Team Europcar is searching for a good puncheur, HI 74+ and decent END. The rider will have good opportunites, having a free role most of the time and probably some leader roles through the season.

Edit: We have 2 puncheurs on our radar now, no offers have been made yet.

Team Movistar is searching a young spanish (or portuguese/south american) talent. Only limitation is that he should not expect a leader position but a free rider or super domestique role.

Alright, one more time on this...

Team Garmin-Sharp is looking for a strong cobbles rider to lead our Paris-Roubaix and Ronde van Vlaandern campaigns. He can expect excellent support with the most prominent names beeing Johann Vansummeren, Nick Nuyens and Sebastien Rosseller. We will work out a calenddar that suits the rider best in cooperation with the rider/his manager. We don't care much about nationalizy, though if two riders are equal an american would probably get priority.

Jussi Veikannen has been released by FDJ. Not that any of you can sign him... or care.... We are so bored over here...

I heard someone wanted a puncheur ?

Name: Christian Schröder
Age: 23
Nationality: Germany
Rider type: Puncheur

Short Bio: Son of Movistars' DS Michael Schröder. Was in Cycling since his early childhood. His dream is to win the Ardennes Triple once in his life and to win the "Deutschland Rundfahrt". Unfortunately, he has to improve the reputation of cycling in his home country before he can aim for his second goal. He is a puncheur who has good chances to win in sprints out of a small group. Also with his decent abilities in mountain stages, time trials or recovery he makes a good domestique for Grand Tours or one week stage races. He wants a leadership role and does not mind to go to Continental Division when a good offer comes.

Signed by Team Europcar

Argos-Shimano still looking for a stage racer to lead the team in various WT and Continental one week stage races with a chance of racing a grand tour!

Updated the list of signed riders, let me know if I missed any. Will start adding the new riders now.

Jonas Strømberg, Marouane Shaqif, Fabian Brookes, Jaxton McNutt, Travis Jones all rejected!

What is wrong with them?

Too many points in most cases

Multi talented riders Firmansyah Sinaga and Pietor Furan are still without contract, buy them now.

Totti and Ronaldo both signed to IAM

This is allowed of course, but it's maybe a bit unfortunate you're stuck with one team. Entirely your choice though

Christian Schröder signs with Team Europcar as Ardennes Leader.
More on that follows tomorrow, in the HQ

Europcar is getting an insane team together

the teamwork does it

Team Cofidis is looking for some cobblers and TT riders. A good cobbler can expect to lead in Paris-Roubaix. Any good TT riders can expect to ride the tour or The vuelta

Note of Ollfardh: I edited my riders, would you check them soon so they can receive offers.
