Vaughters hints Urán will join Cannondale-Garmin for 2016
Rigoberto Urán (Etixx-QuickStep) is expected to join the Cannondale-Garmin team for 2016 after a strong hint via Twitter from team manager Jonathan Vaughters.
The Colombian Grand Tour rider has been linked to both Team Sky and Cannondale-Garmin in recent months but seems set to join the US-registered team after Dan Martin left for Etixx-QuickStep and Ryder Hesjedal confirmed he will ride for Trek Factory Racing next year. Urán finished second in both the 2013 and 2014 editions of the Giro d’Italia but struggled with illness this season and was off the pace in the Tour de France.

Vaughters tweeted: “Riddle: what will be green in 2016, has a long flowing mane, and two of the same last name? Answer tomorrow.”
The Cannondale-Garmin team is expected to confirm Urán’s arrival on Monday and the move would follow the recent signing of Pierre Rolland from Europcar.
Other riders heading to Cannondale-Garmin in 2016 include Dutch sprinter Wouter Wippert (from Drapac), Canadian Mike Woods (Optum-Kelly Benefits), Paddy Bevin (Avanti) and Ireland’s Ryan Mullen (An Post-Chain Reaction).
