    Damn, would be sad to see Hansen go, although he is 39 so maybe about time... Apparently, he's vowed to race in 2021 https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/adam-hansen-feels-cheated-by-halted-coronavirus-season/

    Hansen says he's off to do Ironman. He may still race with a smaller team.

    Surprised Israel haven’t made anymore signings or have I missed them?

    Apparently Ineos are in discussion with Edvald Boasson Hagen. At this rate Bernie Eisel and Mick Rogers need to get back in training.

    Seems an odd one, what would be his role?

    He's hardly road Captain material is he.

    I thought they said the roster was complete?

    Not a rider, but Fran Millar has left Ineos Grenadiers as CEO to become CEO of Belstaff (another Ineos owned company)

    That's a bit of a sideways move - isn't Belstaff rather posh

    They cost more than leather ones these days, where as when I was teenager they were what bikers who couldn’t afford leather wore.

    Start around £250, rising to £1000. They have nailed the 'men of a certain age' market.

    Oh ok fair enough , As webbo wrote, I remember them in my youth as a worthy and well made but cheaper than leather Motor Cycle garment maker. They have rebranded then Probably made abroad! Any way I think perhaps erroneously that a handmade garment is the only ‘posh’ moniker.

    Yeah, I had a pair of the waxed over trousers, and one of their nylon jackets rather than the waxed version. That got discarded when I got a leather jacket. All absolutely practical rather than 'style'.

    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.

    All via the Telegraph

    I wonder if he wishes he had waited till today to sign as he’s won another two rainbow jerseys this week..

    PFP demolished the Women's Field too.

    Evie Richards had a strong start in her first Senior World Champs but ended in 13th place. Isla Short, who hasn't been much to shout about until this season had a stunner to finish 5th.

    Majka to UAE to support Pogacar. Expect more UAE announcements over the coming weeks.
    Team My Man 2022:

    Antwan Tolhoek, Sam Oomen, Tom Dumoulin, Thymen Arensman, Remco Evenepoel, Benoît Cosnefroy, Tom Pidcock, Mark Cavendish, Romain Bardet

    I bet Pogacar's well pleased with that, Majka's never come across as someone who's going to dig deep to help someone else. Not when there's a 3rd place in the mountains jersey and 12th on GC to be chasing.

    Yes I saw that. He's definitely GC material. Veuillermoz has gone to Direct Energie

    He was always going to be picked up by someone with his current form. He's been excellent value in the Giro.
