That's a rather small roster you have there pre-transfers and with the availabilities you should have one of the busiest transfer periods of us all!

Some cool names available though nothing that would fit into my team, KHJ is one of those unlucky riders who at max would have seen a real benefit to the MM stat this year but may just struggle this year after his decline understand the need to sell at PCT level as currently a big list of CT leaders without a standout PCT leader hopefully youll be able to fix that come transfers !
Bernard and KHJ did well last year, but I am aware that they won't cut it as my main guys in PCT. So getting something, ANYTHING for them would be a W for me in this case.
Well, considering my last 2 stints, I may be up for yet another disappointment. BUT if I play my cards well, my fortunes may change. Let's wait and see how this transfer season plays out.

Most of my roster was consisting of aging riders that didn't have much of value anyway. Robov asked for too much and his market value wasn't going to be that good if I gave him what he wanted.

I imagine we'll see a lot of each other in free agency as teams operating in a similar region. Looking forward to seeing what you do in transfers with so much cap space to work with! |

Hopefully there isn't much of an overlap between us

Free Agent signings update #1
We welcome our first new signings - all from  Czechia (our new primary nationality for the season):
Jakub Otruba (50k)
Karel Vacek (50k, unmaxxed)
Michal Kukrle (140k - a bit doozy, but our new bike supplier in Author wanted a Czech NC in the squad)

Free Agent signings update #2
 Michal Kwiatkowski joins the team for the 'veteran minimum' wage of 50k. Sure, he's not the same Kwiatkowski from the years before, but we think he will be still useful.
Also, we welcome our second (and so far final) arrival via trade -  Domen Novak. Unfortunately, the financial department once again miscalculated, but unlike one previous transaction for which we got cold feet, we've decided to stick with the decision and see what we can do.
Hopefully we can turn around the transfer season - otherwise we would lag behind big time.

Huge outlay for Novak 
I like Kwiato on the minimum. It's also nice to see some of Moser's riders get a new team

And we're not done with the "Moser reunion tour" - Josef Cerny also joins the team on a 60k deal.

Seems like you are building the strongest squad you ever had. Novak, Cataford, Cerny, ... those are some quality riders!
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

We've added some riders to the roster:
We're welcoming 2 loanees -  Alexander Hajek and  Alec Segaert
A rider from  Uganda will be featured for the first time in the franchise's history as Jordan Schleck arrives from Spark Team NZ via ELCO - ABEA
 Andrei Sakalou returns to the team after being with us in 2021
But is this the end of our transfer season?

We've added 2 sprinters from FA, both on 50k -  Jonas Ahlstrand (cue the '2 years too late' jokes) and  Dan McLay

Can't wait to see what Hajek can do already - also Schleck is a really cool rider, that I have been somewhat keen on for a couple of seasons. Now that I finally landed him, I needed to swap him out to keep progress. I hope he'll perform well for you!

It was tough to let Schleck go but I am glad where he ended up! I hope he can do some great stuff for you here!
Some great signings to go along with Schleck as well! Nice squad!

Several veteran riders joined the team in the closing stages of the transfer season:
First to join was  Frederico Figueiredo and he is the first rider from Portugal to join the franchise.
Next was the cobble legend  Danny Summerhill - sure, he's no longer prime Summerhill, but he wants to prove one more time that he's still got it
 Oleksandr Golovash joins an already solid TT squad - an area this franchise has exceled over the years.
And our final 2 additions are riders from the silent auction -  Michael Kolar joins his Moser teammates Cerny, Neuman, Kukrle, Vacek and Otruba as Slovakia is also added to the map of countries represented in the franchise, while 5 years after spending 600k on him to diminishing returns (though he started hot in Hong Kong), Georg Preidler returns to the team.

Novak will be a beast in PCT imo. Also like your late signings. Figueiredo was clever, and cool to see Summerhill get one more ride!

I am very impressed you brought back Preidler after your hate-hate relationship with him the first time around.

Some good pickups at the last minute. That could make the difference staying up. It won't be a walk in the park so fingers crossed!
