Same here but I didn't want to tip him off if he was really committed to that route  In fact, if I was to recommend anything I love his puncheur route, consider that maybe

2026 transfers - what now?
Well, after a relegation and a post season where the management turned in the tax papers too late, things aren't quite as one could have expected at Grieg-Maersk HQ.
The logistics department have already seen a lot of changes. Since we didn't manage to gain any positive experience from last year, we can only try again with some new hands behind the wheel.
And even though riders like Tibor Del Grosso had a great time out on loan, the team also missed his individual tax papers. Nothing more to say from the team than it's our own fault.
Renewals saw us cut a good bit down on the wages. Especially Del Grosso took a big cut, but going into the season, we look a bit in need for some changes. Here's a quick list going into transfers:
| Rider | Wage | Transfer availability | | Mads Pedersen | 820.000 | *** | | Tibor Del Grosso | 550.000 | ** | | Jonas Abrahamsen | 155.000 | ** | | David Gaudu | 135.000 | **** | | Aime De Gendt | 95.000 | ** | | Tom Bohli | 95.000 | ** | | Jai Hindley | 90.000 | *** | | Magnus Cort Nielsen | 90.000 | *** | | Samuel Ssabagwanya | 80.000 | *** | | Anders Foldager | 65.000 | *** | | Amund Grondahl Jansen | 65.000 | ** | | Magnus Bak Klaris | 55.000 | ** | | Johannes Staune-Mittet | 55.000 | ** | | Morten Hulgaard | 50.000 | ** | | Embret Svestad-Bardseng | 50.000 | ** | | Julius Johansen | 50.000 | **** | | Alexander Kamp | 50.000 | **** | | Dries Van Gestel | 50.000 | ** |
At the same time we say thank you to Terry Kusuma, Anthon Charmig, Nicola Bagioli and Amanuel Gebregziabher for their efforts for Grieg-Maersk.

Hehe.
Everything's on the table, something more likely than others. The interest around some key riders should probably shape the reminder of our transfers.

Two dots you say? That's more than one
Not sure we'll talk, but I wouldn't exclude it

It would be a true shame to lose your team identity after relegation. I would definitely keep Pedersen as your ultimate leader in PCT.

That’s certainly an availability list
Looks like renewals went about as well as they could have. Honestly surprised to see Mads potentially open to offers, it would be strange to see him in another team’s colours.

Please do not let yourself be dissuaded by some of these comments - Pedersen does not in fact need to be in PCT at all

Not sure he'll fit into a CT wage cap though 
That would have been an intriguing availability list in another year! But I have a feeling there might be a blockbuster trade of cobbles stars incoming ...

Don't worry he's already ridden in other colours in the past
