After a fairly average year for formerly Argos-Shimano, the main sponsor now changes hands, and so does team and rider focus...
Changes are happening, watch this space...

Team Leaders & 2014 Preview
Kangert joins the team as out and out general classification leader. The man supporting Nibali last year will now be able to ride for himself. Swapped for Degenkolb, Tanel will be leading the team's Giro d'Italia challenge.
The Canadian GC rider once again strengthens are challenge in the mountains. Draft pick Adam Yates was used in exchange for him and the Kreder brothers. He'll lead the team in hilly classics and the  Vuelta.
French cobble star Peter Pal will lead the team through France and Belgium in the spring months. He will be aiming for Paris-Roubaix glory.
Rider Hub
The young talented Frenchman is another general classification hope in the future. You'll see him in the summer competing at the Tour de France.
Rider Hub
The super talented 20 year old sprinter will be looking to fill the hole left by the departures of Kittel, Degenkolb and Mezgec. He'll obviously be targetting every flat stage he is entered into. It is still undecided what grand tour we will see him at, most likely the Vuelta a Espana.
Ten Dam joins from Belkin, he will feature in a grand tour and also 1 week stage races. Tom Dumoulin is a strong all-rounder who will be able to take charge in the less mountainous races.

The Giant-Shimano management are happy to announce that the team's squad is now completed for the season ahead with the signing of free agent Thomas Dekker. A experienced rider who will strengthen the teams overall quality. This means that we will not be partaking in anymore transfer activity before the start of the season and will not be listening to any offers. You can take a look at our transfer activity by clicking [url=viewthread.php]here.[/url]

A lot of transfers and a huge focus shift. Losing your 2 pointscorers might be problem though.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Must say I quite like your team. Seems like a very sympathetic and versatile squad, and I think you should be able to do quite well this season.

Mr. Zoltan
As much as we would like to meet those schedules for Peter Pal and Pierre da la Montagne, unfortunately its not viable to obtain nine CT wildcards for the first season part. Not only that we also have to look at the best interests of the other leaders of our squad and team goals.
I hope we can come to a comprise sooner than later.
