Great to have you with us! It will be interesting how your squad will look like after transfers, the first season is all about learning (and I learned the hard way  ). I wish you all the best!

Excited to see you be part of the MG! Will definitely follow your actions in transfers to see how your team will actually shape, and what kind of rider focus you will have. Best of luck! |

Welcome on board!
Wasn't exactly needed to crowd the Swiss market even more, but feel free to join the "fun"  Sounds like an interesting project anyway

I came up with the concept before taking a look at the DB and have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Japanese talent pool. Hopefully more than enough for the both of us: plus, more demand justifies more supply...

Swiss is very much a tertiary focus for me, but between Fincantieri being distinctly Northern Italian (Trieste/Liguria) and Grand Seiko being a watchmaker, it made a lot of sense to let me dip my toe into that talent pool without breaking too much of the team mold. So you shouldn't have anything to worry about... |

Looking forward to see what type of riders you target to fit your stylistical goals. Sounds fun though so hopefully you pull it off

Good luck with your inaugural season. The first season can be a bit hectic, especially transfers, but it seems like you’re off to a good start.

No worries, do whatever you think is best for your team - after all, more (sponsor) attention hopefully also means we can find even more and better talents
And I'll be available for talks if some of my Swiss riders seem interesting to you
