No idea how that could happen.
I'll take 1 off flat, 1off endurance, 6 off TT and 5 off prologue as soon as i l'm on the computer, can't edit posts properly with my phone. That would be right then, wouldn't it?
Name: Matthew Allan
Age:20
Nationality:
Rider type: Sprinter/TT
Short Bio: One half of the Allan twins. The sons of Marc Allan, former pro and the GM of United Healthcare Pro Cycling Team. He has proven to be more powerful than his twin, Brant, on the flats.
Name: Brant Allan
Age: 20
Nationality:
Rider type: Explosive Climber
Short Bio: The other half of the Allan twins. Unlike his thunderous brother, Matthew, Brant's skills come to play when the road goes up. The steeper the climb, the better for Brant.
SIGH. Not enough quality sprinters here. I wish I'd taken Novo Nordisk now. I could sign 6 beasts and win everything with them! Looking at a couple of riders but I only have 1 slot left so I have to pick wisely . May have to give up on the sprinter plan.

Team Europcar did their work on the transfer market, and can proudly present to have signed Kim Po-Ding as new signing. He's going to be the first North-Korean cyclist in the Peloton, and he's signed as team leader. He will lead the races where being good at TTs is important.
Kim Po-Ding is one of the 5 best Time-trialists, at least that's what we believe. He's only just 23, so he seems to be a great talent.
We're really happy with this signing, and it seems Po-Ding, and with him, whole North Korea, is as well.
United Healthcare (UHC) General Manager Marc Allan has hinted that he is immediately interested in two riders. "I can't necessarily say who, as I haven't had the chance, but did extend E-Mails to the riders in question. I will have you know that one is an Italian powerhouse and the other is a solid Brit."
Johann Nokkvason has been in superficial talks with several teams on both WT and CT-level. He is still undecided about his future, but says he hopes to have things clarified within the next 36 hours or so. Being from Iceland he is by nature to cold to rush into something that doesn't feel completely right.
As a pioneer for cycling in his country he wishes to join a team where he occasionally will have a chance to show himself. It's hard for him to promote cycling in Iceland if he's never around when the cameras are...
He says:
It's not like I expect to lead in the Tour or anything. I just want a race calendar and a team where it's at least plausible that I'll get to try for myself a few times over the season. The rest of the time I don't mind sacrificing for a stronger rider.
Johann is a rider who prefers mountains. The longer the better. Since he didn't have a lot of company on the roads in Iceland he has also developed a good sense for TT'ing.
As for locality of the team Johann says:
No matter where I go I'll be a foreigner, so it doesn't really matter. As long as it's a team that doesn't send me to the second row because of my nationality.
Anyone who wants Nokkvason to bring the music of cycling to Iceland or wanting some new tunes in the bus are more than welcome to contact me as his agent.
