August 1 marked the start of cycling's official transfer window with several high-profile transfers being announced with more sure to come.
Following months of drama, Sam Bennett returns to Bora-Hansgrohe after two years with Deceuninck-QuickStep, much to the bitter chagrin of Belgian team manager Patrick Lefevere.
Peter Sagan leaves Bora-Hansgrohe for Team TotalEnergies, while the German team bring on fresh talent in Jai Hindley and Sergio Higuita.
Elsewhere, Vincenzo Nibali is heading back to Astana along with Colombian climber Miguel Angel Lopez, while Russian climber Aleksandr Vlasov leaves the team for Bora-Hansgrohe.
