Rumors keep circulating: "Cavagna leaves Movistar, Moscon becomes Roglic's helper"

The transfer carousel of 2024
is still working overtime, but the rumors continue vigorously for now. For example, Rémi Cavagna's one-year adventure with Movistar is already over, and Gianni Mosconis is also leaving his current team, Soudal Quick-Step.
First, that French time trialist quit Soudal Quick-Step last year after seven years with Patrick Lefevere's team. The time trialist moved to Spanish Movistar before 2024, where he had a challenging year. His best result? A fourth place at the French time trial championships. On the occasion of that championship, he gave an all-important interview to l'Équipe. In it, he explained why it was all so difficult.
"The most difficult thing is the language barrier," began the then 28-year-old Cavagna. "I have improved my Spanish, but I get stuck when I want to express myself. The Spaniards here are always together; all communication via earphones is in Spanish. That makes it difficult during the challenging moments in the race." Partly as a result, the Frenchman saw his performance only diminish. "I came here to improve myself, to become an even better time trialist, but I broke down in a few months. A 50th place in the Renewi Tour is just not my level," it sounded at the time.
According to AS,
despite Cavagna still having a contract through 2026, the Movistar era of the now 29-year-old time trialist is coming to an early end. The language barrier has been such a problem for the Frenchman that, according to the Spanish medium, he looks destined to ride for Groupama-FDJ next year. The French team would have the best papers to take over Cavagna's services.

Moscon, like Cavagna, also appears to be moving to another team in 2025
Gianni Moscon is also leaving his current formation after one year
Moscon also seems to be making a transfer after a one-year stay. After two years with Astana, the Italian arrived at Lefevere's formation last year. Before that, the now 30-year-old rider was part of Team Sky for six years, later becoming INEOS. This year, he was cycling quite anonymously in the colors of Soudal Quick-Step, where he helped Remco Evenepoel in the Tour de France. He looks set to perform that service for Primoz Roglic in 2025.
Indeed, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Moscon will switch to Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe. Ciro Scognamiglio, journalist for the Italian newspaper, reported this on his X-account. "Gianni Moscon will leave Soudal Quick-Step at the end of 2024, and sources have confirmed that he will join Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe next year. The deal is done; only the official announcement is still missing," it read.

- Van Aert is really handsome. He can influence me all day! Ditto for Philipsen. Why do you think many of us love cycling?: to see heroic attempts at climbing mountains at high altitudes or to watch speedsters sprint for the finish line or to watch a human being ride at break neck speed down a tricky descent? No, it's all about their lean physiques and muscular legs. (apologies for objectifying these dedicated and amazing athletes).BarwonHeadsUp25-10-2024
- It is unfortunate that the author can't feel the joy that Pogacar brings to the sport and his fans who are legion and I for one feel lucky to have watched such a memorable performance and historic season From the Strada until yesterday with multiple wins in stages in both tours and beyond dominance in the World's. He is proud to wear the Rainbow stripes, shows his leadership to protect his fellows and is as courteous and sportsman-like as the sport allows. He goes early to not have to respond to each attack as all the rest would make him do it. Any racer who could would do the same. Don't "grow tired" of greatness as it is always fleeting.ccrider13-10-2024
- What load of rubbish. Pog is likely a once in a generation cyclist, the like of which hasn't been seen since 'the Cannibal '. How many people were complaining that Merckx was making racing predictable? I remember this year's World RR as one of the most exciting I've watched. Mainly BECAUSE Pog was the favourite and launched what everyone thought (Pog included) was a suicidal attack with 80km to go. For the next 2 hours, I was on the edge of my seat thinking "this is too much, even for Pog". Maybe Zonnefeld prefers the snooze-fest that is a bunch sprint? Like most people I know, I can't watch two hours of the bunch riding very fast... I wait for the final 5km and watch just the sprint. In any event, most races are won from a sprint or lone break. What difference does it make who makes the lone break? Ultimately, the other contenders will have to figure out a way to beat Pog. Even if that means collaboration between teams. It's going to be an exciting few seasons, until the next Pog arrives on the scene. If this is boring, heaven knows what exciting looks like!Michael513-10-2024
- This is not a gravel race. UCI fail, from the surface they are on to team tactics. In what country was the first "gravel race" in what country is the most popular gravel race? Go with the race model that created the discipline.
Barnes127411-10-2024 - And don't forget he has now won 4 of the big 10 races (Grand tours, Monuments and WC/OG) in one year with a chance to make that 5. (5 has only been done once before)Joostmehrtens05-10-2024
