I've also heard that Maciej Bodnar is moving to Bora-Hansgrohe* with Sagan as well. Anyone know if this has been confirmed yet? Bodnar is to Sagan what Eisel is to Cav, so it would make sense.
*kitchen and bathroom fittings - to complement the cooker extractor fans.
They're going to have a good line-up next season. Emanuel Buchmann, Sam Bennett and Patrick Konrad are all very promising. They've also got the brilliantly named young sprinter/classics rider Phil Bauhaus who could be interesting.
Doh! I miscounted. There are 18 teams this year, so IAM and Tinkoff leaving and Bora stepping up would add up perfectly.
Maybe it's Etixx who are leaving at the end of 2017. That would be a terrible shame. I know Orica were having trouble finding a new title sponsor after 2017 but I don't know if BikeExchange coming on board has resolved that.
The other interesting rumour is the possibility of more British races joining the World Tour calendar.

Boo end announced as re-signing for a year. Same article in Cycking news says Etixx not offering contracts beyond 2017. Think cycling podcast had an interview with le fevre where he said it's as far as he do. See himself going, and would like to see life away from bikes, of something along those lines.

Boonen re-signed for another year.
Le Fevre has said contracts only going until end of 2017 until he decides what he wants to do, cycling or life.
Aptly named extractor fans, Bora.
