@sutty & Ian: thanks guys. Turgot is our Cobbles Leader, and will be supported by Coyot and also hopefully Pichot. All other riders are going to be domestiques to our leaders that are currently pending and awaiting approval

With the Sodexo ProCycling growing steadily, the Management Team thought this would be a good opportunity to formally introduce you to the some of the new recruiters.
Sébastien Turgot
(75 COB / 75 SP / 74 ACC) Wage: € 75,000 Signed from Ayubowan!, Sebastien was the first leader to join Sodexo ProCycling. Our man for the cobbles, he will be the one to look to when the going gets tough.
Jonathon Thire
(76 SP / 77 ACC) Wage: € 50,000 A Free Agent, Jonathon will be the main man in the Sprints, whether it is in lead-out to our proposed Sprint Leader, or as Second Sprinter in the lesser races.
Guillaume Bonnafond
(73 MO / 72 RES) Wage: € 50,000 Another Free Agent signing, Guillaume will be one of our main Climbing Domestiques, along with fellow Frenchman Christophe Kern, who was signed from In-n-Out Cycling Team Powered By Carrefour.
Nicolas Rousseau
(73 TT / 73 PRL /75 ACC) Wage: € 50,000 Signed as part of the deal involving Kern, Nicolas signed from In-n-Out Cycling Team Powered By Carrefour, and will be an integral part of Sodexo's TT squad and Lead-Out train.

Aha yes Turgot, still for me slightly over waged but could be a revalation in the CTour. Was never disgraced even at PT level - if cobbles are not selective he can be deadly in finish.
Some nice names - good luck

I'm really liking this team and I would even call it the best jersey in MG, now that Ville de Paris seems to be disbanded. Which funnily was also made by you
Really liking your signings too and I will definitely cheer for this team, since you seem to be focusing other areas than me

@smowz: Delighted to have signed Turgot. He should be a good asset to have in my first season. His SP and ACC will give us another option in the sprints as you say
@danny: I'm upset that my Ville de Paris jersey will not be visible in the MG peleton anymore... Thanks a lot! Happy with the Frenchness so far, and soon there will be some newer nationalities added
@jph27: I have no idea why, but I have always had him down as 125k for the wage! That mistake has nicely freed up 50k in wages

The Sodexo ProCycling Management end another productive day in the office, with many deal confirmations and transfer discussions ongoing, with a short announcement regarding some of the staff for the 2015 CT Season.
First up, we have Laurent Jalabert , who will be Sodexo ProCycling's Chief Directeur Sportif for the season. Former National French Champion, winner of the Vuelta a España, as well as the KoM & Points Jersey at the Tour de France, he will bring a wealth of experience to the team.
Second, we have another former National French Champion, and winner of two Paris-Roubaix race, Marc Madiot as Directeur Sportif. His experience, both on and off the road, will be vital throughout our inaugural Man Game Season.
Both are delighted to be part of the team, and can't wait to get underway.
*****
Just a reminder to keep your eyes peeled to the Sodexo ProCycling Twitter page and Man Game HQ, as tomorrow looks to be a day where some big deals for the team might be announced.
