The real reason for leaving France (and get a Luxembourgian team, me sticking with that is the price you'll have to pay ) is obviously not (only) tax reduction, but also saving the French social security contributions as it allows to sign the riders as self-employed instead of employees - which throws another shade on this dubious move

We deny this scandelous fake news. The reason for us to have our riders self-employed got nothing, NOTHING I say, to do with social security and saving money! This is just a rival trying to trick riders to do worse for themself!

Yes our riders will be selfemployed but it is about freedom and liberty! The chance to control their own lives and career in a much better way then being controlled by strict employment! We offer our riders the possibility to let go of the shackles that other teams put on them!

It's revealing that everything is about "freedom" (of social security).

There are some teams who believe in fraternity and equality as well, but you've probably never heard of those things in Luxembourg ...

You could perhaps say that hills training is boring but it fits Arno like a glove. He will from next season be able to ride as a domestique and even getting some breakaway chances before he really starts to become a good puncheur by himself in the future. He might never be a monument winner but he will be an important building stone for our future team.

Late pickup during the transfer season and he might not look like the most impressive stage racer out there with low hill, low acc and low energy stats. We do however see Tabarez as an amazing low cost climbing domestique who will be a great asset for us for many years. His combination of climbing and TT will be important when he has finished his development!

Another rider in the same mold as Tabarez but better on the shorter climbs and with a bit less TT. Low energy stats and low acc most likely makes him a for life domestique but we believe he will be an important cog in future stage race trains
