though.

    Astana can't afford Lopez anymore. Where is he likely to go? Who has any money?

    Israel would have the money and space. And he could be insurance against Froome failing to come back.

    UAE will be looking to strengthen their squad. Trek could use him to replace Porte (or have they already done that).

    Not sure they've got the money, even with Adam Yates leaving. If Simon goes as well (has been rumoured) then maybe

    Simon just signed an extension to 2022 a month ago, has something changed?

    No, you're more up to date than me.

    Not sure really, they'll be looking for a GC rider with Bardet going and Colombians are so hot right now, second only to Slovenians.

    Good signings, interesting to see what Pidcock can do at this level.

    I assume Swifts move is off due to Arkea investigation.
