Haha there you go, in that case it looks like a PCT squad to me, and you will probably promote BBL.
Haha I was a bit confused for a second!

My team is almost complete. Only 2 stagiare to confirm the signing and then I'm done for the year and will post my roster in here. I think it's quite strong but I guess we will wait and see

Yeah missing the mountains isn't really a bad idea, though Slagter and Ablenado have potential to score some points there. Massive hill department; Rui Costa, Bilbao and Kump too have potential to score damn high. lots of fresh blood at Hugo Boss definitely, we'll make it exciting to follow. Vamos Bilbao!
Ablenado will always get dominated by someone way stronger, no matter where he goes, but some minor points here and there would be nice. Slagter on the other hand, could really 'excel' in some hilly races including a mt stage, if he is anywhere close to as good as Valverde in HC races last year, I'd be thrilled! Yeah lot of changes, basically just kept a few key riders from last year and replaced the rest. Slagter, Ablenado, Salas, Landa and Mudarra all on great wages, so really fun to build a team around those

@SotD
I`m not 100% into PT since I never been there myself
But Leicusnier maxed at that age, future looks good there and for now Spilak is awesome.
@dev4ever
As me you dont have that super mountain rider but that could be wise and I´m sure you will score a lot with that depth in hills and with that sprint quality that Kump has.
@fintas
Looking good with 80 and + stats in mountain, hills, tt and sprint thats way more then I can brag about. Will be interesting to see if Kupfernagel can be as good as last year.

Pretty happy with the look of my team, we didn't get the 2nd team leader to help us get points, but we were able to get the building blocks for the future with Beltran and Chaves who are both yet to max out. A handful of breakaway potential will be our second source of points this season. Obviously the key will be on Danny to get us enough points to avoid relegation.

Your 3 leaders are great.
In especially next year when maxed and all on good age. |

After having heard several managers panic in terms of lacking a cobbler, I was thrilled to see Nejc Kosic signing on a 50K wage this afternoon. 73COB right now and making at 77COB, and of course - Slovenian.
This concludes our transfers unless some one offers a decent sum for Alexis Gougeard or Maxime Bouet whom could both be for sale - both are on 50K wages...

If you sell Bouet for a profit, I will hunt you down |

Hehe, I have had offers significantly higher than what I paid already

Thought I'd post the Eritel squad as it stands, with only a few stagiares left to come in.
The great thing is that it is going to be the MG's first entirely African team, completing the shift away from dominating the British Isles market.
Impey should be a really useful signing for the team, while Craven can team up with Teklehaimanot to somewhat replace the role of Bibby. Debesay as a nice all round FA signing, while also going for a new round of Level 1 talents following the maxing out of quite a few riders over the last 2 seasons.
14 nationalities in total so far, and the stagiares can add to that - need to make sure I have a Kenyan on board to annoy Froomedog in his NC after all
Should be a fun season to follow, regardless of how they perform.

And with Conor Dunne, our transfer season most likely concludes.
His flat stat worries me a little bit, but he'll be a very versatile domestique, with the potential to go 74mo or 76hil or 74cob, depending on what we need in the future.
We stand at 3k balance and 2k salary cap now, so don't expect me to consider any PM offers you may still make!

You should definately spend some of that cash in the Team I-Gen - Festina garagesale

The 3k already includes valuable training, of course. That's just not negotiable.

And my transfers are done as well. Only brought in 3 riders. Pretty good wage for Boswell, but I think Gerts was really overpriced at 270k. I even had to make my first sacking in the history of the ManGame to get him.

Yeah I really wanted Gerts, but ended up with a few different riders instead.
The last few hours of the Man Game have been some of the most stressful for me since I started playing this game. I am finally back under the wage cap without sacking anyone, which I'm very pleased about.

Yeah, I figured. But I wasn't really going to let him go pretty much no matter what. I was ready to put one of my 100k riders up for sale in case you would have increased my 270k bid.
Glad to hear you didn't have to sack anybody

A confounding transfers related question!
With less than 48 hours to go now, any FA bids opened will go to the 'auction' style closing system if I understand correctly. If you wanted to purchase a rider and then loan them out is this now possible. How would you do it technically - list the loan thread as per usual in the expectation of signing the rider?
Thanks!

Tough one. My gut says that you cannot in fact loan the rider out, but I'm sure either SN or roturn could rule on that one.
