Hmm, MTN-Qhubeka is dealing with Serge Pauwels. He won't renew with Etixx-Quick Step and Gerard Vroomen, founder of Cervelo (that will be in partnership with MTN next year) wants him there.
Also, De Gendt will likely leave the team, having shown nothing in the last season. |

Only Formolo was secured to join them.
Moreno Moser, Elia Viviani, Alan Marangoni, Kristijan Koren, Davide Villella, Alberto Bettiol and Matej Mohoric were all not guaranteed.
Vaughters said that he expects at least half of them to join them though. |

Viviani is already confirmed to Cannondale Slipstream next year. Not just offered a contract. He confirmed his.
@Roturn He did.

Now i see another CN article contradicting it so i guess it's true
If they Cannondale miss out on Viviani, then their sprint game just went from bad to worse this off-season.

All the italian sources confirm that Viviani already has signed with Cannondale-Garmin...
It is OFFICIAL for them.
I hope that he remains, Cannondale-Garmin must have a decent sprinter, at least one.. |

Is Steele Von Hoff already having a new team?
Otherwise they should consider to extend the contract as it`s only Navardauskas having a decent sprint at the moment. |

I hope Elia goes to Sky. He already showed that he's pretty decent without much support in Cannondale and as Sky needs a good sprinter, I can see that happening. If it's true that he resigned with Garmin-Cannondale, well... shame.

Navardauskas is an average sprinter...
Yeah, i know he arrived in the top 10 in 5 stages at the tour (1 won and 2 top 3) but he was a bit lucky...
Other than that he had not other really good results.
Von Hoff is another average sprinter but he never won anything and his best results were a 2nd & 3rd place at TDP in 2013 and a 3rd place at TDU, 2013.
Anyway, Viviani released an interview to cyclingnews where he says that he will officially remain at Garmin-Cannondale.

As far as it looks now Sky will try to push the Viviani deal through hard. They have extra benefit as they know him quite well when he raced on the track.
Sky 2015 signings likely now: Viviani, Poels, Roche, Nordhaug and lastly König.
König is a wanted man, but hardest to get on a contract as he's wanted by few teams. But looks like Sky are in pole position. However that can change quickly, so he's nowhere done deal yet.

Swift isn't as good as Viviani and he's more like uphill sprinter than classic one.

Yeah he is more kind of a punchy sprinter.
And he finished MSR 3rd this year.I thought he is a better sprinter because of that.But yeah true.

Sky would be a terrible move for Koenig. I don't see him leading even a few races with sky. |

Swift is without contract for next season still I believe. And I would pick Ben Swift over Viviani any day any time.
Present:
Tinkoff-Saxo - AG2R - Colombian riders
Past:
Francisco Mancebo - Illes balears - Carlos Sastre - Kelme - Robbie McEwen

That is a fair call, Swift is a solid rider who is always around the placings and seems to be happy playing 2nd fiddle to Sky's GT ambitions
