    Pidcock has committed to Ineos for the next five years

    Anyone know if that includes this year or not?
    Instagram announcement suggests through 2027, so 5 years not including this year

    Says until 2027, so would take that to mean until the end of the 2027 season.

    Jim Ratcliffe put a bid in for Chelsea, and he already owns Nice and IIRC another team in France

    Fits with the profile of bringing in younger riders. Replacement though?

    Already signed a 2 year deal according to Dutch Media. Groan.

    Edit: Arensman, that is. In response to Rich's post which I negligently omitted to quote.

    Quite like the "super shadow leader" moniker.

    Rumours of Adam Yates (returning) and Eddie Dunbar to Jayco/Bike Ex. Also keen to retain Simon.

    DSM can't really offer much in terms of support for Arensman.
    Ineos must be a better option for him than joining the ever expanding ranks of Jumbo, just because he's Dutch.
    Especially now that they are mixing up tactics and have been the most exciting team in the peloton, so far this year.
    Best he can hope for at Jumbo is perhaps the slot below Foss in their pecking order.

    Not much to disagree with there except Arensman is a much better prospect than Foss.

    From a selfish point of view, if he had gone to Jumbo, there'd have been a decent prospect of seeing him in this neck of the woods over the winter, along with the other regular Dutch riders.

    He's strongly rumoured to be returning to Movistar.

    Thought he was persona non grata there. But he is prob the best person available for those GC things.

    Tormans team to Quick-Step not likely to happen; hardly a surprise.

    If they let Carapaz and Yates go, puts a lot of pressure on Bernal to come back. Who else do they have for GC, Sivakov, Tao, Martinez?

    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    No-one really proven at GT level though. Tao has obviously won the Giro but does anyone see hi becoming a regular contender? I'm not convinced by Sivakov at all.

    If Ineos buy Manchester United, Tao will leave on principle. He loves Arsenal so much that he's dating one of the players.

    Arensman is / will be better than all of those. By some distance.
