Continuity For Evonik - ELKO
Evonik - ELKO continues for another season. After joining the professional cycling circuit in 2014 and promoting to PT for the 2016 season, the team is heading into its 13th season - the 11th consecutive season in the highest level of cycling.
One key factor for success has been the continuity and stability, having been sponsored by German chemistry company Evonik since its beginning. The ELKO Group, a Latvian distributor of IT and electronics products, joined for the team's second season and stayed loyal ever since.
Following a title winning season, none of the sponsors saw any reason to cancel their commitment to the project. The belief in the team to be visible and succesful in the biggest races is unbroken. Full list of returning sponsors can be found below:

These availabilities are a lot more flexible than usual as we don't really have a proper plan this year so if you think you have a great offer for one of the more unavailable guys, shoot your shot.
Regarding Lecuisinier, the best chance to get him would be a deal where i get one or multiple younger leaders/supertalents. |

You say you don't have a plan, but somehow you'll end up with one of the best transfers because it's what you always do.

Will be interesting to see what happens with PHL declining now and Lopez starting next season

No proper plan? I don't buy that  You want to win and you want to make your leaders crop younger - Am I wrong?

Too much trust in my "plans" to work out

Kinda. Both of those objectives seem to suggest very different actions and i have no clue which direction i'd be leaning.

I definitely believe you! And whatever you eventually decide to go for, I am very confident it will turn out good for you Love the thought of seeing PHL being sold, forcing you into a rebuild of some kind  |

Should be a very interesting and active transfer period for you. I do wonder if you'll choose to chase another big leader, or if that money might be invested in someone like Plapp. Speaking of him, it's nice to see that at least there's some hope with him and Foss having a single little dot

I reckon there are scenarios where Plapp or Foss are available but it needs great offers for sure. Again, my "plans" (really they are just concepts of a plan lol) are more subject to change than usual so just shoot your shot ...
I dont see a transfer season where i sell one of my top guys and solely invest a big transfer fee into training. Thats not really appealing for me when all my top riders are some sort of climber/stage racer. Not sure if replacements can be found

Some interesting availability; an even more interesting suggested swap option. There might not be any opportunity for more loan shenanigans, but I am sure we will talk.

If you have ideas for intriguing loan shenanigans, sure hit me up as well. Always love discussing those

Never doubt Evonik. That's all I'll say. It does seems very stage race heavy though, particularly with the TDF goal done, so curious if you end up shaking things up more than you intend to now.

It certainly is time for Krasts to leave before his career gets inevitably wasted
