2024 Transfer period
Alright, we've got another transfer season coming up and it looks like I'll be able to attend most of it. Exciting times ahead!
Let's start by quickly going through renewals and rider development.
Terrified of the new wage algorithm (putting more emphasis on rider performance), we didn't dare to lowball our riders too much and probably overpaid here and there. But in the end we did manage to squeeze almost everyone into the wage cap, with only aging rouleur  Benedikt Mundle leaving the team.
The other major news of this period is that youngsters Leknessund and Aleotti recently finished their development program and are now senior Gazelle riders.
Both will focus their career on stage races that require both climbing and time trialling skills. Especially Leknessund is showing exceptional quality for his age and is considered a prime candidate for further development into a team leader.

And finally the part of the post that probably interests you most: the transfer status of our riders.

Leknessund is awesome, what a rider! In particular with these energy stats, he should rock longer stage races in a couple of years - get him some really tough mountain training and he'll be competing against the best!
Unlikely that we'll be talking with Aleotti as the most interesting rider for me being (understandibly) unavailable, but who knows ^^
All the best for transfers anyway!

Leknessund going back to Žalgiris is insane on its own, don't think an offer is needed

Leknessund would make for a great 1-2 punch with Dunbar though  Curious to see how much you would consider 'insane'

Leknessund and Aleotti are great riders to build on, but given the age structure of the rest of the squad some rebuilding will be needed rather sooner than later. Best of luck with this task!

I never realized how old you age structure is. Definitely seems like there are some changes to be done in the 1-2 transfer windows. Curious to see what sort of monster squad the next generation will be...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Thanks! Definitely looking to start training him next year.

There's only one way to find out, so let's talk.

Yeah I agree, thanks!

The age issue has gradually gotten worse over the past couple of years. Five or six riders in the current squad will be too weak to stay after their next decline. Ideally we already replace at least two of those in this transfer window.

We'll definitely try to find out what an insane offer means. Looking forward to the talks, and all the best for your transfer season. As others have pointed out, looks to be quite a job looming. Suspect we'll see you very active both this season and next! |
