Hillis killed it with that jersey! To twist the standard Red Bull color scheme is a good choice and it's amongst the best looking kits this season.
That's a lot of riders to try and sell, but even if you struggle there's enough cap space to make splash in the market. Potentially a very interesting team to follow this season

Our goal has always been to put on a show both on and off the road, we are not looking to stop this year

Transfer season has just started, and we are already able to announce two of our bigger targets this season! But first, an appetizer
Giorgi Tediashvili is a regional focus type of rider. A fine domestique that will certainly be useful in a future, and will be maxed at the same time as the other cobble beast Beka. Maybe then we will start putting a bit more focus on cobbles, but for now, he'll be shipped out somewhere else.

Next up, a passion signing. As a Team Joker (RIP) fanboy, I had to get this guy. Oh and he's also god damn fantastic and still U25. Kristoffer Halvorsen babyyyy.
| FL | MO | HL | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FT | DH | PR | Wage | | 76 | 58 | 65 | 63 | 74 | 71 | 80 | 70 | 80 | 80 | 70 | 61 | 68 | 350K |
---
And finally, the actual GOAT, true destroyer of worlds, a rider that does my weiner happy, THE BIG DOG Andreas Leknessund
| FL | MO | HL | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FT | DH | PR | Wage | | 72 | 70 | 69 | 71 | 72 | 76 | 70 | 69 | 65 | 68 | 74 | 69 | 71 | 250K (!) | | 73 | 77 | 74 | 78 | 77 | 81 | 77 | 69 | 65 | 69 | 75 | 69 | 78 | Max |
He's just not fair.
We are looking for teams that would be willing to pay 100K of his wages with 1->3 loan clause
---
And that's just the start, Red Bull will be proud to announce more arrivals of Red Bulls

Leknessund for 250k is even way, way more of a steal than Schmid for 150k. Congrats!

And I would add that Halvorsen at 350k isn't expensive either!
I was expecting him to go very high looking at his training potential.

@Fabianski - Well I think both were complete steals, Schmid even has the advantage of being from your regional focus
@cio 350K isn't expensive, but probably also not far from where he would've gone for in a 'normal' year. But yes, Halvorsen is probably the first rider I'll ever train.
@ko, croatia and ryant - it's just the beginning, we at Red Bull are always looking to put on a spectacular show

We welcome two new additions to our, and a leader numba two
First off, a local legend in the street fighting scene, Mantas Januskevicius. There are several ways to go about with him, but I reckon he's most likely to succeed in a stage hunter breakaway typa rider. Maybe stage racer is a better option, but we're gonna have quite a few one of those in the future, not sure I need another one. He is being shipped off to world renowned talent academy McCormick.
| FL | MO | HL | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FT | DH | PR | Wage | | 70 | 64 | 67 | 68 | 71 | 72 | 67 | 55 | 68 | 68 | 71 | 68 | 67 | 50K | | 71 | 73 | 74 | 71 | 76 | 77 | 74 | 55 | 68 | 73 | 76 | 69 | 70 | Max |
And the BIG GUN, we tried getting him last year, but he was too expensive. This year it went a lot better, and we have to thank mr. Eden95 for being #blessed and a total G in making the negotiations go smoother than butter. We have acquired Martijn Keizer for a cool MILLION DOLLARS and Andreas Hofer. Hofer was great for us in CT, but it was necessary to let him go to complete the deed. And even though he is old, he will still be 79MO/79TT next year (I think?), so it's not even a rental!

We have also lost small pp Ovsya, Stefan Denifl, Airidas Videika and loaned out Giorgi Tediashvili. We wish them best of luck in their future endeavours.

Happy to see Keizer riding in your colours this season - so long as you keep him and his other new friend far away from us  I hope he lives up to the hype (he will) and takes you and the other bulls to the promised land of the PT

Two new friends
Red Bull Žalgiris are pleased to announce two new signings. However, before that, we say farewell to Jan Drago Petelin, who is going back to former club King Power.
And we bring back our former rider Daniel Teklehaimanot. Older and less capable than he was a year ago, but should still be fantastic domestique to our new mountain cap'n in Keizer.

Alongside him joining Žalgiris is a rider we've wanted last year as well, and with Red Bull's backing we've finally been able to afford him - Matthias Brändle. He and Keizer will form an untouchable MTT duo.

Another addition - a hills leader to help us do well in Tour of Lithuania, as Siskevicius certainly no longer has (did he ever?) the ability to do so. Our new rider's recovery may prevent him from achieving great success there, but I DONT CARE BRUV. In a swap deal, which sees Carpenter and Jallays leave Žalgiris, we have acquired Carlos Betancourt

Appreciate the kind words, I wouldn't call myself a promotion contender just yet, maybe if there are 7 teams promoting this year, a lot of big time leaders joined PCT this year, will be quite a spectacle. But I would agree that team has improved tremendously from last year, and we aren't even done yet!

Our transfers are pretty much complete.
We have added a couple pieces to round up our squad. We continue our Norwegian expansion by signing Kristian Dyrnes. His main selling point to us - great acceleration and fighter, as we will be looking to send him to races as a rogue, we don't believe he is suited for leadership, but definitely has the skillset for stage hunter.

And us acquiring the other rider was a bit shocking to us. Noone was touching him, even though he is still very capable, and he's been sitting in free agency chillin for days. The other Nepo brother, Yevgeni Nepomnyachsniy. He is a perfect domestique for us. Can climb, can TT, can breakaway, what else could you want?

We have also loaned out Beka Nareklishvili to continue his development in CT, so here's our most likely final (except stags) roster for 2021.

Gone for Keizer a couple of times over the years, though went for the Dane instead this time. He is an absolute tank and is gonna do great things.
Halvorsen is an amazing long term investment. I consciously tried to avoid big sprinters this year, but he really, really tempted me given his age, skill, and nationality. And Lekkessund as a top talent too looks so nice. Jealous for sure.
Really deep roster overall. Nice job.
