Well I have to say that PM talks about transfers are currently not allowed I guess so everyone interested should write in the thread 
Figured it was same rules as before, allowed to declare interest but no talk of money/details of the deal?
The rules before were to declare interest only in the threads. Goes without saying that no money/details should be suggested until the actual transfers period.
I was sure that was the case at some point, my apologies. Makes no difference to me anyway. |

Well, we have swap deal offers left and right in HQs now if my eyes are okay. 
Gusev, hmm, maybe Metinvest can look to possibility of entering the cobbled fun?

End of Season Round-up
So the year is done and it's time to have a look back at how the racing went since our last report. Things kicked on with the Deutschland Tour.
It started well, the stage 2 TTT offering us another chance to prove our togetherness in that most brotherly of disciplines. We performed well, Dan Martin leading the team round in his recognisable Irish champion's jersey to 4th place, helping to set himself up for a GC tilt.
Dan stayed in the lead group and in overall contention through the subsequent hilly stages before confirming his GC aspirations with a fine if slightly disappointing ride to take 7th on the Rettenbachferner.
He cemented his 5th place overall in the final time trial to round off a good week.
From there we went to Portugal and its fair capital for the gently undulatin Lisbon Classic. We had no pretensions and were therefore pleasantly surprised with young gun Jonny McEvoy's top 10 finish in a bunch sprint.
Attentions subsequently turned to Northern Europe for its eponymous Tour and expectations were higher for this one, Phillipe's all-round abilities on hills and cobbles suiting the course that earned him a top 10 the year before. He started well with eighth in the prologue.
Strong riding in the hills on stage 2 put him in 5th place overall, a position he maintained across the flatlands, before dropping one after a disappointing TT performance. He climbed impressively through the Ardennes though and moved up further to 4th, ahead of the all important push over northern France's cobbles. To add a cherry to the cake, Gregory Rast had taken the lead in the King of the Mountains category. The cobbled stage was less selective than many had imagined and a large group containing Phillipe and all the other favourites finished together behind a break. There was nothing to do in the final stage except ride round the short circuit, Gregory getting in the break to protect his Mountains jersey.
He duly did, meaning we took him 4th overall, the KOM rankings and the team competition. Not a bad haul!
We stayed up in Northern Europe for Scandinavia's Copenhagen-Malmo TTT. We again showed our ability in this type of our race, taking 4th place as we caught Santander on the line to earn some valuable points in the relegation battle.
Anonymity reigned in a muffled end to the season with little of note gained from Praha-Karlovy Vary-Praha or the Tour of Tasmania while Phillipe missed out on a top 10 in the traditional finale that is the Giro di Lombardia.
So would it be enough to stay up?
Yes, and with some space to spare, coming in 14th. See you in 2014 PT! |

AMEXpc sees an opportunity to benefit both of our teams. A loan of Florian Senechal would give him an opportunity to build his cobbling skills on the best cobbles squad in the PCT. He would learn from Bernhard Eisel and Matti Breschel. We will ride in as many cobble races as possible and budget permitting we hope to enter a PT cobble race.

Project: Africa would just like to extend thanks to Pendleton's for taking care of Meron Russom in 2013. The team is happy to have him back with some great experience after riding in the Pro Tour.
We'd also just like to say thanks for the opportunity to loan Lutsenko. He brought some brilliant results, including a stage win and a yellow jersey in the Tour of the Middle East.

Pendleton's would like to do the same and are glad that the deal was mutually beneficial - we are sure that Meron returns a better rider to you and Lutsenko to us. We are pleased that Lutsenko managed to get some worthwhile results as a bonus while riding with you. Good luck next season and we look forward to any potential further transfer dealings with you. |

A mutually beneficial deal could potentially be worked out come transfer season. |
