Some more nice signings, congrats  That's the hills - in particular the hilly sprints - the cobbles and prologues covered already, seems like you still got what it takes to be successful 
I've been targeting hilly sprints, so I hope it will work out. I always felt I undervalued it before so might just as well overvalue it now...

One of more underappreciated in Kopfauf and one of more disappointing riders ever in Luchsenko. Hopefully 10th time the charm for him 
Trying to hit both bases with both hated and loved riders. I really hope Sergey turns it around, maybe this is the year?

Congrats on Kopfauf! One of my favourite riders in the game! Excellent signing for that wage. Should bring you some nice points this season in the prologues!
Thanks for taking Watts as well! Hope he support your riders well!
Thanks for letting me take Watts
Kopfauf I think will be awesome, and I know you love him! To be honest I wish I could have one more rider like him (even though I prefer higher energy stats) but seems like that is not possible this season :/

Some solid signings for a new CT manager. Guess you must have collected some experience anywhere before?
A few ageing veterans, that should help you immediately. Galta obviously a big signing in that division and so is Thomas or Lerberghe.
Wonder where this squad turns into in the next offseason.
With my average age, 6 foot under maybe? 
Just hope my planning dosen't ruin it...
Thanks
I hope you are right, if it dosen't work out I have a lot of oldies taking up space and wage cap

Seeing Galta end up here makes me a little lest guilty for hijacking the Reis deal. This could be one of the best CT squads ever

Ouch, that hurts.
Very nice singnings. I would have chased Thomas, but had other priorities. Galta will be very strong, and I guess we'll fight on the TTs, cobbles and (I hope) hilly sprints.

Vincent and Schultz checking in!
The squad is starting to fill out and we are really happy to welcome these two signings. One was our main priority before transfers started and another became a big target when Galta was signed as we wanted to get some support for him.
 Leo Vincent (30) 90.000| FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age | | 70 | 71 | 74 | 77 | 68 | 79 | 72 | 70 | 65 | 67 | 71 | 69 | 70 | 69 | 30 |
The main target before the transfer seasons started. A great puncheur at CT level with amazing stamina. Vincent will be our main leader in different hilly races and we are super happy to sign him! On top of that he is another French rider joining which fit us perfectly. Watch out for Vincent this year, he will be great!
 Nicholas Schultz (31) 95.000| FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age | | 68 | 76 | 76 | 76 | 64 | 74 | 80 | 75 | 53 | 58 | 71 | 69 | 65 | 64 | 31 |
A quick search around the cycling world after the team got a GC leader netted us a great Austrilian climber that we are really happy to welcome to the team. Schultz will mainy ride together with Galta, but with his skills there is no doubt he will be able to lead at times aswell. We are extremely happy to welcome Nicholas and are looking forward to seeing him ride in black

Well, thinks are definately shaping up for a short CT campaign! Can't say I'm too surprised with that though.

Really like the team being built here. A very clear purpose to push to PCT as quickly as possible, great job!

Someone once said
As a fellow CT manager I really think you should just let riders like Zabel, Masnada, Gall and Evans go and preferably pick up someone way worse. We don't want them here!
Might say the same for Luchshenko, Thomas, Kopfauf, Schultz and especially Galta 
Amazing team building, looking forward to a great battle for the CT title.

I have you (still) as one of the biggest favorites this year. Even though I am glad you got rid of one of them ;-)

 Arno Wallenborn (22) 50.000| Name | FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age | | Arno Wallenborn | 67 | 64 | 67 | 69 | 56 | 69 | 71 | 68 | 56 | 60 | 68 | 68 | 71 | 56 | 22 | | 4.100 - Hill | 70 | 67 | 72 | 77 | 57 | 76 | 75 | 71 | 56 | 61 | 73 | 73 | 72 | 57 | 25 |
After presenting several veterans and important riders for the current season we are very happy to present another rider for the future. Arno is a rider we believe could be very similar to Leo Vincent when he finishes development and will be a great puncheur in the future. We are very happy to sign a rider that we belive can ride for Peugeot for many years!

 Maicol Adrian Tabarez (22) 50.000| Name | FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age | | Maicol Adrian Tabarez | 65 | 70 | 66 | 61 | 67 | 66 | 65 | 69 | 55 | 57 | 61 | 66 | 71 | 66 | 22 | | Developed | 66 | 78 | 72 | 65 | 73 | 70 | 70 | 76 | 55 | 57 | 63 | 68 | 72 | 72 | 25 |
Another talents coming in the doors here at Peugeot and we believe this is a really good one. For some reason he considered signing a stagiare contract, but we couldn't let that happen. His talent is too good to waste a seasons as a poor stagiare. Tabarez is a great talent and we are really excited for his future!

Schultz is an amazing signing! One of my biggest regrets was letting him go. He won me multiple stages and was always able to get good points for the season. He should do very well for you!!
Great signings of talents as well. Also Galta in CT is quite scary!!

Vasilyev was my first choise as climber nr2 but quite happy with Schultz. He will get chances to lead during the season, even though his main job will be support Galta. I am afraid with Galta most likely being a favorite in most races he race that it is too risky to not send ok support with him.
I am quite happy with the talents, wanted to have some riders for the future (as the mina squad is quite old) but didn't want to pay to much. So getting 3 nice talents for 50k each is perfect

Nice catch.
Was looking at him myself but decided to go another direction. Nice squad you've managed to build, both for the present as well as for future seasons!

 Ziga Groselj (32) 50.000| FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age | | 69 | 63 | 69 | 75 | 72 | 72 | 73 | 68 | 53 | 72 | 72 | 72 | 63 | 72 | 32 |
The last waged rider to be signed this season, and we are happy to welcome Ziga as part of the team. A late analysis of the squad made us realize we are a bit light on TT support and when Ziga can give both that and be a puncheur with a late kick/sprint he should be the perfect fit for us. Ziga will be sent to many different races over the season, both where he can score and where he can support!
This concludes our transfer season until we draft 2 free riders. 13 riders signed, 4 riders loaned in

Great depth with loads of riders who could score really big for you. Obviously Galta, but also guys Luchshenko, Russo, Kopfauf und Schultz will shine in CT.
Good luck!

I was really surprised to see Tabarez go for 50K, as he's a really cool rider. I think I would sacrifice his TT a bit to get his HI and ACC up a bit, but I definately understand the route.
Wallenborn signed for 50K is the perfect demonstration, that we don't really have a luxembourgian team around anymore

The worst about Tabarez was the he was being signed as a stagiare, would be sad to see his development postponed...
I went with the more TT version here as I picture him as a climber/TTT luxury domestique in the future, and thus didn't care too muich about Hill/Acc. But plans might change ;-)
