Nice. First Cunego, now also Contador with a signature. Let them have another chance for a season.
And Anton.  |

Ahh Contador. A guy who should have went home a few years ago. Utter trash last year. If he's somehow better this year I might jump out a window.

Mre bidding on several cool Spanish rider i had plans to bid on this transfers, but other plans got in the way

@BBL Well, that's your fault for not letting him go home with a new Spanish team  Then he was not motivated to race for you

Westling will be interesting to see in action again. Had him as main sprinter my first two seasons. In total he sprinted once, but he won that sprint bagging us our Himmerland Rundt win goal

If he didn't want to ride, he shouldn't have signed.

And here was me thinking that the PT managers would use the amateur FA process to show up the CT managers draft selections. But no, instead they are ignoring all the gold lying around right in front of them! I thought these guys would be ferreting deep into the DB like a dog hunting after truffles! Instead, cycling relics are being exhumed from the grave. SHAME!

There are certainly some good talents still around, yes. But you do know, that there's some restrictions and also some regional focus thingys  made a pretty long list of possible targets and it would have been fun to make a 15 men roster out of it - obviously with too many talents to be competitive. Clearly, there's also some cool maxed riders not being picked up, but wouldn't count them as "gold in the grave"

I'll sign that from tsmoha. Regional talents and some old faces have been my priority, as I guess it is for most.

With limited amount of racedays we also have to consider which races to ride... If you don't have any flat races no need for a sprinter, no cobbled races don't sign a cobbler etc...
Some very strong allrounders are out there. If my focus was remotely different in terms of racedays I would have picked atleast 4 different riders. Riders who are very high on my list atm, but where I'm not confident that they will get anything from their talent due to racedays not matching well enough.
