I guess so, Avin.

And indeed, the competition in Azerbeijan is going to be strong, according to goals of other teams. I will try to do my best, tho.

Yep Aidan, that really is long list but that is exactly what i wanted. If i lose fight for Ex-Yugoslovenian climbers, i will probably try to get some Italian, Romanian or even Bulgarian (waiting for TMM's reaction ) guys. We'll see. Thanks!

Some really interesting names to leave their current teams in next season. Might even get out of Balkan borders, when it comes to transfers!

— Team Nordeus (@teamnordeus) March 6, 2014

As the transfer season is slightly getting into final part, we decided to present you 3 of our riders, and not 3 random riders, but riders that will lead the team in coming season. Not much to say about, except that you should definitely take a look below!

Key stats/ HI 74, SP 76, ACC 74
Grega is surely guy our team wanted to have from our establishment and now we finally managed to get him. Bole will lead our team in most of one-day classics.

Key stats/ REC 80, SP 76, ACC 76
Tiziano will surely be team's first sprinter in this season. With his great supporting stats, he'll be able to get few flat classics aswell.

Yasmani will be our leader in stage-races and he'll surely get few stage and GC wins with his great all-around abilities.

See ya next time, when we're going to present you full squad.

Thanks alot, cunego59. The idea is "stolen" from tsmoha's NRS series, but i changed it a bit. New feature in this HQ will be up soon, you'll see what it is...

But before that, check out our Squad for 2014, made of 16 great riders. You can see it if you click here.

From this point, i'll start the feature i was talking about before and it will be called "Meet the Squad". Shortly, i will present to you every rider that will ride under the colours of Nordeus in upcoming 2014 season and that's pretty much it. There's nothing to wait for, so let's start. We'll start from the riders we signed last, including stagiares and loanees.


As the last rider who joined our squad and closed any other entries for 2014 season, Julian is the first one to be presented here. Actually, Julian is our first and only loanee this season and he's loaned in from Metinvest - Emirates PCT team. Julian was part of the Pivovarna Lasko team back in 2013, but since the team disbanded this year, he gone FA. His wage is 120k, but Team Nordeus does not pay any cent.

He's great all-arounder, with sprint as his main ability. He'll surely be one of our main helpers and fighters. He'll try his chance in many attacks and get some experience before the end of the season.

Thanks, i will surely do this for all 18 riders of this years squad!
Yup, he's on 6 potential, shame he's the loaned in from Metinvest.

Thanks alot, tsmoha. You did great job on that profiles-layouts so i thought it would be nice to give you credits for it.

Just for info, there will be alot of these little features throught the season, so i am pretty sure this one will be one of most updated HQs in whole game.

Bole's surely great rider, as he can be great puncheur and sprinter in the same time, but we do have few more good guys such as Martinez, Dall'Antonia... Not that we expect some huge results this year, but we'll see!

Thanks alot, Avin! I hopes so.

Nawuti is our only stagiare for this year aswell, and he was signed in about same time as Julian was. Our main idea is to send him to Avenir and few more races that are held late in the season. If he shows some good skills, he maybe become fully member of team in next season.

It will be better for him to justify expectations that way. All in all, Nawuti should be great addition to team once he joins us in August. He can be great helper in mountains and good water carrier from times to times.

The 16th rider that we signed is clearly one of the best riders in our team and one of our main targets in pre-transfer season. Of course, it's Grega Bole. Grega is, as you can see from the stats below, great all arounder whoi should bring us alot of points in any kind of flat/sprint or hilly terrain

[img-l]https://www.dodaj.rs/f/17/ce/3LPd5aK5/gregabole.png[/img-l][img-l]https://www.dodaj.rs/f/1r/vj/19MS1K68/theblankspace.png[/img-l]As 29 years old, Bole will surely ride for our team in next few seasons, but it's early to speak about that. Anyways, Grega's personal goal for this season is reaching Top 20 in Individual rankings at the end of the season. Someone calls that 'unrealistic', we call that 'very possible'. Also, Bole will surely represent our team as we deserven in some hilly HC classics we selected for Wildcard.

No way that Geschke can beat Bole! No waaaaay!

Thanks, once again. Corrected that little mistake on Liphongyu's surname, Sammy.

We really hope that Bole can bring us alot of points this season and Top 5 individually would be great. He has great support stats, great sprint stat, great hill stat, great acceleration, now let's just pray that PCM AI won't fuck up at some decisive moments, as it knows to do very often.
