With the Tour and Olympics now in the rear view mirror, it's time to talk about the rider moves for next season. The window officially opens on August 1st but of course the deals have already been done behind the scenes. Some big names on the move - Sagan, Ackermann, Bennett, Almeida, Nibali, Vlasov amongst them. Shakeups for a few teams - Bora seem to be going a bit more GC focused, Ineos are having a clearout and DSM will have their usual drama.

Some moves confirmed or very heavily rumoured:

Sagan and posse to Total Energies

Sam Bennett to Bora

Dennis to Jumbo

Fisher-Black to UAE

Plapp to Ineos

Degenkolb to DSM

UAE will be looking to add more strength to the support crew of Pog, Trek will likely add an over the hill GC pretender (hello G), some riders will be looking for a last payday and a shot to achieve some career targets (Cav!).

Feel free to post any news (rumoured or confirmed) as moves get officially announded in the coming days.
