2023 Transfer rumours and confirmed moves

The guy is one of the big agents. He'll be talking to teams all the time. In sure "any chance Tadej would fancy a move?" Comes up all the time.m.r.m. said:I don't understand how it could even be theoretically possible for Ineos to sign Pogacar away from UAE if he is signed until 2027. UAE don't seem like a team needing to sell the best rider in the world for some cash. Their team and success is entirely built around Pogacar.

Roglic will leave JV according to Wielerfits, destination either Lidl-Trek or Ineos.1
-
Yep saw that, Bahrain and Movistar interested too, but then I suppose any team with ambitions and cash would be really.
Wonder what TGH would think if Roglic ended up at Lidl.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

I can't think Tao will be too happy with that. Or CRod or G at Ineos.daniel_b said:Yep saw that, Bahrain and Movistar interested too, but then I suppose any team with ambitions and cash would be really.

Daniel Friebe said on the latest Cycling Podcast that Ratcliffe wants a rider that can win the Tour, is Roglic that rider? Up against Pog, Vin, Remco etc.......1 -
I personally think that Remco is also likely to leave. He is not going to be happy with not being No 1 at the TDF next year. That will be an implied part of his contract in all probability if not an actual term.roscoe said:

Ineos is the likely destination I would have thought. Leaving the path open for Roglic to go to Lidl.
All that said, I do wonder whether this is about Fat Pat bringing Ineos back to the table after they walked away a couple of weeks ago.1 -
He probably isn't, but he is the closest one that may actually be available. Those 4 mentioned are the only ones (currently) for whom the case can be made that they can win the Tour in the near future.roscoe said:

If the Tour lacks ITT km's I'm not sure Remco wouldn't try for the Giro/Vuelta double next year considering how those races went for him this year and then target the Tour in 2025.stage_hunter said:

He probably wants Olympic gold in the ITT and maybe even the road race, so that would factor in in terms of schedule planning and peaking form as well.
Not sure if that means the Tour is less or more likely.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230 -
Enric’s going to love that!andyp said:2 -
Can't imagine him in that team. Ineos absolutely. Thomas has a limited shelf life now and he is still capable of finishing well a la Adam Yates but isn't going to beat Jonas or Pog0

Remco has been very clear about riding the tour next year. He has ambitions to be a well known GT champion, and next year will be his 6th pro year. It’s unthinkable he won’t be going to the tour- in his mind. And he will not want to go as a number 2.m.r.m. said:

Reports that Amazon will be coming in as sponsor for J-V1

Pity Amazon weren't doing a Jumbo documentary this year. 😉The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I'm not sure I can ever recall so many rumours, and counter claims about riders, teams, mergers and sponsors.r0bh said:Reports that Amazon will be coming in as sponsor for J-V
It's all over the place.
That would presumably crush the merger then as well.

Cycling Weakly now reporting that Amazon will co-sponsor the merged Jumbo-Visma-QuickStep-Soudal super-mega-team
So this might not crush the merge after all.

Oh wowsas ok, if the Amazon sponsorship meant that JV stayed solo, I thought that meant Remco would stay where he was, but if they are still merging, I would expect him to go elsewhere.
Ideally Pog, REv, JVin, and Roglic all at different teams would be the ideal from a fans point of view I would have thought.
Bizarre that they have put all this (or was it leaked) into the media so far ahead of anything being formally decided or agreed, AND it sound like it might not kick in until 2025, it's really odd.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

So the other teams just have to wait for Prime Day or Black Friday to snap up a bargain for riders out of contract?

The problem is if all 4 go to different teams then the team that comes 4th at the Tour is considered a failure. If you're a team much better to buy up as many of the 'big 4' as possible, there is so insentive not too if it can be afforded.0

And if all 4 end up in the same team who would bother to watch any of the races?“You may think that; I couldn’t possibly comment!”

Let me get this straight then, the new JumboVismaSoudalQuikstep collab team is going to be sponsored by Neom-Apple-Amazon.

If true that would create a super-team and would be the death knell of elite pro racing.

If Roglic leaves I'm not convinced Evenepoel will too. He's flopped at the giro and vuelta which gives him an excuse to avoid the tour again and he loves an excuse."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0

He's 23. It's a bit early to quit on a race he's never ridden due to a bout of Covid and a jour-sansTwitter: @RichN953 -
