Team Bora with the next signing.
Björn Thurau signs for 2 years. Nice trade for both I think. |

Looks like they are signing most of the second tier German riders. It would be nice if they could also sign a sprinter in that way, pity Arndt is going to Cofidis IIRC.

Wouldn`t say 2nd tier riders.
Nerz is by far the best German stage racer (next to Tony Martin I guess, but he is more focussing ITT`s nowadays)
Thurau was progressing very nicely last season riding aggressive and just missing the big results. Working a bit on his tactics might help him and this is what Denk wants to improve the most.
I guess with 1st tier riders you mainly mean the top sprinters like Greipel, Kittel, Degenkolb and time trialist Tony Martin. But other than those, I think they got some of the better Germans in especially as the 4 above wouldn`t join a PCT team I guess..
Sprinting wise they still have Bennett, who should be one of the best PCT sprinters and some solid backups like Schorn and Krieger for smaller races.

Really? Where have you heard that? I may have missed that, but I pray he won't.
Thuraus is indeed a very good signing. And Bora is probably one of his best options anyway as it is one of the teams granting each rider lots of freedom usually.

I suppose Cossack confused Arndt with Ahlstrand. |

Aldemar Reyes, current best U-23 in Vuelta a Colombia 2014, will be signed for BMC at the end of World Championships.
Mattia Galli swiss manager is negociating that...

So that's Ciolek, Bo Hagen, Bos, Farrar and Goss? Or did I miss someone?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Sbaragli as well. Better sprinter than Ciolek imo. |

Wow...
I know he's past his best, but surely many PCT teams would look for a solid rider like him.. But to be fair, he might have chosen Dubai because of the money. So..

MTN stated after letting Gerdemann go, that they totally want to focus on one day races and GT`s.
So having lots of those classic riders like Boasson Hagen, Goss, Farrar, Ciolek is good to have to be competive in all of them.
Bos probably might be more for GT`s and pan flat classics. |

Brajkovic is definitely showing a lack of ambitions.
Also it should be confirmed that Hutarovich and Nocentini will leave AG2R. Can't remember if it has been mentioned already.

Both intresting departures. Nocentini, quite a nostalgic one since his stint in yellow in 2009 saved AG2R from a horror season. Shame he got injured this year since he showed it last year, he's still a quality rider. Huta leaving them leaves them with only Dumoulin as a ''sprinter'' however Daniel may develop to a decent rate since next season possibly.

Maybe Nocentini will sign with Androni?
Also Pardilla will leave MTN. A possible signing for Alonso? https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/repor...tn-qhubeka

I read Pardilla has 2 offers from 2 "not spanish" PCT.
"@cobblesandhills Según informa @EFEnoticias, Sergio Pardilla no seguirá en MTN-Qhubeka. Tiene ofertas de otros equipos extranjeros."
