I like Champion's totally-not-suspicious CQ graph... https://www.cqrank...derID=3961 
And I like Caja's signings also |

Go to Cervélo Test Team 2009. Lots of similar graphs from their riders.

I mean once you break it down it isn't that suspicious really. He got 100/325 points from winning the NC and a win at Finestere got him another 80 of those. These aren't inconceivable wins from someone like him (he was 4th in the NC in 08 for example). His only other wins that season were in .2 races.

I wonder if Champion can't cut it in the amateur ranks too he'll drop down next year to start racing against kids. |

Not really notable transfer news but Monier (Cofidis) and Rousseau (Auber 93) retire from professional cycling.
So sad. The professional peloton just got a lot less romantic... |

Finistère (which is hilly - and home), not Finestre (Italian mountains).  |

Omar Fraile also joins Caja Rural. Great team they're making, hopefuly Txurruka will grab a win for the first time.  |

Bah. That's what I get for being lazy and not double checking my spellings.

According to l'Equipe, Leonardo Duque leaves Cofidis and joins Colombia Coldeportes. Has he even done anything the last few years? Except from maybe some minor French races? Barely registered his existence. |

Probably that's why he's changing teams, letting us know he still exists |

Bobbie Traksel -> Champion Systems
Huge step down from PT in only two years. Another talent who couldn't cut it.

Won an epic Kurne-Brussels-Kurne a couple of years or so back, but literally nothing since. Shame.

Yeah, he won the Tour of the Basque Country for me on PCM10. Oh, and he won a stage of the PCM Spot Man-Game. But nothing else.
In all seriousness, he came 4th in E3 Prijs this year, a decent result. |

Levi got his contract terminated by OPQS.
The move to this team would be ideal

"We commend the rider for his open co-operation with USADA and contribution to cleaning up the sport of cycling," the team press release stated. "However, in the light of the disclosures made by Mr Leipheimer in his public statement on 10th of October the team has decided to terminate the contract."
It's not great for OPQS publicity to have Levi in their team at this time.

Levi + Horner riding together up Mt. Baldy = two bald testicles teabagging the sky

Last year Traksel had a very bad crash, he had a nerve damage in hand and couldn't move his left hand for some time. He made the recovery, but after such injury - it's very tough to come back to the same level again.
Another two riders for Caja Rural. Javier Moreno ( Androni / 5th in Spanish RR this year ) and Ivan Velasco ( Euskaltel / good classics results, 26th Vuelta and 11th Bejing this year ) join the team.
