The cyclomarket is not yet closed definitively but the most important hits in 2022 are now a done deal. So Fantacycling begins today a three-stage mini-journey dedicated to the main movements that have seen, in particular, some second-rate teams compared to the giants such as the Deceuninck Quick Step (which from next year will be called Quick Step Alpha Vinyl ).

Waiting to know in detail the new evaluations of each individual rider for our game, let's find out the main market news and who, in our opinion, has made the biggest changes for the season that will start in January with the first races and with the World Tour in mid-February.

Bora-hansgrohe : it is one of the teams that has changed the most, both in entry and in exit. After the farewell of Peter Sagan and Pascal Ackermann , runners for all terrains have arrived. The sprints are covered by Sam Bennett, looking for redemption after a bad 2021, and Danny Van Poppel who is exalted in the Northern races. For the stage races, here are Sergio Higuita , Alexander Vlasov and Jay Hindley plus a series of great bicycle workers such as Marco Haller from Bahrain Victorius and Ryan Mullen from Trek Segafredo. Market vote: 7.5 .

Astana Qazaqstan Team : another formation that has changed a lot. The return of Vincenzo Nibali and Miguel Angel Lopez are two consolidated realities, even if it will be necessary to deal with the identity card of the former and the temper tantrums of the latter. The team appears more competitive with the additions of David De La Cruz , Valerio Conti and J oe Dombrowski from UAE Emirates , Gianni Moscon , Sebastian Henao and Leonardo Basso from Ineos . In addition to Vlasov , the farewells of the Izagirre brothers ( Ion at Cofidis and Gorka at Movistar ), Luis Leon Sanchez at Bahrain, Jacob Fulgslang at Israel and Alex Aranburu , also at Movistar , must be recorded. Greetings also from our Matteo Sobrero , who got married with the Bike Exchange . Market vote: 7.5 .

UAE Emirates : the team needed to reinforce the team around Tadej Pogacar . So Joao Almeida arrived, who will be captain in the Giro d'Italia , Marc Soler from Movistar and George Bennett from Jumbo Visma . The choice of having at least five good fast wheels to date is surprising: in addition to Fernando Gaviria and Juan Sebastian Molano , Alvaro Hodeg from Deceuninck and Pascal Ackermann from Bora also arrived. To them is added the confirmed Matteo Trentin . The only weighty goodbye is Alexander Kristoff who is married to Intermarchè . Market vote: 7 .
