Sorry to everybody interested in our riders or simply in our future, being on a vacation and thus relying on Starbucks wifi doesn't help updating the HQ and doing off-season stuff the way others can do
Expect a new HQ with all important information regarding HC choices, goals, renewals, rider availability and transfer plans sometime early next week.
For now, everyone interested in one or several of our riders can still mostly rely on our old transfer availability plan one or two pages back.
There are actually rather few changes, but I can say VDB and Bennati might be more easily available for transfer now than they used to be for rather obvious reasons.
Unintentionally, all this means that renewals are still ahead for us, so I wouldn't mind if you could express your interest again if someone on our team really appeals to you.
It's not easy to keep track of that at the moment, and I can't guarantee every rider to make it through renewals. Free Agency can be a bitch, remember
@AMEX: He is most probably available for transfer, and we're happy to note your interest.
@Pendleton's: Current planning might involve him for our future, but I could see some interesting swaps I would consider, and it's still possible we need some money, so I look forward to hear from you in transfer season.
@SN: Indeed, I'm sorry. I wasn't patient and wanted to have some sort of activity here and finally post something again while I'm still on vacation.
@Count: Of course! It's great that Meersman will be available, I'd love to see him in your team!
Just kidding
I see some riders that would definitely make me consider a swap (I'm sure I told you in your HQ at some point), let's see how much he's worth to you.
I can't guarantee you anything yet of course, you probably know there are other potential deals that really appeal to me as well.
