Pro Transfers for 2014

Caughtisone?

Yeah, that and the odd stellar performance. I reckon Tommy has discovered a way to oxygenate his blood through his tongue.

Pleased for Horner.

A ride like that in the 2013 Vuelta deserves a contract - albeit at 42 probably a short one.

Booo ! AR$E !

If only we could dish out the punishment ?

And you could apply the same reply to Horner.

2015 transfer story : Sagan to Team Alonso

2015 transfer story : Sagan to Team Alonso

Doesn't surprise me at all. Brash new team flashes the cash at smash young superstar...

Let's see if it's for real or not... Sagan sometimes comes over as a bit of a knucklehead, but it would surprise me that he wouldn't think this one over...
There aren't many teams around that would put a full team together only for him.
E.g. The work his team did in Stage 7 of the Tdf 2013 was incredible, they just about rode the whole stage in the front, dropped (of course) all sprinters and delivered Sagan at the finish line. And let's face it... continuing that strategy is what should guarantee him the green jersey for many years to come.

If he would switch teams, chances are high that he'll likely be in a team with a dedicated GC rider, that wouldn't want to sacrifice all the domestiques in a semi-flat stage.

So Little Jack Horner did get a pro contract.

No doubt at a knockdown price but it might be fun seeing if he can replicate his Vuelta form at the Giro.

Strange that they still had room to take on riders (with all those riders being available at the end of last year)... I remember at one point OPQ had too many riders that they were interested in (Anton, De Gendt, Bakelants, Acevedo)

Anyway... now he's with Lampre, Horner might turn out the next Gilberto Simone
(as in twice a winner of a grand tour.... had you going there for a second, didn't I ?)

Does not reflect well on Lampre IMHO.

Maybe they're anticipating Cunego getting 2 years from CONI when the Mantova stuff is finished.
