The cycling transfer window may not be able to match the pomp and circumstance of Jim White and his yellow tie, but it certainly keeps us entertained throughout August.
Rumours become truth, big names shift around and we all begin to imagine the riders in their new kit.
Big names such as Nairo Quintana (Movistar) and Marcel Kittel (Quick-Step Floors) have been linked with moves whilst the like of Alexander Kristoff (Katusha-Alpecin) and Warren Barguil (Team Sunweb) have already found new homes.
At this time of year, the elder statesman of the peloton also begin to announce their retirements. Household names Thomas Voeckler (Direct Energie) and Haimar Zubeldia (Trek-Segafredo) will hang up their wheels at the end of the season whilst we already waved goodbye to Tom Boonen (Quck-Step Floors) earlier this season.
