Sources inside the In-n-Out p/b Carrefour team have been murmuring about which riders will be returning. When asked, the team manager released a little list the team has been compiling on who they'd like to keep.

Here it is:

Untouchable (Will be resigned no matter what):

	Jakub Novak
	Phillip Gaimon

Good offer needed (pending resigning:

	Cyril Lemoine
	Yoann Offredo
	Alexendre Aulas
	Robert Sweeting

Up for Transfer (pending resigning):

	Mickael Delage
	Cherif Abdallah
	Jean-Lou Paiani (preferably to a CT team)
	Blaise Sonnery (could be untouchable pending training)
	Romain Hardy

Up for Loan (pending resigning):

Joey Rosskopf (PT loan)

Will not be resigned in all likely hood:

Antoine Matteau

This team is full of higher tier CT talent and seems like they are going to cash in on their CT riders and then move forward with young talent in the PCT

Thanks for keeping a good eye on Daniel Ruiz. Much appreciated. Considering you out bid us on Rosskopf last year, he is guy we could consider taking in on loan. But we will talk more when the right time comes.

Julian Rodas - Transferred to Sancor in 2015

Julian Rodas was one of our key riders during our team's Inaugural season, but was transfered to a new team this season, Sancor, to free up space for Jakub Novak. However, Rodas was very pleased to move to a Southern American team and showed it with some quite good results.

Results w/ us	Results since then
1 Stage (Tour of America)	1 Stage (Tour de San Luis)
3 Stage Podiums (Tour of America, Tour de Beauce)	3 Stage Podiums (3 seperate races)
6 Top 5 Finishes (Tour of America, Tour de Beauce)	8 Top 10 Finishes (7 seperate races)
4th GC (Tour of America)

Remy Di Gregorio - Transferred to Eddie Stobart in 2015

Di Gregorio was brought in after a transfer budget mishap causing us to have to release Juan Murillo from contract. Di Gregorio served as a mountain helper/free rider for Julian Rodas and Phillip Gaimon. Di Gregorio was transfered as his salary was too high for the team to warrant keeping him, so we transfered him to Eddie Stobart to give him a chance at the PCT

Results w/ us	Results since then
1 Stage Podiums (Tour of America)	1 Stage Podiums (Tour of Bulgaria)
3 Top 5 Finishes (Tour of America)	4 Top 20 Finishes (4 seperate races)
11th GC (Tour of America)

Benoit Sinner - Released in 2015

Sinner was signed as our main sprinter in our first season, but when Robert Sweeting broke onto the stage, he was completely uprooted as our lead sprinter. Sinner was a bit of a laughing stock for the team as he was often dropped 50km before the end of pan flat stages. Sinner signed with Pendleton's in the offseason and scored a little in the PT

Results w/ us	Results since then
3 Stage Podiums (Tour de Langkawi)	55 Pro Tour points
4 Top 5 Finishes (Tour de Langkawi, Tour d'Algerie)

I'm not sure we're supposed to publish our goals yet...

After mulling our decisions for a long time, here are is the final list of riders that the team has decided to part ways with for this upcoming season in the PCT

	Antoine Matteau
	Cyril Lemoine

We wish both riders the best of luck in their future endeavors. On the other side, here is the list of riders who rejected our contract extension offers during the renewal season

Robert Sweeting

Being possibly the most successful rider in team history, it is with heavy hearts that we'll see him go, but we wish him the best.

On a happier note, here are the riders we have come to contract extension deals with for this upcoming year

	Jakub Novak	119,000
	Phillip Gaimon	100,000
	Blaise Sonnery	50,000
	Romain Hardy	60,000
	Joey Rosskopf	110,000
	Alexandre Aulas	50,000
	Cherif Abdallah	50,000
	Michael Delage	50,000
	Jean-Lou Paiani	50,000
	Yoann Offredo	50,000

Here are the stats of the team:

With the transfer season rapidly approaching, management has decided it would be best to release a list showing which riders we'd like to keep for this upcoming season and who we think it would be better to part ways with

Starting at the top, the only rider that we think is completely untouchable is Jakub Novak, we would need an absurdly large amount of money to move him, probably along the same lines of money that we paid for him last year (which was about 849k)

Jakub Novak

119,000

Apart from Novak, most of the team is actually availible, but here are the guys whom we'd need a good offer for

	Alexandre Aulas	50,000
	Romain Hardy	60,000

The rest of the team is up for grabs, mostly because we think these riders are better suited for the CT level. Gaimon was a monster for us in our two years at the CT level, and we'd expect a nice amount of money in exchange for him. Blaise Sonnery really failed for us last year, but with his absurdly all-around stats, we don't expect that from him again.

	Phillip Gaimon	100,000
	Blaise Sonnery	50,000

Here are the guys we'd like to see go, but would not be mad to keep them as team-mates this year if we dont get the right offer

	Michael Delage	50,000
	Jean-Lou Paiani	50,000
	Yoann Offredo	50,000

The only rider we truely would like to part ways with is Cherif Abdallah, who we feel would be fantastic at the CT level as a sprinter, but we really do not want him to join our team next year as we want to put that money elsewhere than just a sprinter

Cherif Abdallah

50,000

Finally we get to the only rider we want to loan out, Joey Rosskopf. He needs to be loaned out to a PT team, and we can provide a cover fee.

Joey Rosskopf

50,000

After a long hiatus of race-related updates, the team has announced our goals for this upcoming season as we move into the PCT division

With the team being based in American and France with In-n-Out and Carrefour respectively, we went for American and French races for our goals, as well as a Canadian race to spice it up

Tour of Vancouver (HC) --> Top 10
Corsica International (HC) --> Top 5
Philadelphia International (C1) --> Win
Tour of the Battenkill (HC) --> Top 10
PCT Team Standings --> Top 20

here are the route profiles for each race:
