Wage wise I can only see Napolitano and Serpa of my current riders going over 100k. All the riders you mentioned are available and for low fees, provided I get them renewed. Plus if you buy in bulk you can get a discount  |

Thanks to fintas we now have superb bikes to go with our superb jersey. Look provide the road bike, Peugeot the TT bike.
At some point in the near future we will move to our new HQ - then you can expect more news and transfer talk. Just waiting for NCs to finish first. |

With transfer season coming around soon, it is time to look at the possible destinations of the current riders on the team, as well as looking at potential transfer targets. Part 1 here looks at possible future destinations for current Evian-MIAT riders.
Danilo Napolitano
The current star of the team and the best sprinter in the PCT this season is looking to move to greener pastures after new team management decided that sprinting was not a battleground they wished to get involved in. Napolitano is expected to take some sort of pay cut, and if it is enough then a move to the CT could beckon with potential new teams showing interest. However Privatbank, Boeing and Kappa have all apparently showed interest while PT teams Lotto and WIggle are seen as long odds outsiders to take a chance on the aging Italian.
Jose Serpa
Serpa has disappointed this season and as a result he looks to be leaving. Due to his age and declining ability his wage will definitely drop and Mobil have been showing a strong interest in him for some time. However, it is strongly rumoured that he could find himself heading back to the PT with MIlka apparently looking to add to their compliment of Colombian climbers - an unlikely deal but one that would be preferred by many inside the team and by Serpa himself.
Carlos Alexandre Manarelli
The young Brazilian has starred as part of Napolitano's leadout this season and done well when hels been able to sprint for himself. Due to his low wages and having youth on his side he is likely to end up in the CT, although Mobil could be interested as could Boeing should they sign Napolitano, or even Repsol.
Blaise Sonnery
Sonnery will only leave for a large fee. New management likes the concept of a Spinter who can turn Mountain domestique and the feeling in the camp is that Blaise will be with us for the long run, unless we get a huge offer.
Andreas Landa
Serpa's support act has had a solid but unspectacular year and is favouring a move back to his native Norway. Aker and Risa head the race for his signature, but MTN and Boeing have also stated an interest. Whatever happens, he won't be racing for us next season.
Cayetano Sarmiento
The Colombian NC is angling for a move, despite the beautiful NC on offer to him. Likely to follow Serpa wherever he goes, Repsol, Mobil and Milka are all considered options with his national title adding to his value.
Martin Puusepp
The Estonian did little all season and we want rid. Privatbank and Metinvest are considered options, with Boeing again looking at one of our riders on their incredibly long list of targets.
Federico Rocchetti
Rocchetti impressed but lacks the quality to lead at this level. HTC, Kappa and Metinvest are considered potential suitors as are Meiji, while again a certain Bulgarian team is interested...
The Others
Maksym Averin is likely to head back to Ukraine with both Privatbank and Metinvest interested plus the possibility that he could move with Napolitano.
Our Mongolian trio of Tuulhangai, Altanzul and Myagmarsuren are likely to head to Compal for a small fee after MIAT pulled support, although interest has been heard for Altanzul from other teams.
Adrien Petit, Andrea Guardini and Daniel Ricardo Diaz are expected to be loaned to the PT. Petit has interest from Festina and Guardini from VW, while Diaz will go to whoever will take him.
Mustafa Carsi, Roy Goldstein and Isaac Bolivar will remain with the team next season to develop unless we receive a good offer.
Finally, Marco Brus, Jerome Mainard and Romain Bardet are unlikely to be renewed unless teams are interested in securing them on non-free agent wages.
Stay tuned for part 2 later! |

I'd happily take Bardet on board for a small fee, one of my favourite riders irl. |

All riders you linked to me, could actually be very real targets for me... You must be a fortune teller...

Romain Bardet could also be a good rider for us. He's no way near good enough to do anything for us yet, but I like him, and in the end he will be a decent domestique at PT level, so I will probably also make a move for him in some sort of swap deal if he is still contracted.
Marco Brus can be a very good leadoutman, and also with his high recuperationstat might be decent in the long Tours both PT and PCT wise. I won't make an offer for him, as I have similar riders though.
I also like Mainard, but he won't be good at PT level, even when maxed out, so I won't bid for him either...
Guardini would be interesting on a loan deal, despite being italian. He should be a good leadout with his 80 Acceleration, although his flat stat is a bit worrying. But if his wage is low, and I have room for him I would help maxing him out.
Petit obviously is a no-brainer. I would love to help maxing him out, being french and all.

