Your Colombian talent (obviously not Beltran) might be something for Los Pollos Hermanos, so if he becomes available we might do some business in a couple of days 
Keep track of our adverts when the transfer window opens. I heard through the grapevine, that there might be more riders available

Swisslion Discount Shop ready to open!
With the MG transfer window now opening in less than an hour, the people working in the Swisslion Discount Shop have been stocking the shelves, filling the cash registers and tidying up the product labels.
The shop is ready to open. Even in these testing Covid times the shop is a safe place to enter without a face mask. Everyone is welcome here to buy, sell or loan.

 Goran Antonijevic
Spoiler | FLA | MON | HIL | TTR | STA | RES | REC | COB | SPR | ACC | FTR | DHI | PRL | | 74 | 61 | 64 | 67 | 65 | 71 | 63 | 67 | 68 | 71 | 79 | 72 | 65 |
Antonijevic: I am delighted to be able to make the step up from amateur cycling. I had a great time at VIP Mobile where I met some of the people from Swisslion. I am looking forward to riding with the big boys now!
 Tyron Giogieri
Spoiler | FLA | MON | HIL | TTR | STA | RES | REC | COB | SPR | ACC | FTR | DHI | PRL | | 65 | 78 | 73 | 66 | 71 | 74 | 70 | 60 | 55 | 67 | 67 | 61 | 67 |
Giogieri: A dream move for me personally. Even after a good season last year, I was not expecting to find a place in a PCT team. Even less in a team like Swisslion. We all agree we are a perfect match together. I can't wait for the season to start!

Saber: I thoroughly enjoyed my last 2 year at Phillips. I am happy that an agreement was reached between the teams. I am a leader, I always have been and I look to forward to bringing my skills to this team and this exciting project.
 Yevgeni Nepomnyachsniy
Spoiler | FLA | MON | HIL | TTR | STA | RES | REC | COB | SPR | ACC | FTR | DHI | PRL | | 70 | 76 | 73 | 76 | 73 | 73 | 75 | 51 | 50 | 73 | 79 | 66 | 76 |

Strong improvements for you! Saber should be a fantastic rider to have in your team and Nepom adds another valuable skill set to your roster. Great to see you improving further!

 Georgios Stavrakakis from Festina - OAKA
Spoiler | FLA | MON | HIL | TTR | STA | RES | REC | COB | SPR | ACC | FTR | DHI | PRL | | 69 | 61 | 67 | 68 | 67 | 65 | 63 | 69 | 64 | 67 | 69 | 61 | 70 |
Stavrakakis: I am excited to get my first experience here on loan. I have been told I'll have a chance to do all sorts of races, but my main job will be to help and learn from Lahcen Saber.
Yuriy Natarov from Rakuten Pro Cycling
Spoiler | FLA | MON | HIL | TTR | STA | RES | REC | COB | SPR | ACC | FTR | DHI | PRL | | 62 | 69 | 66 | 64 | 60 | 66 | 71 | 60 | 65 | 65 | 76 | 56 | 63 |
Natarov: This team gives a lot of freedom to riders like myself to go out and attack. So I hope I can help my team by being in many breakaways this season.
 Stepan Kurianov from Gjensidige Pro Cycling Team
Spoiler | FLA | MON | HIL | TTR | STA | RES | REC | COB | SPR | ACC | FTR | DHI | PRL | | 75 | 64 | 64 | 62 | 72 | 72 | 69 | 67 | 70 | 68 | 72 | 69 | 64 |
Kurianov: Riding on the flat is what I do best. So if the team asks me too pull in the peloton, that's what I am going to do. I also hope to get involved in breakaway opportunities.
 Gabriel Marin from Gjensidige Pro Cycling Team
Spoiler | FLA | MON | HIL | TTR | STA | RES | REC | COB | SPR | ACC | FTR | DHI | PRL | | 73 | 57 | 65 | 65 | 72 | 73 | 75 | 66 | 76 | 76 | 63 | 66 | 69 |
Marin: I hope to complete my development here at Swisslion. My job will be to work in the final kilometres of the race, to bring my lead sprinter to the best position.

Yes, I am very happy to secure Saber. I feel he will be able to cover a variety of races for us and Nepom hopefully gives another dimension in how we plan our season and is another valuable scorer.
I think we need to improve, because PCT seems like it's going to be stronger than last year

Thanks, you know Lahcen way better than I do, so hopefully he does really well
Nepom is also nice and I hope we have one or two transfer moves left in us

Siric: I am absolutely delighted to join Swisslion, a perfect destination for me. I hope to learn a lot from the more experienced riders on the team, as this is my first venture into road cycling. I hope all my MTB experiences can come to the fore.

Always going to keep an eye on Gilanipoor after his Vuelta a Colombia EPIC 80KM SOLO victory for us which I have never and will never shut up about, a very good mountains domestique and hope he does really well for you

Plenty of choices indeed. I think we'll have a lot of fun with the Bosnian Bruiser

Domestique?! Heck no!
We looking at Gilanipoor to do a 100 km solo win this time
