Hanzen is not available. You'd think i wouldn't have to say that but...

Name: Marouane Shaqif
Nationality: Tunisia
Age: 21
Rider Type: Time Trial/Classics
Short bio: At age 8, Marouane was abandoned by his parents, with nothing but a bike and a bottle of water. For 2 years, he rode his bike around North Africa, receiving gifts of food, drink, and sometimes even money. At age 10, he was taken in by an Algerian family who had moved to his birth country of Tunisia. Over 2 years of nothing but riding, Marouane had developed a deep passion for cycling, and his love for the sport stayed with him. He kept training, and is now ready for the big leagues. After riding so much alone, it is no wonder that Marouane is time-trial expert, but he has also learned to ride all over any type of 'road'.

There's your star sprinter

Name: Fabrizio Harrini
Age: 18
Nationality: Moldovan
Short Bio: Growing up in a flat country where no-one rode their bikes, Fabrizio should be a TT specialist. However, instead of doing what he should've, he practised sprinting instead. Fine enough, as he is now a very talented young rider. More of a lead-out man for now, but in a few years could be a star sprinter. He can beat Cavendish's revs on an exercise bike, but not yet on real ashphalt.

Lol at everyone neglecting Endurance stat. You are making secure that you are quite useless then, guys

I needed to lower a few stats

Not me, says the fool with 80 endurance.

Cycleman, did you just say Matt Goss sprinting to victory? When would thhat ever happen? At the Pub?

This made me laugh

Bonjour tout le monde

We at AG2R are still on the look out for quality riders, particularly any Climbers or Stage racers, and will give special consideration to any French riders. We have a strong squad, yet one in which a burgeoning young rider can make his mark.
If you know of any such young riders, do please let us know, we would be extremely grateful.

Merci beaucoup, and may the wind be ever at your back.

Young French stage-racer Mathieu Favre has signed for Orica - Greenedge.

@Neillster Well, that made me laugh. Favre would've fit in at AG2R pretty good, but at the moment you posted, he signed a contract

Orica-GreenEDGE still on the lookout for a good cobblestone rider to assist or even be assisted by Sebastian Langeveld.

Nightmare, completely missed him!

Fabian Brookes to Bardiani. Huge scoop for the CT team.

Should get on very well, with the good sprint train they already have.

Nicklas Strömberg to Garmin.

On another Note, we're looking for a strong cobblestone rrider to captain our classics campaign.

Sorry Cycleman, Faibian is invalid, over by 1 point

Sorry, Brant is over the limit by 1 point
