Liggett to the History Channel - Confirmed.

 

[Chromatic]

Sagan to Tinko Saxoff - confirmed.

My wife calls them Sexy Tinkerbell, just thought I'd share that with you all. Anyway, as you were.

I was on a campsite on my pad when I first saw it and very nearly tried to swat it, thinking a wee beastie had crawled on.

I just had a real bug on the screen and ignored it thinking it was Monty's avatar.

 

[tug benson]

EBH to leave sky

EBH to leave sky

Yes I just read that via some twitter link, not entirely sure where he's off to yet, will need to re-read it, it was a translation from Norge.

' "It is important to find a team I think I can get [my own] opportunities and to try for my own chances," he said...'

From the article he's not sure where he's off to either, which might be a high risk strategy.

 

[Strathlubnaig]

Smithy will take him on at MTN if all else fails.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

EBH to leave sky

Good move. Even without a team to go to. A few more at SKY should jump if they can, and get their careers back on track (not necessarily on the track tho )

 

[thom]

EBH to Tinkoff perhaps ?

 

[rich p]

EBH to Tinkoff perhaps ?

Swap for Nico maybe

 

[laurence]

good for EBH.

anyone else incredibly sceptical that team Alonso will get on track?

Interesting about Sagan, I heard the rumours but didn't think it would happen. Tinkov's got serious money. A strong presence in the classics and a genuine prospect for a green and yellow at the tour, the first since Zabel and Ullrich. That's a strong team. It will be interesting how the other teams fair in the transfer market. From a British perspective how will Sky respond given their frailties have been exposed and Froome will have to rebuild and bounce back from the difficulties of this season.

I read a rumour only today that mentioned a possible move for Froome to Saxo Tinkoff as well!! Could end up with another team Sky scenario with two Grand Tour GC contenders in the same team though, so not sure how much truth is in the rumour.
