Beppe Conti, whose track record is patchy on these matters
A twitter search for his name brings this up

Why would there be a break down of anything? He is their number 1 rider on the roster and won the Giro. There are only 2 other better GC riders in the world. Seems highly doubtful. Neither side would benefit from this.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20232

First I saw on the Bernal story is his agent rubbishing it:

Does anyone believe anything from a sports agents mouth? They have often been accused of planting similar stories to drive up the "price" of their athlete. It may indeed be (and probably is) a non story but until the rider says something it's still a possibility.1

No - I had opened instagram for another notification, and then noticed a post from KMC-Orbea; it seems his contract runs until the end of next year.
Also, the Vader to Jumbo-Visma hasn't actually been confirmed yet - though Bart mentioned it yesterday on the RedBull coverage.All Road/ Gravel: tbcWinter: tbcMTB: tbcRoad: tbc"Look at the time...." "he's fallen like an old lady on a cruise ship..."0 -

I think there maybe a few considering their options. Dunbar is someone who needs to change teams IMO.Twitter: @RichN950 -

CN saying that Brailsford will move on to wider Ineos sport role leaving Rod E in his role as team manager.2020/2021/2022 Metric Century Challenge Winner0

Just this really - well as far as I could see:ddraver said:Incidentally, do we know how his health is holding up?
"However, the 57-year-old Brailsford revealed in July that he has overcome prostate cancer and heart surgery in recent years and hinted he may step away from the stressful team management role. "Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

Hopefully he's getting back well and over his health issues.
The report suggests he's moving away from the cycling team to oversee ineos teams across multiple sports, so if he is to become the management face of those then the stress levels will probably be just as high, possibly indicating health wasn't the reason for the change of role.0 -

It's a move that's been on the cards for a while I think. Ineos need someone to oversee their ever increasing sport empire.
Either that or he's taken Ineos's move to disc brakes very badly.Twitter: @RichN950 -
I think Dunbar has been held back a bit by injury (and maybe illness?). I agree though, he could thrive somewhere with more of a free role.RichN95. said:carbonclem said:Bernal story isn’t going away. More rumours on Twitter that he’s moving teams.

He was clearly happy with his role when he signed a two year deal last year. Wasn't he down to do the Giro, then missed out due to illness or injury, and then something similar happed for the Vuelta? The team clearly value him, so he might get a chance next season assuming he's fit and healthy.Pross said:

I think significant changes are coming at Ineos, in terms of who is considered for the Tour squad after this year's relatively poor showing.

Apparently only the one Sagan going to TotalEnergies - fewer sidekicks than anticipated moving with him.0
