I don't want to see Farrar go to MTN, I'd rather another PCT team. MTN already has Ciolek, Bos, Goss and Boasson Hagen now. What's the point.

Are Goss and Bos confirmed yet?
However, I could not agree more. I don't get why they want to sign so many sprinters. Maybe they take in account that one or two of them won't get back to their original level, so they want at least one or two really delivering (e.g. Goss wouldn't deliver, so he could be a great help for Bos or Farrar). But still, Ciolek is already a great sprinter and has his train. Boasson Hagen now is iirc nobody who really needed strong sprint support. That would be a whole sprinter overload and I seriously doubt they can make that work as good as f.e. Lotto or Argos.

Yeah, but it could really be an outstanding team in classics like Milano-Sanremo. They all are good punchers, too, and Farrar does well on the cobbles, too. The only "pure sprinter" is Bos.
And don't forget Sbaragli, he renewed a while ago, so he will be there until 2016. |

Anyone saying Ciolek is a great sprinter, should check his results this year  Very average at best.
Anyhow OPQS signs David de la Cruz from Netapp.

Team Alonso will ride on Cervelo bikes. Link.
Also, quite surprisingly - to me at least - OPQS has signed David de la Cruz from NetApp. Link. |

I know, this year was not his best. Not to say really bad. But last year he was quite successful, not only because he won Mailand San-remo but also he won stages in stage races (Tour of Britain, Österreich-Rundfahrt, Bayern-Rundfahrt f.e.)
Don't you think that after a bad year another good may come?
EDIT: Yes, i shouldn't have called him "great". But I still think he can be considered a "good" sprinter. sad that this year he is kinda weak, would have liked to see him in Vuelta last year..

Already last season I saw Sbaragli as faster in many races. But often Ciolek got the train instead.
This season Sbaragli indeed seems to have made the next step and clearly overtook Ciolek in speed and positioning.
Positioning and timing probably are the things that Ciolek never learned and never will. Always those 700m sprints when actually having a good wheel... |

Netapp isn't planning to be a WT team next year, they will have a Conti-Pro license again.

So, what the hell are they doing?
Are they focusing only on classics?

Is Pardilla really that big of a loss? They have other up and coming climbing talent
Hells 500 Crew and 6 x Everester
Don Rd Launching Place
Melbourne Hill Rd Warrandyte
Colby Drive Belgrave South
William Rd The Patch
David Hill Rd Monbulk
Lakeside Drive Emerald

He is still a valid rider for Mountains. And they will lose experience in a young team... |

Frank Schleck and Ricardo Zoidl extend their contracts with Trek for another 2 years.
Orica is also negotating an improved deals for Yates twins, the extension would add one year to current contracts, meaning they would be with Orica till end of 2016 season.

Cardoso extends with Garmin to the end of 2016. Very capable and consistent climber, good to have him onboard. |

Would be a big mistake to go to MTN imo. Too many sprinters already there. |

I know . It really would be. He'd have a much worse role than at most WT teams. I'm sure there are some other PCT teams that he would have better options on.

United HealthCare would be a good team for him. (if they keep sponsoring? no idea tbh)
American team and even Förster is getting many chances there. |
