    Jumbo may well be making a mistake but if he goes to a French team so will he be.

    Ineos to sign 5 promising youngsters that leave 3 years later not having got near the podium of a GT.

    Not confirmed, just something they seem to like doing.

    Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Remco rumours start again.

    Cavendish is having a press conference tomorrow. He's expected to say that this is his last season.

    Surprised this hasn't been posted already, but Daniel Friebe said this week that there are strong rumours that Dani Martinez will be riding for Bora-Hansgrohe next season.

    Just catching up with Tour of Norway, and apparently Belgium media is reporting Fabio Jakobsen in talks to go to BORA - hansgrohe. Quick Step going full in for GC stuff with Evenpoel

    Can't afford both I believe. and GC stuff is more expensive.

    Wouldn't they also have to drop, or at least cut, their Classics squad? Arguably, on this year's showing, they already have. Alaphilippe is contracted for next season otherwise I suspect he'd be going.

    I think if Pat L got the right offer for JA he would take it

    They've definitely cut their classics cloth to invest in Remco. Which is fine, but in a world of COVID positives and mad first weeks of the Tour is quite risky

    He's won 2 monuments and the Worlds RR plus a couple of San Sabastiens, versus "just" the Vuelta as his only stage race, so thus far I'd say their investment has primarily produced one day returns more than stage race returns.

    Have we done TGH to Lidl-Trek? Can’t see it myself but flashed up on my news feed as a rumour.

    I think Daniel Friebe mentioned this on the Cycling Podcast during the Giro. It would surprise me, given that TGH has a strong affinity with Ineos, having skipped school to attend the team launch back in 2010, but stranger things have happened.

    He’s also arguably Ineos’ main GT rider at present and would have a strong team behind him.

    Too pricey for Lefevre to just be a domestique for Remco.

    Unless is a swap deal🤣

    Talking of TGH. Has anyone seen any news on how his rehab is going ?

    Pretty sure I saw a video of him maybe on twitter making a coffee from a wheelchair.

    I'm taking from that he has not been on a bike at all, and it may even be some time - looks likely this year is written off sadly.

    He posted an update on Instagram yesterday. Doing pool-based rehab in London at the moment.

    Pay me more energy?

    Ciro reporting that Luke Lamperti, who's been consistently winning in the u23 ranks, is set for Soudal-Quick Step.

    And Ben Tulett is out of contract at the end of the year and attracting interest from other teams:

    I'm sure Tulett had said Sky/Ineos was his dream team.....so it's interesting if he leaves there. Still only 21, but seems to have been around for years...

    Sounds like Bora-Hansgrohe are interested in Tulett too.

    Aren’t Ineos reported to be having a bit of a clear out this year?

    Probably. None of the young guys they've signed have looked like winning the tour so they'll all be off. Whichever one goes to Jumbo will win the tour in 2025.

    I thought they only just had one.......

    That would be a bit of a shocker if Tulett goes imho, well unless they are going to make a BIG signing, but I'm struggling to see it happening.
    Perhaps their budget is being reduced.
    I wonder what fate awaits Bernal.
    He has a contract until the end of 2026 of course.
