Ag2r-La Mondiale

A relatively quiet window for the French team so far, with three riders being brought in to replace the three that have left. The 20-year-old Roubaix Lille Metropole rider Quentin Jauregui has arrived along with Jan Bakelants of Omega Pharma-Quick-Step and Johan Vansummeren of Garmin-Sharp.  Steve Chainel went the other way, however, joining Cofidis, Maxime Bouet leaving for Etixx-Quick-Step and Yauheni Hutarovich going to Bretagne-Seche Environnement.

Astana

The Kazakhstan team are under a lot of pressure. Recent positive drug tests have thrown the team's WorldTour future into jeopardy. Yet behind the scenes, there was still work to be done, and haven't they done it well. Three riders have left, with a total of eight coming in. Potentially one of the best signings so far saw Lars Boom move from Belkin to Astana. The versatile Dutchman should be able to strangthen Astana's challenge in the spring Classics and one week stage races in Belgium and his own country, the Netherlands. Unfortunately, Astana have lost the experienced Janez Brajkovic to UnitedHealthcare on a two year deal. After becoming professional in 2005, Brajkovic has won three stage races, one world title and one national title. Another signing to look out for is the young Colombian Miguel Angel Lopez, the winner of the Tour de l'Avenir. The 20-year-old won a stage and topped both the general and mountains classifications at the race, proving why he is one of the most promising climbers in road cycling.

Belkin

Team Belkin have not only lost Lars Boom, but  Bauke Mollema too. The Dutchman has finished in the top 10 in the past two Tours De France. The capable climber is still only 27, so has a long, and hopefully prosperous career ahead of him. He and Boom join three more riders to leave. The team have managed to replace each of these riders, and add an extra one, in an effort to keep the team running, despite the uncertainty surrounding its future earlier in the year.

BMC Racing

The Swiss team have been extremely impressive this window, seeing three riders leave, and seeing seven come the other way. They have signed some quality riders in 24-year-old Rohan Dennis of Garmin-Sharp, and Alessandro De Marchi and Damiano Caruso of Cannondale. Dennis is one of the best young prospects in cycling at the moment, having won a Commonwealth Games silver medal in the summer. The breakaway specialist, De Marchi won the combativity award in this year's Tour De France, and Caruso being a determined climber. It's shaping up to be a good season of cycling for BMC.

Cannondale (Merging with Garmin-Sharp)

With the team merging with Garmin-Sharp, Cannondale haven't had chance to make any transfers. The rider's out tally piles up to 12, with some of the leading riders moving on. The likes of Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) and Elia Viviani (Team Sky) are among the names involved in the mass exodus at Team Cannondale.

Europcar

Another team with no new arrivals as of yet. However, the French team don't have it as bad as Cannondale, as they only lose four riders.  Davide Malacarne's role as a domestique will be highlighted as he supports Fabio Aru at Astana. Kevin Reza is also departing, as he joins FDJ.fr, which may prove costly for Europcar, looking back on his spectacular riding in the Tour De France earlier this year.

FDJ.fr

French rider Nacer Bouhanni is the most noticable transfer for the French team. The 24-year-old flourished this year, winning three stages at the Giro d'Italia, 2 at the Vuelta A Espana and 1 at Paris-Nice. With Arnaud Demare also on the books at FDJ.fr, Bouhanni was allowed to join fellow French team Cofidis, which should see him win plenty of stages.  Lorrenzo Manzin, Marc Sarreau, Kevin Reza (Europcar), Steve Morabito (BMC Racing) were the four riders brought in for 2015.
