Who is going where ?
Whilst we still have the Vuelta to look forward to and the Worlds, pro teams must be eyeing up likely candidates for new signings.
Cav to OPQ ?
Nibali to Astana and Roche to Saxo bank so far.
How about Sky swapping Cav for Boonen ? Plus i think they need another GC rider to go with Wiggo, Froome and possibly Uran.
What do you reckon ?????????????

Juan Antonio Flecha to Vacansoleil-DCM

Is Branson actually going to build Virgin Cycling?
I very much doubt he'll be doing anything for next season. Maybe once he's sorted out the rest of his business, like getting his trains back on track
But I can't see it happening. He might put money into a team, but his own team. NAH

Apparently JTL has signed for a World Tour team, now I wonder who that could be
Kiserlovski to RSNT
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/kiserlovski-heads-radioshack-12391913...
Jonathan Tiernan Locke has gone to AG2R Mondiale, signed and sorted. He's always said he preferred France, started on a small French team, and that was why he chose Endura after Rapha, because they race more in france.
Where is your proof to this??
I'm pretty sure he's got a contract sorted with Saxo
Not Nuyens to Garmin pleeeeease
Aftwer going away on training camps with Sky I thought it was pretty much nailed on Sky!
I saw that JTL has signed a pre-contract with Sky not Saxo. Endura are working to join forces with an existing ProConti team next season. Think it is NetApp but could be wrong.
Just because JTL has been on training camps with Sky, doesn't mean anything. I believe Millar, Cummings, Blythe, Fenn and others have all been on training camps with Sky in the past.
I think JTL was away with them before the Olympics as a backup and may yet get a world champs spot with Cav not being there
Anyone know the latest on Cav? OPQ? In an interview yesterday, completely unprompted, he described Brian Holm as "one of my very best friends"...
Looks like Devolder might be heading to RSNT
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/devolder-in-talks-with-radioshack-nissan
Is that before or after he solves world peace, finds a cure for every cancer, builds a worldwide cycle network separate from the road systems and becomes major of the world?
Mehdi Sohrabi.
Badass.

I thought that they moved as one man (apart from in relation to Frank's alleged "preparation"). Can you get TT tandems?
Saxo
He's already signed a letter of intent to join them, but they are keeping transfers quiet until the end of the season. Because they fear riders will be dropped from further races so they do not score UCI points 
Yup, its pretty much a done deal....Your favourite rider to your team
“He will not be with Endura for next year though. He’ll be with a WorldTour team. What I know for a fact is that he has signed a letter of intent of signing with Team Sky.”
This might mean something? Source: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/endura-racing-makes-plans-after-departur...
My favourite rider?
Mehdi Sohrabi
I thought Mehdi-Mclaren Pro Cycling Project was starting up next year?
Launching an assault on every race in the calendar.
I heard different, It was Sohrabi-Subaru.
He's reviving the old Miyata-Subaru team and is going to win Giro, TdF and Vuelta next year
As well, he's going to do the unique triple of classic triples:
Ghent-Wevelgem, Paris-Roubaix and Ronde Van Vlaanderen
Amstel, Fleche and Liege
Clasica San Sebastian, Paris-Tours and Giro di Lombardia
You heard it here first.
Aye, Cav and Boonen on one teams seems like a recipe for trouble given that Cav has previously said he wants more classic wins.
How about Boonen to BMC? They seems to pick up whoever has had a good classics season that year, pay them loads of money then watch them do absolutely nothing. All Boonen needs to guarantee an offer from BMC is to win the World Championships.
Surely what OPQ need more than another sprinter is a serious GC contender? Martin, Leipheimer, the Velits brothers and the rest are not top level, they need someone who'll at least threaten to get into the top 10 at the grand tours.
Yeah, because the Boon wouldn't be content with just doing leadouts.
And Cav needs OMPQS.
Straight swap, Boonen for Cav... sorted.
Tony Martin would be quite good in the SKY.
They definitely need new classics riders, Cancellara?
(no way)
But Hushovd?
Probably not.
Ballan?
Dan Martin?
Both unlikely.
Perhaps the Poz?
Along with Thibaut Pinot and Tejay Van Garderen?
That'd sort the GC side of things out for sure.....not that I don't think Sky already have enough of those(we're already discussing people not getting enough chances).
I've read before that Sky and Thomas both feel he's a better classics rider than Grand Tour condender but you never know, that's what everyone said about Wiggins a few years ago.
Also, if I had a wish list of riders I'd like Sky to sign, Thomas De Gendt would be on there.
Perhaps SKY feel Geraint is the next big project?
