A new season is upon us, and with that, a new jersey design and name is aswell. Statoil changed their name to Equinor, theirfor, so does the team name. For the 2018 season all of the sponsors have agreed to stay onboard for what we all hope could be a better season. We never got our first win as a team, and that will naturaly be our main goal for the 2018 season. Furthermore, we will be looking to re-sign our key riders and then loan them out for experience. We are now talking about Eiking, Vermulen and Daniel,
As the free agent signing part of the off-season draws ever closer, the team will be looking to improve drasticly. We got caught napping in the first part of the signing period last year, but we hope to improve there aswell.
From the murky banks of the north sea, an idea was born within the slinging fjords and mountains. A cycling team, made up of brave men, all willing to put it on the line for the greater good of the team.
After a horrible start to the team in the 2017 season, with no victories. The team was close to folding, but after several meeting with the sponsors, the team was given a second chance for the 2018 season.

Seems like pink has faced a renaissance in the MG peloton for 2018. Good luck, you have a nice base to build on!

Love the jersey and can't wait to see where your squad goes for next season - you've been building for the future and hopefully you can also take a wee step up the ladder next year!

Yeah, i tried it in Avenir with our youth squad. So that was a transition into the 2018 season for our main squad.

Thank you sir!
I hope so too, but the FA period will be key for us!

Looking forward to what's in store for the rebranded CT Norwegian team - the jersey is super slick!
Hopefully the roster follows suit this year

Seems like a nice set of renewals for you this year. Hopefully you can push for a better 2018 season now that your riders are a bit more mature!

I need a good FA period to make that happen. We need our first win!

Last season wasn't the best for you, but how can you not win in those jerseys? 
Good luck in transfers, I think with a year's experience you can push up the table - or at least win a few races!

Lots of riders renewed! Will be interesting to see who you can target with the remaining space.

Moves, moves and more moves The first offical closing of the free agent marked happend today, and Equinor Pro Cycling can proudly present our newest memeber, Romeo Quicibal. The young Guatamalen spent last season at Isostar - Adriatic, but failed to make an impression. He seeks new life to his carrer, and we seek new life to our campaign after a dissapointing 2017 season. A perfect marrige. Spoiler  Romeo Quicibal| Flat | Mountain | Hill | TT | Stamina | Resistance | Recovery | Cobbles | Sprint | Acceleration | Fighter | Downhill | Prologue | | 78 | 58 | 68 | 57 | 69 | 71 | 67 | 63 | 62 | 66 | 75 | 67 | 61 |
Also today, we could advertise that both Odd Christian Eiking and Gregory Daniel has been loaned out. This is a move that will keep them both happy for the 2018 season, as they both have vocalised the urge to ride bigger races and grow as cyclists.

Eiking will get much needed experience in the PCT division, racing with and against better riders. The details of the deal includes a 40,000 fee in our favour, aswell as the Minions Team will pay 50,000 out of his 140,000 salary. | Last name | First name | Flat | Mountain | Hill | TT | Stamina | Resistance | Recovery | Cobbles | Sprint | Acceleration | Fighter | Downhill | Prologue | | Daniel | Gregory | 71 | 63 | 68 | 72 | 69 | 70 | 67 | 55 | 55 | 66 | 70 | 68 | 71 |
Daniel will also recive experience at the higher level, as he will travel from the cold HQ in Norway to the more sunny enviorment at Xero Racing. Details of the deal includes that the teams split his 75,000 salary in half.

Afoa will be getting experience at the lower level, in hopes of becoming a better rider as he returns to Xero Racing for the 2019 season.

News, news and more news A huge signing for the ever growing Equinor Pro Cycling Team was made tonight, as Sascha Modolo, the former Ferrero - Samruk rider took pen to paper and will ride in Equinor Pink for the 2018 season.
Modolo will bring the top end speed our team has been lacking, and we now have a realistic chance of actually winning a race or even a stage. The signing of Romeo Quicibal was made to make sure Modolo would take his talents north. Now awaits the reminder of the FA period, as Equinor still seeks to improve.
