Transfers 2016

MLP Team Bergstraße becomes Team Basso Bikes but will be an Elite team.
First signing is Marco König (from Leopard).
Some more German riders going back to Elite ranks :
FLIESSGARTEN Andreas (Kuota-Lotto)
GEBAUER Tim (Team Stuttgart)
STARKER Sascha (Team Heizomat)

EPM - Tigo - Une - Area Metropolitana

The team website gives the names of 18 riders for 2016: 12 Stay and 6 In. See here

Last year the team had 23 riders under contract of which, as per the rules, only 16 were registered with the UCI for the Continental Team. Therefore there are five riders listed as “Stay” although they were in 2015 not in the UCI and CQ rosters:
ALVAREZ PANIAGUA Oscar Mauricio
RIOS QUINTANA Kevin Daniel
GARCIA CASTAÑEDA Mateo (COL19960920)
MEDINA MARTINEZ Ivan Danilo (COL19951006)
GONZALEZ CASTILLO Roberto Carlos (COL19940521)

Two riders shown by CQ as “In” for 2016 are not (yet?) in the list:
CHALAPUD GOMEZ Robinson Eduardo
RAMIREZ CHACON Brayan Stiven

Question remains: who of the 18 will be amongst the lucky 16 that can participate in the UCI races in 2016…

Just found this old twitter message from Champion Systems - Stan's no tubes :

ChampSys - NoTubes ‏@csnotubes 15 oct.

It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce that Champion System Stans NoTubes will not be returning in 2016.

So one more team to stop.

Satalyst - Verve (ex-Navitas) should be under Australian instead of American flag.
