Bauke Mollema, a decent performer but unlikely to pull up any trees these days, has been given a 4 year contract at the age of 35 which will take him through to his 40th birthday.
Slightly weird move by Trek

Mason Hollyman, who we know as he was at Kirklees Cycling Academy with son no. 2, has signed for Israel - Premier Tech having moved up from Israel Cycling Academy: https://israelpremiertech.com/climbing-up-the-ranks-mason-hollyman-to-turn-pro-in-2023/

He's done well and we see him out and about occasionally.

Seems odd - his last extension was for 2 years. Maybe the idea is that he'll move into some other role. Or maybe they just want to give him a good crack at finally bagging a giro stage.

Tell him to watch out for creepy old men with bags of Werthers Originals. Israel Premier Tech is full of them,

He is in the race I recorded yesterday and am now watching, Mercan Tour.

Maybe he isn't, I think I was mislead by the commentator!

Tom Dumoulin retiring at the end of 2022.
Thought I'd put it here...doesn't really warrant its own thread ?
Aswell as Valverde,Porte,Nibali...end of a era

 

[Cathryn]

Lots of retirees at the end of the year...

Shame about Tom D who's the only one not retiring for age reasons.

There's a typo @Adam4868 ...they've missed off Froomey!
