Looking for Some More Money
Only a day after the president of In-n-Out racing p/b Auchan, announced that his transfer were over, he is now looking for another sponsor to give him that money.
Reports coming out of the team are saying that we're is looking for an equipment sponsor, even though Lapierre is already signed on as a sponsor for the team.
La pierre said they are ready to withdraw their sponsorship and cash investments in the team if a problem occurs.

We find the money and a New Rider
We have come to terms with Trek to be an equipment sponsors for the team. However, he was also able to convince lapierre to stay as a normal sponsor.
The team will lose some money the lapierre has with drawn from the team's budget, but they will easily make up for it with all the money Trek is giving them.
And with that money, we went out and bought veteran Climber Rémy Di Gregorio for an astounding 155k. Many people think that this is wildly over paying a good climber who isnt great in any other parts of cycling. However we responded by saying, "Experience is invaluable" and countinued by saying, "Remi has had a good career so far and he should be able to bolster our team by mentoring people and with his abbilities on the course"
Di Gregorio has had a pretty succesful career so far as he's had a top 25 finish in the Giro D'italia, Tour of California and the Tour of Romandie but he's decided to head back to the CT level this year.

In-n-Out P/b Auchan Announced Stagiares
On the heels of their salary issues, In-n-Out p/b Auchan has announced the signings of their Stagiares who will each ride 15 days starting in August
the First is James Oram from New Zealand. Oram specializes in Time trailing, but he can also sprint a little. Oram was signed for 20k, he was one of the only Stagiares signed at that price which shows their level of confidence in him.
Next is the Columbian Brayan Ramirez who is a sprinter which is the contrary to his Columbian Friends, most of which are Climbers. But, for a sprint his age he can get up hills pretty well. Brayan has a very nice sprinting kick and at the age of 22 he should be able to develop nicely
Finally is frenchman Alexis Dulin who is expected to develop into a very nice climber. Dulin should gain some valuable experience while riding next Di Gregorio.
Stats:
| Last name | FL | MT | HL | TT | STA | RES | REC | COB | SP | ACC | FTR | DH | PRL | Country | | Oram | 69 | 56 | 63 | 72 | 68 | 68 | 64 | 57 | 66 | 68 | 64 | 63 | 72 |  | | Dulin | 65 | 68 | 66 | 63 | 70 | 68 | 64 | 50 | 56 | 59 | 69 | 61 | 63 | | | Ramirez | 63 | 62 | 64 | 62 | 66 | 65 | 59 | 52 | 70 | 68 | 59 | 62 | 62 |  |

Now, we're gonna start a new segment in this HQ called "interrogations"
This is where we will be interviewing riders about anything from their Schedule this season to how much they hate French food.
Here we go!
(SC = Sylvain Chavanel, INT = Interviewer)
INT= Thanks for coming Sylvain and being the first of our new segment: Interrogations!
SC= How much are you paying me for this again?
INT= Won't be hard to pay you more then your wage (Laughs)
SC= Very funny
INT= Alright now that we're already there, let me ask if I may, do you think you're getting payed enough as someone who's gotten a top 10 on Liege - Baston - Liege and Paris Nice and not to mention your victory in the Fleche Wallone
SC= don't forget my Victory on stage 19 of the 2012 Tour de France
INT= Ah yes!
SC= Honestly, no I dont think I'm being payed enough, but the contract I have at the moment is the one that was made with AMEXpc, now that I'm with In-n-Out, I'm sure that they'll give me a raise the moment they are able to
INT= You think they have that much confidence in you?
SC= Of course, I mean they bought me for 100k, they wouldn't do that unless they really needed me
INT= Interesting, now regarding that transfer, were you happy to leave that team?
SC= I'm not gonna lie I wasn't really sad like some other are when they leave, of course I knew I was gonna miss some of my friends there, but as I aproach the end of my career, it feels good to ride in a lower division and mentor some of the sport's future stars
INT= let me quote you, "Aproach the end of my career", are you hinting at anything there?
SC= *Laughs*
INT= Alright, thanks for coming Sylvain and being the first one on "Interrogations"
SC= Anytime

Stagiare Oram Does Well in Crit Series
James Oram Riding in the Scotty Browns Vision Jersey
Stagiare James Oram recently rode in the series of crits. called the Bay Cycling Classic.
Oram did great in stage one as he was in the break, but unfortunately they were caught during the final sprint, but he still finished 8th
James didn't do anything the in the rest of the crits, still great to see one of our young riders do as well as he did.

Wow, that's a lot of race days of your leaders to throw away at C1 level. I'm not sure that'll pay off for you even with a depleted startlist. |

My team is a perfect example of that.
Rodas might get a top 10 in the GC while Sweeting might grab a few top 10s, 5s, depending on how strong the sprinting field is. |

More happy then when we rode for CSC-Orbea...? I doubt it. 
Good luck to Rodas, I'll be cheering for him at the Tour of America since we won't be traveling there this season.

Rodas is certainly a good rider to have on board, he was one of our targets.
I believe he's from Colombia, though

Not really. Maxime's team has 150 total race days and a good 70+ (maybe 85+) of those race days will have little chance for Rodas to do anything. Given the fact Rodas will have more than 60 race days it seems the sensible decision to send him to the Tour of America........ |
