Should have been other way around. Sutherland to UAE>

Dan Martin to UAE

Wonder how Dan's move affects Aru, wasn't there plenty of talk of Aru moving to UAE as their new leader?

Trek-Segafredo may see Aru as the ideal Contador replacement. Italian racer for Italian sponsor

Pity it didn't work for Kittel at Quickstep, I'd hoped that would be a great match for both.

Sky have also just signed Colombian Egal Bernal, winner of Tour de l'Avenir this past weekend and also Russian Pavel Sivakov from BMC development team who has won a bunch of u23 races this year, including the Girobio

These are multiple winners and two of the hottest prospects in cycling - welcome to the world of Sky crushing it for a few more years....

Word has it he is being brought in as a 1 day specialist.

BMC have lost far more than they have signed so far

But if Cannondale go belly up I'd say they will take the US riders like Talansky, Dombroski & Phinney

would be great place for Ryan Mullen as they are great with TT riders

Mullen is leaving Cannondale, regardless of the recent 'difficulties' according to something I read last week. Surely Rohan Dennis being in BMC makes that a difficult berth for him? Any word on where else he might be heading? AquaBlue?

I'm not sure where he is going ...but I dont agree re BMC ...its a seperate race the TT ...you can have 2 great TTers in any team...and they can compete against each other as its not detrimental to either if both in the same IT
But even if not in the same race there are alot of races to go around where Mullen could go if Dennis is not there ...plus riding with the best TTer can make you better

BMC have the worlds TTT team and concentrate so much on TT that Mullen would be an ideal fit

Aquablue may not have the guaranteed invites the Mullen may want in the classics...

Saw that. I think its a good move, he will have a good team around him and good staff too....as long as Trek are staying.

I'm not sure how his champions jersey is going to fit in the with the Trek/Segafredo corporate colour scheme. Hopefully he will be allowed to keep the jersey pretty much clear of that sort of clutter..
