The Cyclingnews guide to rider transfers

The official UCI window for rider transfers is open between August 1-31 and yet again Cyclingnews will have all the news, announcements and rumours as teams work to build their rosters for the 2014 season and beyond.

The future of several major WorldTour teams is uncertain and other teams are ready to swoop to sign their best riders. Teams such as Garmin-Sharp, Astana and Omega Pharma-Quick Step have already confirmed several new signings but more are expected in the next few weeks.

Other teams such as Belkin, BMC and Team Europcar and Cannondale are expected to change their line-ups as they become more international after changes in sponsors, management and possible even country affiliation.

To keep up with all the transfer news, Cyclingnews has put together a summary of all the signings, re-signings, retirements and exits to keep you from getting lost.

We'll be adding updates as the news comes in so be sure to check back to get the latest updates.
