It's the CT teams. Seen nothing from any of them yet, and they could bag some HUGE riders!
But WT teams are so limited on custom riders, that signing someone who won't be a leader, frankly, is a waste. Two spots, what else are you going to do but go after leaders. If you've got spaces left over when the leaders are gone, then you go for the domestiques.

Name: Willem Brouwer
Age: 23
Nationality: Netherlands
Rider type: (Uphill) Sprinter
Short Bio: A ambitious Dutch sprinter who just finished his study and can now focus on cycling, instead of looking in the books. He's quite chauvinistic, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't want to ride for non-Dutch teams. Enough flat roads back in the Netherlands, so being a sprinter was quite obvious, not living in Limburg. He does enjoy Cauberg-like climbs, though.
Stats:
Flat: 76
Hill: 74
Mnt: 63
TT: 60
Prol: 62
Cob: 55
Spr: 78
Acc: 78
Desc: 69
End: 73
Res: 65
Fight:55
Rec: 69
Name: Mathieu Favre
Age: 20
Nationality: French
Rider type: Stage-racer
Short Bio: A diesel-type of stage-racer. Wanting to give the Frenchies a new GT-winner, just in-case if Pinot fails. Though also if Pinot succeeds 
He can easily get along with others, simply because he can't do harm to anyone. He doesn't really care about money, as long as he can buy food and has his bicycle, he's happy.
Stats:
Flat: 66
Hill: 74
Mnt: 74
TT: 72
Prol: 71

Hmm, busy trying to figure out a way I can massively cheat to manipulate people into signing Pietor Furan and Firmansyah Sinaga....
Could I create a new account, become in charge of a team, then quit, and someone else would take over, with my riders in there....
Sorry just wondering. |

Let's not do that. Just have some patience, only 5 riders are signed atm, we only started a few hours ago 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

No, you shouldn't. And don't worry, CT teams can sign 6 riders, and they certainly will try to sign as much as possible. Europcar thought about you already as well(well, already considered everyone ).
Come on, only a few guys have already been signed, you shouldn't worry

Why don't you take control of a team The Hobbit? It's not that hard and the more, the merrier. Come on, there's loads of teams available. |

Team NetApp - Endura Rumors
It seems Team NetApp might be interested in Dermot Walker, who said he was interested in NetApp too, this might bring them to a deal. More news will definitely be coming when it's getting closer or farther to the big step to the Elite cycling world.
Michael Boogerd also made clear he is willing to pay a fair amount of money for a young cobble rider. "We definitely have a good team for GC's and climb stages. For sprint stages we have some good sprinters too, but if your looking at our roster, you might've seen we do not have a decent cobbler. If we could get our hands on a young cobbler that would be really great towards our step to the World Tour" is what Michael Boogerd released to Eurosport.

Hello, it's me, Jakub. I was given few offers today, when the market was opened. It was really hard for me to make a decision that early, but when I get offer from Cannondale, I wasn't thinking longer. This is splendid opportunity for me to establish myself in WT peloton, especially when Francesco Moser is running the team. I definitely hope, this will go through...
Die hard fan of Tom Boonen and Quickstep since 2004.

Dermot is definitely very interested and is looking forward to receiving an offer in the near future . |

So basically if we want to sign a rider, we make a good pitch to the rider creator?

Not for now, maybe if some teams are struggling to find riders, I'll allow it.
