    Looks like Qhubeka-Nexthash will be no more:

    No-one saw that coming, I'll bet

    So the World Championships will be in Rwanda.

    The only African WT team is about to fold. Sad that they can’t get sponsorship.

    They're also linked to Lopez, Moscon, De La Cruz. Leonardo Basso and Conti

    I thought his brother had another year at Trek. Has he been released early?

    On a second look that bit hasn't been confirmed. But I expect they'll let him go.
    Alright, Nostradamus.

    I thought he was supposed to be moving to Ineos, as weird as that move was?

    That seemed to be the suggestion by Hatch on comms today he said the ink was just drying on the contract.

    Bit of a clearout at Ineos, with Ivan Sosa confirmed at Movistar, which has long been rumoured, and Leonardo Basso and Sebastian Henao both heading to Astana.

    I genuinely thought Sosa had joined Arkea last off season.

    ISN staying true to form of only signing riders long past their prime. Just need GVA and Degenkolb now. 😛

    Which almost certainly means a deal with Premier-Tech to come in as a sponsor has been agreed.

    Feels like they've lost a lot more riders than they've signed so far.

    Sosa hasn't finished a race since Algarve in early May, had he been ill / injured or just out of favour?

    Ineos is going to be a very young team next season by the look of it.

    Victor Campenaerts is going back to Lotto-Soudal for next season. Cue cheesy video:

    Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux announce sponsorship deal with Vini Zabù.
    Vini Zabù were sponsoring the Italian team of the same name, who look to be in real trouble - they've missed the deadline for filing paperwork as pro conti level team for next season, presumably because they've lost their title sponsor

    As have Savio's Androni, apparently.

    There was a bit on the latest Cycling Podcast episode which I listened to today, had Savio on saying he'd got another title (?) sponsor alongside Androni, can't remember name, plus would have fewer sponsor names on next year's kit. Late kerfuffle perhaps.

    Tim Kerrison is leaving Ineos. Moving on to something else I guess as Xabier Artetxe seems to have more influence now with the top Spanish speaking riders.

    He's probably been one of the most influential people in cycling over the last decade.

    Staying in cycling? Can see him at UAE or Jumbo-Visma.

    Who knows? He was meant to go to England Cricket before Brailsford took him. Maybe back to his roots. British Rowing need a shake up after Tokyo

    Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli, apparently. Another Savio mouthful.

    I thought he'd left a few years ago, shows how much attention I pay. I would have thought that by now all his tricks are known so not sure what he adds.

    Kristen Faulkner joining Team Bike Exchange for 2022. Might put paid to the rumours that the team is set to be shut down.

    Seems as if Tiesj Benoot is leaving Team DSM; yet another wanting out. There seems to be a problem there - and it's not being addressed.....

    Im not understanding why qhubeka are making a big deal out of the loss to African cycling if the don’t continue. In 3 years they’ve went from having 14 African cyclists to having only 2 they seem to have been the ones that are diminishing African cycling
