Definitely a steal for minimum wage imho! Good spot - you'll have a nice competitive team on many terrains by the looks of it

I don't know why I thought Bonnamour was already too high, when I looked for him.
But, hey, at least, there is some riders for which we don't have to fight 
Good luck for the next days! |

The magnificent seven
As the day slowly runa out, we can present another three signings, bringing our total to seven riders on our roster.
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | OVR | Age |  | Clement Russo | 73 | 65 | 73 | 65 | 73 | 73 | 76 | 68 | 76 | 78 | 66 | 64 | 65 | 74,8 | 27 |  | Deins Kanepejs | 70 | 67 | 77 | 69 | 72 | 71 | 70 | 55 | 62 | 71 | 68 | 65 | 69 | 73,61 | 27 |  | Martin Laas | 67 | 74 | 76 | 62 | 68 | 73 | 73 | 55 | 67 | 76 | 68 | 57 | 62 | 74,92 | 29 |
Russo is another fast guy, who in addition handles himself pretty well on the hills. He will joining on a 75k wage.
Laas and Kanepejs will be joining on a double transfer from Team Popo4ever for a fee of 400k. Both of them likes to ride on hills, but Laas will also be an important part of our mountains team. |

And that makes ten
A further three signings can be announced, bringing our total to ten riders.
| Rudy Barbier | 75 | 50 | 67 | 56 | 72 | 71 | 76 | 68 | 77 | 79 | 65 | 64 | 60 | 74,81 | 30 | | Tanel Kangert | 71 | 71 | 73 | 73 | 70 | 69 | 66 | 52 | 58 | 66 | 69 | 60 | 72 | 71,33 | 35 | | Markus Pajur | 66 | 58 | 65 | 61 | 63 | 67 | 62 | 63 | 65 | 67 | 58 | 61 | 60 | 66,24 | 22 |
Barbier is another fast guy, who will hopefully bring good results. He joins for 85k wage.
Kangert is an Estonian legend, so naturally he needed to join us, even though he is past his best.
Pajur is a talent from Estonia. Not the brightest, but we will try to nurse him into a useful rider. Both Estonians are on minimum wages. |

How bou dat?
We have managed to secure our lead sprinter. On a whopping 110k wage, we welcome Thomas Boudat!
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | OVR | Age | | Thomas Boudat | 73 | 51 | 68 | 62 | 71 | 74 | 78 | 58 | 79 | 78 | 62 | 66 | 78 | 75,3 | 28 |

I don't like that signing 
Congrats on getting him; would have gone for him again, but it didn't make any sense with all those French teams incoming. He'll definitely do a good job in CT, but beware of the next renewals

I have tried to read up on renewals, but I am not sure I totally understand. Either way, he will have at least one year with us, and hopefully score many points. |

A good start! Especially Bonnamour could be a breakaway god.
I'm rooting for you to rise up the ranks in time to have a serious shot at the golden Estonian generation coming up with Mihkels, (Romet) Pajur and Ragilo.

Boudat is great value at 110k wage, should be perfect for you
You do have a lot of sprinters though, interesting to see how that works for you.

Yeah, I hope to win many stages, and I feel that sprinters are more likely to win against better riders than climbers or punchers, so I will see if that pays off. |

Martin Laas in CT, that's what I like  one of my all time favourite riders in an Eesti team, you gotta love it. Developed at Isostar when we still had the Lime Lounge from Pärnu as a sponsor, he'll be absolutely fantastic. Great to see you also commit to Nommela, Kangert and Pajur. On top a couple of good frenchies in Bonnamour, Boudat, former Isostar rider Russo and Barbier and I really like your team. Edmondson was a 50k target for us as well, but you were quicker. Congrats!
Loving your teambuilding and identity and wish you the best of luck in your first CT season!

Love Bonnamour as a signing. Had him as a potential min wage steal for myself but with all the french teams around, that was unlikely to go through anyway.
Kanepejs, Laas, some cool riders in there...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

New riders
Today, we can present no less than 4 riders. All veterans, all handy in their own way.
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | OVR | Age |  | Mikhail Kochetkov | 72 | 64 | 60 | 76 | 72 | 69 | 69 | 52 | 71 | 78 | 74 | 60 | 58 | 71,32 | 31 | | Thomas Bonnin | 64 | 76 | 71 | 62 | 69 | 66 | 67 | 50 | 53 | 71 | 75 | 78 | 62 | 72,69 | 33 | | Anthony Perez | 69 | 72 | 72 | 70 | 71 | 72 | 71 | 62 | 69 | 72 | 74 | 67 | 69 | 72,72 | 31 |  | Tim Merlier | 73 | 56 | 68 | 58 | 72 | 72 | 64 | 75 | 78 | 74 | 63 | 72 | 60 | 73,59 | 30 |
Kochetkov will be a good support on the flat for our many sprinters, but will be able to try his own luck on time trials.
Bonnin and Perez will be important domestiques when the terrain rises. As of now Bonnin is even our best climber - we hope to change that. All three join for 50k.
Finally, Merlier is another fast guy who is also above average on the cobbles. He will aim to win races, where the cobbles cut down the favourite group. |

Didn't realize Merlier was a cobbler, very nice signing. Bonnin also makes sense, while I'm not so sure about Perez and Kochetkov. Still a good bunch of riders.
