2022 Transfers: Rumours & Facts

Castelli tend to only supply one team at a time; and Ineos likewise seem to have 'exclusive' suppliers. What about MAAP, or Le Col - however, could they afford it? And what about one of the major global sports brands? Or a slightly leftfield choice - Belstaff - currently the 'civilian' clothing supplier, and Fran Millar is CEO.All Road/ Gravel: tbcWinter: tbcMTB: tbcRoad: tbc"Look at the time...."

Article I read seemed to suggest they simply couldn't afford the required amount for sponsorship - didn't appear to be any sour grapes.No_Ta_Doctor said:

Not a transfer per se, but DQS will be Quick Step Alpha Vinyl next season, with Quick Step taking over as title sponsors again.0

QSAV sounds like a discount voucher website from 2013.
"Those look nice!"
"Thanks! I saved £50 on these designer jeans with Q Save!"

Wasn't it Bioracer who did a lot of work on textured Skin suits etc for Tony Martin?0
-
Haven’t Bioracer made suits in the past for Sky? Possibly in Rapha days?0

Wouldn't he get obliterated by that Bora (?) guy?ddraver said:Skimo Racing will be in the Olympics from 2026. Maybe Roglic should switch for a third time...

their skin suits are obvious from the lines that pattern the fabric. Sky and other teams had them custom made by Bioracer.
During the Time Trials you will see a lot of Bioracer skinsuits. It comes as no surprise. Martin, Kiryenka, Dumoulin, the best time trial riders of the last couple of years, rely on the expertise in tailoring and speed tuning.

UAE sign Finn Fisher-Black with immediate effect. He's been riding for the Jumbo-Visma development team for the past two years, and rode for the WT team a few times earlier this season (supporting VIngegaard to victory at the Coppi-Bartali race for example).

Louis Vervaeke, currently at Alpecin-Fenix, is rumoured to be joining DQS next season to ride in support of Evenepoel.0

Looking at van Aerts national jersey or skin suit at the Olympics, it looks a nice bit of kit.thejimmymethod said:

It's the very classical Belgium cycling jersey. Not really new. It's both boring and a classic at the same time. I wouldn't change it, but I wouldn't wear it either.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230

It is but I was referring to the Bioracer design.0

Sagan has just posted that he's not renewing with Bora.
So that's confirmed
"petosagan Today, I would like to announce that a cycle is closing in my professional career and that I will not renew my contract with @borahansgrohe beyond the end of the 2021 season.
I would like to express my appreciation to Ralph Denk, Willi Bruckbauer, the team sponsors, all my teammates, and the entire staff of BORA-hansgrohe for their support and their confidence in me during these five seasons. We have achieved so many things and even in difficult times, we stuck together. I think that we weren't just teammates, we were part of a big family.
I have no doubt that the five seasons I spent in BORA-hansgrohe were among the most prolific of my career and some of my most memorable moments happened during that period. I became the first rider to claim three consecutive World Championships, I had the honor of winning @parisroubaixcourse. I scored my 100th professional victory while wearing the BORA-hansgrohe colors, I won my record-breaking seventh green jersey in the @letourdefrance and my first ever ciclamino jersey in the @giroditalia.
However, after a long and thorough discussion with my own management and under a mutual agreement with BORA-hansgrohe, we came to the decision that it would be best if my cycle in the team came to a close and that a new chapter opened in my career. Change is part of life and growth.
I'm sure BORA-hansgrohe will continue to be successful and I wish them all the best in the coming seasons."0
