"I have a new team, it will be announced soon" - Kaden Groves confirms imminent departure from Alpecin-Deceuninck
CyclingMonday, 19 August 2024 at 14:50
Kaden Groves starred on stage 2 of the 2024 Vuelta a Espana, taking his 5th stage win at the Spanish Grand Tour over the last three years and moving into the Green Jersey that he won in 2023, as a result. Ahead on stage 3 however, the Australian dropped a bombshell.
Speaking in a pre-stage interview with Het Nieuwsblad, Groves announced that the rumours of his imminent departure from Alpecin-Deceuninck are indeed true. “It feels really good to ride for this team, but I already signed a contract for next year,” the sprinter admits. “So I have a new team, it will be announced soon.”
The long rumoured suitors of Groves have reportedly been Astana Qazaqstan Team, who are searching for a replacement to the retiring Mark Cavendish. On stage 3 of the Vuelta a Espana, Groves will get another chance to add more success to his palmares before he and Alpecin-Deceuninck part ways.

- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024

- A good analogy is germane; a bad analogy isn't. You could say the strength of an analogy can be judged by its germaneness. I thought the bank account analogy was rather germane indeed!mikebeast16-11-2024
