It has been a strange transfer market for strange times. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on wheelings and dealings, with a number of teams facing serious financial difficulties. Transfer activity was effectively put on hold for a while, and even now, as we enter a new year and head towards a delayed 2021 season, there's still business to be done. 

The NTT Pro Cycling team have been saved and will race as Qhubeka Assos in 2021, while the Belgian Wanty team have taken the WorldTour licence of the folding CCC Team and will race at the top level as Intermarché-Wanty Gobert. 

Cyclingnews

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
