    Just read the cycling news article on riders out of contract. Surprised they didnt mention Dowsett.
    In his latest vlog he mentioned he's sorted for the next 2 years, but not saying where yet

    Not a surprise.

    With quite a few younger pros still not signed, difficult to see where he’s going to go.

    To be fair, wherever he goes he will raise the profile of the team and take along some sponsors.

    I keep getting him and Sivakov confused and thinking he already rides for them!

    Chloe Dygert to Canyon-Sram for 2021

    And possibly connected, rumours that PFP is off that team to join Absolute-Absalon; who are rumoured to be losing World Champion Sarrou to Specialized. (from Pinkbike).

    Didn't she transfer to Absalon a few years ago?

    Something wonderfully french about that...

    To be honest I think she, like most MTBers, kind of manages herself. Puts an end to any cameo appearances on the road tho.

    Michael Valgren joining EF for next season. That's a decent replacement for Vanmarcke.

    Bloody good rider, though it didn't work for him at NTT. EF should suit him nicely.

    I'm getting old. In my head he was a 20 year old neo pro. Actually 25 and I somehow missed him being at Alpecin last season.

    Yeah, that was when I realised he was on the World Tour now. He had a reasonable TT and I remember reading on here he didn't know anything about the Angliru until the day before riding it. Looking at PCS he hasn't found the change in level very easy.
  • Tom Jelte Slater has retired at the age of 31.

    Tbh, I'd forgotten he was still racing (was with B&B Hotels this year)
  • When did De Marchi and Sep Vanmarke sign for Israel? Missed that but there was an article on Eurosport with Dowsett where it was mentioned

    Another case of my mind playing tricks. I thought he'd been in contention for a few one week stage races back around the time Wiggins was winning them but PCS tells me I'm wrong yet again.

    Confused him with Westra for some reason.

    I thought that he would be useful if Frome gets back.
