    Rumour today is PFP is going to Ineos. Seemingly confirmed by a few people as well.

    That was on a few MTB websites around a month ago; and there are two differing stories. One is to be part of the full Ineos team. The other was a team merely sponsored by Ineos and having no connection to the well known cycling team.

    Saw a rumour on Twitter this morning Nairo is off to AG2R.

    No idea how much weight there is in it. I'm the guy who bought Cav to EF hook, like and sinker a couple of months ago so make of that what you will.

    Domestique for O’Connor?

    Did I dream it or did Sir Carlton Kirby say that Ilio Keijsse might be headed to a team car at Ineos?

    Seems like a high number, do you know if they wanted to go or were pushed?

    One for our Danish correspondent - Michael Valgren is going to start next season riding for EF EasyPost's development squad to ease into his comeback from his crash at the Tour de Sud:

    Also, Movistar confirm the signing of Ruben Guerreiro on a three year deal. Seems like a match made in heaven.

    Remco quashes the INEOS rumour on Gee's podcast.

    Hints that OPQS are keen to build a GC focussed Team again.

    Interessant...

    When did they ever have a GC focused team? Before Remco's win, they managed two podiums in the 20 odd years of their existence.

    The plot thins.....
    B&B / KTM have postponed presser that was assumed to be launching sponsor & Cavendish signing.

    From the sounds of it, there's a delay caused by setting up the company structure to manage the team, as well as a possible lack of sponsorship money.

    I dare say they'd like to get a stage win.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Given wild cards usually go to French teams in the tour, will IPT be in with a chance.

    I would have thought it will be the same 22 teams as this year. There's no obvious team to replace them and they did win two stages.
