And Scott already has a WT team sponsorship deal on which they have millions invested. Seriously doubt they would be interested in another similar investment when the owner of the team has just purchased a majority (full?) stake on another major cycling brand.
Ineos just announced a major restructuring of the team. No mention of the previous DSs but OTOH no mention of MTB or CX either. No idea where their aim actually is.
I hadn’t heard about his wife. How utterly heartbreaking.
Well, it seems that the deal is off… 'He stays at Ineos' - Tom Pidcock's transfer to Q36.5 is off (at least for now) | Cyclingnews
They were just playing with us 
Contract negotiations semi played (not really) in the media. We only see a small part of it.
This seems like a fairly miserable outcome for all involved. Pidcock is clearly not happy with Ineos, and given that Ineos were prepared to pay part of his salary at another team just to be rid of him it seemed like the feeling was mutual. Ineos in general feels like a sinking, or at least rudderless, ship; tons of their top talent have left, and have said fairly unflattering things about the team after doing so.
Froome and Sagan were a pre-retirement green pasture moves to mostly sit back and relax with possible opportunity to shine one last time if the stars align
maybe his “asthma” got cured finally and he finds that he can’t compete without it? 
Alan Hatherly, MTB World Champ, now on a Pidcock program and switches bike sponsors from Cannondale to Giant as a result.
Finally, no more yellow jerseys for Jumbo Visma. Unless they earn it 
That is just for the Grand Tours and only if there is a conflict with the Leader’s Jerseys.
So Visma will still be in yellow for most of the races…but switch to an alternate design for the Tour (same as today).
EF will be in the same position as they always have been, just like Visma.
But a lot of teams may find themselves having to change their jerseys for the Giro, for example, since blue trade team jerseys may cause confusion with the climbers blue jersey.
ahh 
And UAE won’t be able to use white?
I am kind of excited for this. I usually enjoy the special edition GT jerseys EF and Jumbo do. I would love to see what UAE comes up with for the GTs.
Actual rule below. Teams can’t have jerseys that look like classification jerseys for the GTs, but also smaller stage races can’t have classification jerseys that look like team kits. So teams will need to change their jerseys if they look like any Tour leader’s jerseys (for example), but also the Paris-Nice leader’s jersey would need to be designed to avoid looking too much like the Visma kit.
This being the UCI there’s no clarity on what “sufficiently distinct” means…
In theory, no…but if you read the article above, you’ll al;so see that UAW is adding some back to their jersey design this year. They feel that will be enough. Whether that will be a significant enough difference for the UCI remains to be seen.
Thankfully, the UCI is very consistent in the enforcement of their rules, so I am sure this will be handled clearly, consistently and promptly.
So it seems like Astana will rise Chines Carbon Tech bikes next season.
With Decathlon and now Chinese Manufacturer in the pro peloton I wonder how that will shake up bike sales even further for the te more traditional brands…
Just about everything is going to get more expensive. People here should brace for the worst.
As @lokerola nited, everything is about to get more expensive if the incoming administration follows through on what they campaigned on.
In regards to bikes specifically, many tariffs were already put in place during his first administration. As a result, many products shifted products back to Taiwan.
I would have to go find the HTS code for bike frames, but my supposition is that yes, you have to pay tariffs. If they aren’t in place already, they will be soon in all likelihood.
Has anyone seen a schedule of who will stream races in the US in 2025? I’m guessing NBC keeps the Tour and a few things, while Max keeps most of the rest of the season. I’m debating getting Max with their black Friday deal.
