Just waiting for MAL to be listed as well - complete rebuild upcoming 
On a more serious note, any of our three leaders on the list would be really great in PCT - but no-one actually would fit our team as well as Gabby
Nah, this should be it in terms of PCT/PT leaders. 3 for 3 different terrains have to be enough for everyone
And regarding Gabby, i had to chase him so long that i'm very reluctant to sell him. While not technically unsellable, the clear intention is for him to stay for the foreseeable future. Any talks would have to start above the price I paid for him last season.

During the last weeks we have finalized the contract negotiations with the riders from our 2020 roster and we are excited that we have found an agreement with 18 of the 19 riders that were previously on permanent contract with our team.  Emils Liepins is the exception as we mutually agreed to let him test the open market to see whether another team agrees with his own evaluation of his market price - a reunion in the future is not ruled out.

Blums asking for less than van Niekerk. Well, that's just...
Also the renewals system clearly flawed when not appreciating a rider with 79FL, 79PRL, great backup stats and 84FIG, not to mention a leadout rider with 76/76SPR/ACC, 75FL and a MASSIVE 82PRL. Congrats on those!

Thanks sotd but dont worry, Lopez made sure to ask for their raise to be added to his own wage threefold ...
Quadsas - i know his wage drop is huge. Seems like he is just grateful to have been part of this team for so long

So many great riders on that team - and so many available ones... Checking budget - checking requirements - picking up phone? We'll see

And so the rivalry ends...it's been a blast to watch the momentum shift over and over again, and I think we need someone unbiased to figure out who ultimately came out on top after all this time (I would certainly vote for Demare! ).
Thanks for the entertainment this duel brought!
I will admit it hurt a bit to see MVS receive his first decline, and while he's definitely less scary now, I wouldn't mind to see him tear up the PCT for another few years.

Will be strange seeing your team without MVS and Skujins for the first time in I don’t even know how long. Very curious to see who you target with the large amount of cap space they will both free up.

fabianski - looking forward to it
redordead - he needs to be protected from all those managers that only want him as a collection piece because of his nationality
cio - looks like that is where we are heading indeed. I enjoyed the rivalry a lot and as you said both of us had plenty of times where we had the upper hand with our hilly sprinter. Bias aside it is close enough to a tie so we might have to continue a nice sporting rivalry on other terrains. Its not like Demare and Van Stayen had endless 1vs1 battles since they seemed to race apart from another surprisingly often
eden - same. Had them since the 2016 season and it will feel super weird to race against them. But their successors are in the team already so it makes sense to entertain trade ideas.
Sotd - you love your training ideas too much to consider my asking prices for them |

Toms Skujins has been the face of the team during the last five seasons. The best Latvian cyclist of all time in the best Latvian team, a classic specialist in a team focussed on the classics - it was the perfect fit between rider and team.
Following the rise of young superstar Miguel Angel Lopez, it would be unfair to keep Toms Skujins as a glorified second option so team and rider agreed to seperate if a team wants to make him a cornerstone of an exciting project. Such an offer came from Tryg - Ritter Sport where he will be the center piece of the new roster. His departure leaves a big hole that will have to be filled by a new star. We wish him and his new team all the best and hope they will be as happy with each other as we were ever since he joined us in 2016. Good luck Toms!

We are proud to announce our first new signing of the season. Rein Taaramäe joins us from Aker - MOT for a fee of 3,000,000. While he is already 34 years old, we dont think he is past his prime yet. He won the Tour de France in 2018, the Vuelta d'Espana in 2019 and the Giro d'Italia and will be our new leader in several stage races this season. We are excited to have added this sort of quality in an area where we have never been as strong and are excited to follow him this season.

We welcome our first loaned in rider of the season: Waersted is mainly a sprinter but will have to fill in on other terrains - where our roster isnt as deep. He is very resistant and can survive hilly parts of stages better than many comparable young sprinters. The 25-year old wasnt on our radar as a potential signing but his home team Gjensidige Pro Cycling Team had some pretty convincing arguments. We are sure that he will learn a lot during the year and look forward to see him in our jersey.

Definitely looking forward to seeing Taaramäe in your team, and what he can do for you. I think he could, and arguably should, score as many points as last season, despite his decline, due to his low reward for his Giro win, but also due to bad planning.
Fingers crossed he can do whatever you expect and hope to see him do! |
