Bienvenue à Le Creuset, M. Alan Boileau!
The first ever signing of the team is a young and promising Frenchman, who is likely to stay for some time. But right now he'll have to learn a lot while helping others to shine. We're pretty glad we signed him for the minimum wage of 50,000.

Bienvenue à Le Creuset, M. Julian Alaphilippe!
How happy we are to welcome Julian Alaphilippe at our team! He'll surely be one of the captains, especially for wins in flat or (not too) hilly races and stages. We're also happy with a reasonable 100,000 wage.
Spoiler | Julian Alaphilippe | 72 | 66 | 73 | 62 | 74 | 69 | 81 | 65 | 77 | 77 | 75 | 73 | 64 | 30 |

I was watching that battle for Julian closely. Best of lucky, he's had a solid MG career so far.

Alaphilippe is definitely a great signing, congrats  I'm not looking forward to facing him in hilly races 
And Boileau can be developed into a nice puncheur, well done to get him for min wage

Bienvenue à Le Creuset, M. Guillaume Boivin!
Another rider to lead the team in the sprints, french canadian Guillaume Boivin might already be above his prime, but with a wage of just 60,000 we're more than happy to sign him this early in the silly season.

Bun venit la Le Creuset, Arman Garibian!
Another young talent we signed for the minimum wage of 50,000, which we think is great as he has a potential of 6 and fairly decent stats for a neo-pro. Seeing some of the bidding wars going on on other talents of a similar quality, we're more than happy he flew so low under the radar that there's not even a picture of him

Bienvenue à Le Creuset, M. Joris Delbove!
Another French talent with a lot of room to develop, we're sure he's a good investment for just 50,000.

Bienvenue à Le Creuset, M. James Piccoli!
Signed as a decent mountain domestique, veteran french canadian James Piccoli fits well in the national focus of the team. And with a wage of 50,000, he fits the budget as well What else do we want?
Spoiler | James Piccoli | 66 | 72 | 70 | 61 | 66 | 71 | 71 | 58 | 58 | 64 | 67 | 64 | 60 | 31 |

Bienvenue à Le Creuset, M. Clement Chevrier
Another rider we're very happy to sign at the minimum wage of 50,000, we expect Clement Chevrier to be a good domestique for mountains and hills, who could also get some results of his own.

Bienvenidos a Le Creuset, señor Sebastian Henao!
And finally the very first rider we traded in as part of a deal (thanks to fellow CT team Tafjord for the good negotiations). Paying a fee of 100,000 and a wage of 70,000, we expect Sebastian Henao to be one of our leaders in the mountains.

Willkommen bei Le Creuset, Michael Gogl!
Michael Gogl joins us by trade, again with Tafjord, for the minimum fee of 70,000 and the same wage. He’ll be one of our stage hunters in hilly races.

Bienvenue à Le Creuset, M. Matis Louvel!
After a fierce bidding war with Bordeaux Métropole – Euskotren, we’re more than happy to present the young and talented Frenchman Matis Louvel. Although young, he’s actually the best paid rider in the team at the moment with a wage of 110,000. Nonetheless, with a potential of 6, just xp-Level 2 and his versatility we think he’s worth the investment and a future leader of the team.

Bienvenue à Le Creuset, M. Francois Bidard!
Another veteran, another mountain domestique, another 50,000 wage – but he already knows how to wear (kind of) dotted jerseys, so he’s more than qualified for our team by that alone
Spoiler | Francois Bidard | 69 | 73 | 70 | 60 | 67 | 72 | 72 | 60 | 63 | 69 | 73 | 64 | 59 | 30 |

Louvel is a really cool prospect, wanted to get in on the fun there but time didn't match up. Building a nice French core which is hard work this year

15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"

Very cool team so far!
I didn't really want to go deeper on Boivin, so happy he ends up on a team that values him dearly on 60k!
Also very happy to see his fellow alumni Piccoli being picked up! He was a valued dom for us for years but sadly couldn't warrant a place post relegation last year!

A nice battle it was for Louvel/Berthet, but I think we're both happy with what we have.
Can't wait to race against you! |

Bienvenue à Le Creuset, M. Alexandre Balmer!
Not French, but French speaking, Alexandre Balmer fits the focus of our team well enough – especially because he’s another promising talent to be build up. Not cheap with a wage of 85,000, but still cheaper than to have to buy him in a couple of years
Spoiler | Alexandre Balmer | 67 | 69 | 68 | 67 | 69 | 70 | 63 | 63 | 61 | 68 | 71 | 75 | 62 | 22 |
