Just like your tracking tool, your transfers seem to be working out quite good so far Onodera can score some nice TT points, and the sprinters you've signed should be able to do the same in CT!
As the end of the transfer window swings into view our roster nears completion, with three more riders joining in the past few days. Up first is our initial GC signing (by way of transfer), the veteran Italian all-rounder Fausto Masnada. At this stage of his career we do not expect Fausto to compete for GC victories, even at the CT level. However, we hope his completeness and experience will combine to provide a steady stream of points through consistent placings, especially in tours that include ample TT kilometers within which he can make back some gaps to the purer climbers.

He is joined by pair of additional domestiques, the Czech rouleur Daniel Turek and the Italian climber Mattia Bais. Although we expect Daniel may score some points here and there through TT placings, the primary goal of both will be to support the leadership as strong, dependable teammates throughout a variety of terrains.
Fincantieri - Grand Seiko has completed three additional signings for the coming season. First is the veteran climber Dion Smith. The New Zealander spent last year helping an Italian team promote to the PCT, and we hope he repeats the feat by contributing to our points return, especially in the high mountains and through placings in the general classification of the harder races on the CT calendar.

He is joined by a pair of juniors. First is the high potential Italian Ludovico Crescioli, who projects out as an excellent rouleur and elite breakaway artist.

Second is the young Swiss talent Jonas Muller, who we hope will develop into a puncheur with a kick, able to contribute to the team on versatile parcours.

With these three signings, Fincantieri - Grand Seiko now considers our transfer window to be closed. The final roster will depend only on our draft additions.
Onodera can score some nice TT points, and the sprinters you've signed should be able to do the same in CT!