Well i had alist based off staying CT with a number of US and CAN riders, plus 100-300k leaders. Then we promoted so i started adding in various available riders and some 300k+ leaders. Together it made one huge list!

After part 1 focused on our current riders, part 2 focuses on our transfer targets. It's less in depth and probably predictable but it's here nonetheless.
Firstly we look at the climbers. With this season's trio leaving we plan to rebuild and we have big goals, but a realistic view of what we can achieve. Our biggest target in this department is Romain Sicard, as he is not only French but young enough to lead for a long while yet. However he will command a high wage from the free agency so we have other targets. Thibaut Pinot, Igor Anton and Yasmani Martinez are all other potential leaders, while we are looking towards Steve Morabito, Frederik Kessiakoff and Julian David Arredondo as potential super domestiques.
On the hills we have a long list of target leaders, all of whom we would be happy to be able to sign. Maxime Monfort is the Belgian interloper in our list of Frenchmen; Cyril Gautier, Jeremy Roy and Anthony Roux all pique our interest and we are confident of having the finances to bring one of them on board. As for super domestiques we like the look of Mickael Delage, Wes Sulzberger and Jesus Del Nero but expect to struggle to sign in demand riders like the aforementioned.
Our biggest target is the French TT Superstar Jerome Coppel. He is a signing we want more than words can express, with Look pushing hard for his signature. But in case we fail in our pursuit we will look to Kai Reus as an alternative. Also on our TTing shortlist is Rene Mandri, who we are very keen to sign.
Our sprinting department is to be reformed, losing the big flat sprinters and instead focussing on those who get over hills well so that our sprinters can be useful teammates as well. Enrico Gasparotto, Tiziano Dall'Antonia and Grega Bole are our main targets here.
The remaining spots will be filled by talents, so our targets are unknown until the new DB is released. Questions and comments are welcomed. |

If I get a team then I like the look of your Colombian Climbers, wage depending.

Gasparotto would certainly love to join you!
Gotta carry him through renewals though first, and I don't know if I spot some interesting riders on your going out list, but we could use some money for our transfer plans anyway
Mind you you're not the only one interested afaik, but we received positive feedback about you and your team from Maxime Daniel over the course of this season.
Delage is a difficult topic. He already proved he's a very valuable rider in PCT, and he woukd be an interesting 'Geschke-esque' dual threat with Demare next season.
Nevertheless, we note that interest and would certainly be not completely ignoring a good deal come transfers.

I have a certain puncy-sprinter who put in some great results this year... Could be someone for you
And you already knew you have some riders I kinda like, so perhaps we can talk a bit during the transferseason

Gautier Heading To France?
A recent list has come out from the headquarters of the recently re-named La Vie Claire squad that they are interested in securing the signature of Team BPost's current puncheur Cyril Gautier.
It is understood that Gautier is currently out of favour with the Belgian team's manager after a season of relatively poor results. The Belgian squad are likely to look for a new leader on hilly terrain in the current season and it seems that the Frenchman may in fact be available for transfer.
It is likely that the young rider will be given a renewed contract by his team and some are speculating whether he in fact will be on a cheaper contract that last year, given his poor run of form. If that is the case then he would represent an absolute bargain to the La Vie Claire management.

If my application is accepted, then Manarelli would be of serious interest - a good fit with our intended Latin America team focus. A lot of other nice riders too. Hence ,ou can expect communication from my office upon the transfer window opening if the MG gods smile on our little Colombian enterprise .

Team Metinvest -Emirates would like to deny the rumours about Maksym Averin being interesting for them. We already evaluated him last year and our opinion is still the same, we will be fine without him.

@FroomeDog: Great to hear that. He's a decent talent but he's not a strong enough climber to get away with his lack of TT ability. Could be a good CT leader or super domestique though!
@fjhoekie: We still have interest in Cardoso but he's not as high on our list as he was. But with your interest in our riders I'm sure we can work out a deal.
@SotD: Good to see your interested in Petit, Guardini and Bardet. Hope we can continue our good relationship between the teams, although I hope not to have so many loans this time.
@viking: Kessiakoff is still pretty good but I don't fancy a bidding war. We'll see how it goes
@LLS: I think your shortlist may be longer than TMMs...
@cio: Daniel was very useful for us - mainly as a leadout. We'll definitely be in touch about Gasparotto while we can understand your hesitation with Delage as he's great for this level.
@Count: If his wage does decrease we'll be in like a shot. Less than 200k wages for a 79HIL rider is great, just hope he's not like this season for whoever buys him
@Scorchio: Colombian eh? Well if you get in we have the current NC looking for a move.
@Avin: But you're not denying the other links?
