There's never a dull transfers season for Jaguar-Eritel, and the exit door will once again be open to at least one of my team leaders.
Dowsett, Bibby and Bennett are set to be the leaders this year. Ensuring they have adequate support could be a key part of our transfers - unless we spot another rider to join them in leadership. Tennant currently heads up the support team.
We have a number of riders who need experience this season. We would like to keep Teklehaimanot in team if it is possible to max him out, but that will not be easy. Certainly our other Level 4 riders will need ProTour experience in order to max out. Many level 3 riders will be able to stay at Jaguar, but we have so many that we may look to either loan out some, or just sell them!
For everybody else, let's wait and see. Chris Froome is most definately for sale, Ian Stannard is also unlikely to be kept. Some riders will be left to the free agency to allow more flexibility for the team in the transfers - and if there ends up being space, we may even look to re-sign them again during transfers.

Definitely interested in most of the riders, especially Danny T. I expect that he'd be reluctant to leave, but we'll have to wait and see
Considering that I traded Kennaugh away to get him, good luck with that
I'm sure we'll come into contact a lot in transfers. From that list, Petrus, Berhane and especially Hussein are all riders we're very interested in and it would be great if you were willing to let them go, and let us strengthen our African core!
