After Oleg Tinkov announced he wouldn’t be making any major singing this season, Adam Blythe of Orica-Greenedge looks set to be the biggest arrival if he joins.

“We’ve not signed anyone prominent but we should have a few finalised in the next week, one of which is Adam but there’s nothing completed yet,’ general manager Stefano Feltrin told Cyclingnews.

Tinkoff-Saxo have 14 riders out of contract this year but Chris Juul-Jensen has gone the other way from Blythe, joining Orica for 2016. Feltrin confirmed the team is focusing on renewing with current riders this week.

“We’re renewing riders this week. We’ve just finished the Tour and we’re reviewing riders with a really thorough analysis. We also tested twelve U23 riders, some of whom are now stagiaires with the team. That’s three guys and we’ll see if they can find a place with us for next year.”

“We have 14 riders out of contract at the moment and potentially we’d like to keep them all. The only one who has come to us and said they wanted to do something different is Jensen.”

Feltrin also spoke about the interest the team has in signing Mark Cavendish but he says it would be a very expensive signing for the team to make.

“We’ve shown some interest in Mark but to have him you’d need to have a team and system around him. We’re interested but we need to see what’s possible,” Feltrin told Cyclingnews.

“We’ve not gone too much into it, and it’s all been preliminary discussions. Of course Oleg Tinkov could afford him but with the team’s current budget we’d have to restructure it and have other sponsorship. We need to find other ways of revenues because of the current system within cycling. Each year the budgets grow but how long can that last?”
