Awesome jersey, do you have some socks and tights ?
Hi Douglas, thanks for stopping by!
In answer to your query, I'm afraid not. We are highly indebted to aidanvn13 for producing this eye catching design in line with our requested brief. As I didn't have a clue how to go about making a jersey from a technical perspective, not much chance of additional graphic options being produced for our Grupo Nutresa set-up. Likely we will be on stock bikes this season too, as I was late getting the cont(r)acts in place to assist  .
Will be intersting to see how the jersey stands out in the MG this season given the amount of green in the CT (and PCT when occasionally C1'ing it),

Apologies, but an in-depth transfer update is not going to be forthcoming for a while - too much time keeping an eye on the trades / FA frenzy (still no FA on board ), and the ton of IRL work that has appeared unexpectedly in last 24 hours - don't they know it's MG transfer season? 
On a better note, I have holiday time coming up in a few weeks, so will have the opportunity to get the HQ looking ship-shape, bright and shiny in line with what I guess (envisage, .... OK, hope) will be around the kick-off of the new season  .
Cheers
S.
EDIT: Now there is some relaxing to the frenzy, we will slowly try to catch up on the Grupo Nutresa transfer news and free agent activity.

Grupo Nutresa are pleased to welcome the first rider to our new programme: Ukranian sprinter Maksym Averin has signed in a trade from jph27's Evian-MIAT formation (now rebranded as La Vie Claire). Maksym spent the majority of 2013 acting as part of Napolitano's lead-out train, restricting his ability to chase many results on his own behalf. Nutresa General Manager Scorchio welcomed Averin to the fold in a team press release:
Max is an excellent first signing, bringing battle-hardened experience from the PCT division. We believe that his capabilities are much more suited to the CT division, and we expect a succesful season ahead. Maksym will often feature in our stage race line up acting in partnership with a lead sprinter at C2HC races, with opportunities to fight for his own results at specific C2 individual targets.

He certainly has, and we are both delighted and grateful.
Given that your kit utilises similar colours although a very different design, there may be occassional confusion with rider recognition with our various riders. Nevertheless, we don't mind handing up a bottle for your guys on those occasions when necessary if you are up for reciprocating - always good to have friends in the convoy 
Good luck in the uber intense UK transfer market. Noticed the Opie signing - sure he is going to harvest quite a few points for you across the season.

Grupo Nutresa are proud to welcome team leader for 2014 Alexsandr Kolobnev to our program. Alex is a top class puncheur who is sure to deliver many nice results for Nutresa. Joining on a two year contract from Tinkoff Credit Systems Bank, Alex has an impressive palmares, rarely out of the top 10 in any race he has started in the last 3 seasons. At 33 Kolobnev brings the experience necessary to lead our new outfit, both on the road at the head of races, and in terms of providing leadership and an exemplary example to our young riders off the bike.
In order to ease his transition and integration into a South American team, key domestique Gennadiy Tatarinov has been signed to ride alongside Alexsandr as well as Sergey Chernetskiy on loan for the season. Both these young riders are welcome additions in their own right. Nutresa GM Scorchio was keen to praise both Alexsandr and his prior team manager Mr Tinkov for their professional conduct during transfer and contract negotiations.

Gennadiy Tatarinov arrives as part of the deal to bring compatriot Alexsandr Kolobnev on board. Welcoming Gennadiy, GM Scorchio stated:
Gennadiy is an exciting young rider to bring to our team. He already demonstrates good competency in the mountains, and has an aggressive racing style that will endear him to our fans. We can see him very rapidly developing into an excellent lieutenant and right hand man to our mountain and hill leaders. In order to ensure his progression, Gennadiy will immediately be thrown into a heavy race program. It is likely that he will have to spend 2015 on loan in the PT to ensure he rapidly maximises his potential. We look forward to Gennadiy becoming a central component of our team for potentially the next decade!

The 4th rider joining Grupo Nutresa in its first year of existence is young Russian Sergey Chernetskiy. Sergey joins us on loan for a season to enhance his development in the CT environment, before returning to parent team Tinkoff Credit Systems Bank in the PT. Sergey is a likeable young man with a bright cycling future in front of him. He has plenty of options with regards to his future development, although it would seem most likely at this early stage of his career that he will focus on puncheur style racing, focussing on his already evolving punchy hill climbing style, and diesel engine that is suited to riding all day as required. Sergey will have the perfect opportunity to benefit from spending a season riding alongside his experienced compatriot Kolobnev. Sergey is the final piece of the complicated transfer jigsaw that saw the arrival of a Russian Triad at Grupo Nutresa in order to secure Kolobnev's services.

After the difficulties initially encountered in the Free Agency market, Nutresa continued with Plan B - gathering riders through (preferably cheap!) direct transfers. Next to sign on the dotted line was Xavier Zabalo, a 50.000 Euro steal from Rothaus - Aegon. Lead Directeur Sportif Henry Cardenas was effusive with praise for Zabalo when discussing his signing with local media representatives:
Xavier is a top quality rider ideally suited to the rigours of the Continental Tour. Able to assist as a luxury domestique, hold his own in hilly stage races with time-trials and effective in day long breaks, Xavier will ensure that the Nutresa jersey is to the fore whenever he rocks up to the start line. His swashbuckling performance at last years Tour de Slovenie really caught our eye, securing the KOM jersey and a place just outside the top 10 overall against some of the top PCT talent. After that performance, Xavier was placed high on our short list for our new CT outfit. It is with great pleasure that we welcome him to our program.

After a successful 2013 season riding for Team Credexbank, Michal Golas joins Grupo Nutresa for the new season. Bringing a combination of hill copetency, basic sprinting and aggressive racing style with competent back-up stats, Michal is a close match with the ideal Nutresa rider. Michal will be keen to re-visit the winners circle after success on the final stage of his home race, the Tour de Pologne last season. A number of other top 10 finishes across the season indicate Michal's well rounded abilities and potential to steadily contribute points to the Nutresa haul.

Cesar Andre Fonte joins Grupo Nutresa from Privatbank - Nemiroff Professional Cycling Team. Fonte has been brought on board to provide significant support for Alexsandr Kolobnev in hilly races, and will have the opportunity to lead on a number of occasions in hilly stage races where Cesar's TT skill will help make the difference. We hope that with less pressure on his shoulders by not requiring him to lead every race he starts, Cesar will be able to focus on the key races most suited to his abilities. We have every confidence that Cesar will bring in a strong points haul across the season based upon his protected rider status.

I hope Cesar will be a great rider for your team, and you bought him for almost nothing, so he really can't do anything wrong
He did fairly well for my team last year, especially in Bretagnes iirc.
To all other CT teams, You've been sleeping!
