Yeah, he seems to have bad luck whenever he comes into form. He probably fills a mountain domestique role well but would potentially be a good bet for hilly stage wins and races like the Ardennes Classics somewhere less GC focussed. I'm not sure he would be a GT contender with the current crop of riders (decent showing in the only one he has done so far though). I think things are a bit distorted these days due to Pogacar and Bernal, now at 25 I'm probably guilty of expecting riders to be hitting their main objectives when in reality they are still young.andyp said:
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 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.
I think there maybe a few considering their options. Dunbar is someone who needs to change teams IMO.
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.0 -
Diego Rosa (remember him?) to join EOLO-Kometa for next season.0
-
Have we had Viviani staying at Cofidis yet as well? That's the current rumour.0

I thought he was supposed to be moving to Ineos, as weird as that move was?PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20231

Brailsford apparently has now advised the team he’s not going away.rick_chasey said:Anyone mentioned Brailsford yet? Ah yes, I need to read.

Sportful to Total Direct Energie with Sagan.
Le Col to Bora, presumably Bora have accumulated a large number of Le Col discount vouchers for completing Strava challenges.6 -

Not sure , it’s hard keeping up with the constant bombardment of ‘news’ from CN as they make every Twitter rumour into a story!roscoe said:

I thought his brother had another year at Trek. Has he been released early?RichN95. said:It's been confirmed. Along with his brother.
They're also linked to Lopez, Moscon, De La Cruz. Leonardo Basso and Conti
On a second look that bit hasn't been confirmed. But I expect they'll let him go.Twitter: @RichN950 -
Ion Izagirre leaving Astana for Cofidis.
That's how bad things have got at Astana.0 -
Jumbo-VIsma finally confirm signing Dutch XCO Champion......Milan Vader, from KMC-Orbea.All Road/ Gravel: tbcWinter: tbcMTB: tbcRoad: tbc"Look at the time...." "he's fallen like an old lady on a cruise ship..."0

Coryn Rivera is leaving Team DSM to join Jumbo-Visma apparently. Strikes me as an odd one as she's a very similar rider to Marianne Vos, although clearly without the same palmares.0

Quite the change at Ineos, and not just the older riders with the likes of Moscon and Doull leaving - be interesting to see who they are going to be signing over the next few months, looks like a major overhaul has been called for.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

Tom's a delicate rider who probably would enjoy not having so much limelight and being the most interesting and talented Dutch rider on the main Dutch team probably isn't good for him.0 -
Indeed. The Dennis move was probably more likely looking to bolster the engine room with Tony Martin retiring.rick_chasey said:

Be a shame not to see that trio destroying it in a TTT though.
IF it happens of course.
"A report in L’Equipe suggesting Tom Dumoulin could break his contract at Jumbo-Visma and move to BikeExchange for 2022 has quickly been denied, but Cyclingnews understands the Dutchman could join the Australian team in 2023, when his current deal is set to expire.
The French sports newspaper splashed a report of Dumoulin’s possible move on their website, claiming that “talks have advanced well in the last few days,” and suggesting the transfer would happen for the 2022 season.
L’Equipe suggested that Giant want Dumoulin as a figurehead of the team. The claim caused a stir but Dumoulin’s management told quickly Wielerflits they knew nothing of the L’Equipe report, while Jumbo-Visma told the Dutch-language site they “never respond to rumours.” BikeExchange declined to comment when contacted by Cyclingnews.

Might get the opportunity then - assuming any of the GT's have it in their schedule, and all 3 are picked.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

Might be having a brain block but didn't think any WT team were on Giant at the mo? Suggests Bike Ex are switching again.daniel_b said:Be a shame not to see that trio destroying it in a TTT though.
