Looks like Michael Matthews is heading to Giant-Alpecin next season, whilst Degenkolb goes to Trek-Segafredo. Is it just me, or does Matthews seem an unusual choice for Giant-Alpecin? He's a sprinter who does well in hilly stage races, so surely his goals will clash with those of Dumoulin and Barguil, who'll want GC support in the same races?
I can't believe EQS haven't gone for Degenkolb, he's a tailor made replacement for Boonen.
New sponsors in Segafredo and CA Technologies, plus they'll be saving €3m per year on Cancellara's salary at the end of the season. I read somewhere they have just 6 riders under contract next season, so they can afford to make wholesale changes.
