Kilun and Murphy are with OUCH
November 11, 2008 4:03 PM
Landis and chodroff with OUCH
November 11, 2008 4:07 PM
What about the Livestrong U23 team?
November 11, 2008 4:12 PM
damn, girl, you're on a roll this week.
many much awesomeness.
November 11, 2008 6:50 PM
Why is Stevic Suspended?
November 11, 2008 9:56 PM
I heard Kelly Benefits is folding.
November 12, 2008 8:57 AM
CONI (Italian anti-doping authorities) threw Stevic a lifetime ban for alleged involvement in the Oil for Drugs doping network. He claims he knew nothing about the case and intends to appeal.
Some info and linkage here.
November 12, 2008 9:00 AM
thanks for the info on Kilun, Murphy, Chodroff and Landis (doh I knew that one). they've been added to the list.
I didn't put the Trek-Livestrong U23 or the VMG/Felt U23 teams on the lists as I don't think that either of them are registered in the US (or in Canada). Anonymous, do you know?
KBS folding? that's a new one. Will put that in as a comment from anonymous.
November 12, 2008 9:01 AM
thanks Jen. Yes, Stevic was suspended by Toyota-United once the lifetime ban from CONI was known. Now we'll have to wait for the appeal to go through TAS.
November 12, 2008 9:55 AM
Unless it happened in the last day or two, KBS is not folding. They have signed guys.
Rock looks to be facing some difficulties though with ages and numbers. Can anyone figure out how their roster will work as a continental team?
November 12, 2008 2:18 PM
great entry
November 12, 2008 5:41 PM
Bobby Lea to OUCH last I heard
November 13, 2008 12:54 AM
olson to colavita
November 13, 2008 9:52 AM
yeah, what about Colavita?
November 13, 2008 10:31 AM
Colavita has been very quiet. The Borrajo brothers are back in 2009 and now thanks to anonymous, it seems that Olson is going back.
November 13, 2008 2:26 PM
Dan Holloway is with the VMG squadra
November 13, 2008 3:31 PM
I didn't put Holloway on the list because he is already with VMG/Felt and is staying with the team next year along with Summerhill, Carlsen and Stetina.
November 14, 2008 10:29 AM
Canadian youngster Cody Campbell is riding for Livestrong U23. Also, I have heard from reliable sources that Kelly Benefits continues and has signed former Symmetrics riders Jacob Erker, Zach Bell and Ryan Anderson.
November 14, 2008 12:39 PM
Guy East, Ben King, Ben Bradshaw, and Ryan Baumann to Trek-Livestrong
November 14, 2008 1:00 PM
Taylor Kuphaldt to Livestrong
November 14, 2008 9:48 PM
Does CQ know something we don't about KBS?
http://www.cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/transfers.asp
November 15, 2008 11:02 AM
November 15, 2008 11:09 AM
thanks all.
I wouldn't read anything into the fact that cqranking doesn't have KBS on their list, as they also do not list many other American teams such as DLP Racing, Kenda, Jelly Belly..... heck they just added Colavita once cn had the news that Olson was joining the team
November 16, 2008 7:54 AM
DLP folded, by the way. Don't know about Kenda or JB.
November 16, 2008 1:01 PM
Hey Lyne great post here. I was wondering if you were able to confirm any of these "foldings" of KBS and DLP. Would be a shame if so many team were no longer. It does seem like a lot of teams are taking a longer than usual time to release their rosters. Do you know when official lists get released from USA Cycling?
Mike
November 16, 2008 11:02 PM
DLP Racing confirmed to cyclingnews that they filed their Continental application on Nov 8 - and I seriously doubt that they've folded since then.
As far as KBS, another rider just said that he is moving to that team and there are no problems.
November 18, 2008 8:07 AM
Cheyne Hoag to KBS/Medifast
November 19, 2008 1:06 PM
MIssing riders from the new Land Rover-ORBEA team
Dean Tracy -usa
Josh Bartlett -usa
Roman van Uden -NZL
Logan Hunn -NZL
Carson Miller -USA
November 19, 2008 5:15 PM
Ummmm, weren't those guys already on the team. You'll notice this is a departure/arrival chart...not a who
s staying
November 19, 2008 10:06 PM
Cheyne Hoag will be looking for a job in 2009 since I also heard KBS folded.
November 20, 2008 4:52 PM
perhaps someone should simply ask Jonas Carney if KBS will be around next year
November 21, 2008 7:52 PM
DLP registered with USA Cyling.
Thad Dulin- leaving to amateur team
Owen Nielson - retiered
Boyd Johnson - stays DLP
November 23, 2008 9:09 AM
KBS has not folded. Being I just signed my contract with them for 2009
November 23, 2008 1:15 PM
Jeremy Pych from Bicycle Shack Racing to St. Johns Powerful Medicine. So Pro!
November 23, 2008 2:06 PM
Just a quick comment. Nice site with good updates. For Trek-Livestrong new rider Cody Campbell is Canadian not US and was sole jr rider on Symmetrics last year. With Bewley, Sergent, Campbell, East and of course Phinney that would be an impressive track squad in it own right.
November 24, 2008 7:16 PM
November 23, 2008 9:09 AM
I'm goint to guess this was Scotty Z.
But the US Economy is going to tank in '09 so this will be his last year there.
November 25, 2008 3:52 PM
VeloNews confirms Colavita-Sutter Home roster:
http://velonews.com/article/85394/colavita-re-signs-core-group
Still no word on KBS. Someone should ask USA Cycling if they licensed.
November 26, 2008 1:32 PM
Really like this list. keep it going.
November 28, 2008 7:17 PM
I guess now you can add Amore Vita to the list.
