Cyclingnews understands that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Leigh Howard is on the verge of signing with the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:IAM Cycling team for 2016. Howard is currently at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Orica GreenEdge but his contract ends this year.

Although IAM Cycl🐟ing would not officially confirm the news, their director sporti♐f, Rik Verbrugge, did say that a deal was on the verge of completion.

"We're in a transition year so we're focusing on young riders, so ones that can perhaps help Matteo Pelucchi, like Leigh Howard, with the leadout and then some young riders. There probably won't be a signing of a major signing," Verbrugge told Cyclingnews.

Two riders how had been linked with IAM in recent weeks were 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Simon Clarke and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bryan Coquard. Verbrugge ruled them both out.

"We're not confirming anything at the moment. I can tell you that Simon Clarke isn't coming to us. There was some contact but thatඣ's it," ꦆhe said.

"There was a proposal with Bryan but I think he's staying where he is. We will be confirജming riders in the next ꩲweek or so."

IAM Cycling have already confirmed that Vegard Stake Laengen (Team Joker) will join the team for next year. Mathias Frank, Matthias Brändle, Jonas Van Genechten, and Dries 💮Deౠvenyns have all signed one-year contract extensions, although Sylvain Chavanel, Jerome Pineau, Sébastien Reichenbach, and Thomas Degand are set to leave.
