Frantic negotiation. Requests, counter-requests and triple-requests. Thrashing out an agreement that can somehow benefit all sides.
And that was just the sponsors.
Jurgen had a feeling he was going to enjoy this rollercoaster, wherever it may take him. This is it. Everything had come together for this one moment, and hopefully many more to come.
He had clambered to the cusp. And now it was time to clamber the steps.
"So, hello!"

We know, that, just like our website finds the best deals for travellers across the globe, KAYAK-Clas Ohlson will find only the best value deals for itself and its riders. We are glad to, so to speak, get on our bike!
Co-Sponsor

"We here at Clas Ohlson are very pleased to secure co-sponsorship of the KAYAK-Clas Ohlson cycling team for the forthcoming MGUCI Continental Tour season. We know full well that just like our stores try to act as your local 'useful shopp', KAYAK-Clas Ohlson will try to stock a range of riders useful in lots of different ways. Roll on the first race!"

Another part-Swedish team. Interesting.
Not a lot of useable Swedes free on the market I think. We'll probably talk in transfer season.

Interesting combination of nationalities! Good luck with your goals in Sweden. not a lot of Swedes to choose from really. Although the Swedish National Champion will almost certainly be a free agent. He's basically useless at this point, which is why he won't be re-signed, but still. 
I have another Swede too, but I like to stick to Denmark mostly for my riders. Still, I'm sure we'll see each other in the transfer season at some point. Hopefully not too much though, you wouldn't watch to catch "restofscandanaviaitis"

Good luck! Interesting combination of focuses this, props for the courage but I believe it will be hard to find leaders from those regions, given the amount of teams interested in the very same riders!
Nonetheless, you were pretty lucky with that Jersey, astonishing creation by krisa there, one of my favourites this year.

@Atlantius We probably will talk- I'm planning to really plumb the depths for some Swedish gems(hopefully).
@Sutty Oh really? The HQ's nice? You think so? Why, from such a member...(blushes)
@BBL Thanks- Carlsberg-Danske Bank can hopefully push on this season without that pesky Swede...
As for 'restofScandinaviaitis', I think I'll probably have contracted it come May.
@Matt Thanks very much- as I said, I'll try to plumb the depths, and Krisa's jersey is superb.
@DaveTwoBob Thank you very much-best of luck with Kraftwerk.
@sgdanny You know, tropical was the first word that came into my head. Good luck to you too!
I think I also need to plug krisa:https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....d_id=40942

Hehe we could definitely talk about it come transfer season. And yeah, restofscandinaviaitis is pretty damn contagious.

@viking90 Thanks- who said the Swedish riders had to be great?
@BBL It is contagious, isn't it? In fact, sometimes you just need a justification...

KAYAK- Clas Ohlson are on the lookout for American domestiques and sprinters, preferably cheap. Any takers?
