Two very solid signings. Lecerf was high on my priority list aswell, so picking him up for 100K, when he immidiately drops to 50K after this season is a very good signing!

Liking the new identity of the team. Lecerf is a great future dom (or more) and easy to max yourself, and Van Hemelen will also be a very useful asset in the De Lie train , congratulations on the first nice signings!

These are some nice regional talents already! I have lost track of what you've been cooking in deals so far, but I'm curious to see how you ended there.

Thank you everyone! Very happy with both. Van Hemelen should be valuable "forever" with Fabian training, and eventhough Lecerf lacks a little sta, I still think he has potential as a GT breakaway scorer. At least that was the thinking behind the moves.
As it looks right now, though, they're the only two Belgians joining, so the rebuild will be a long one. Almost feels as if there's Belgian tax going on...   |

During early days of transfer season, we weakened the team severly in the domestique department, also thinking sprints would be a big focus for us. It turned out we had to completely shift plans due to circumstanses, which also left Valter with very limited support. We quickly tried to do something about it, though, trying to bring in riders to carry bottles for him and protect him in the Ardennes and other hilly races.
With that background, we're very happy to present Kevin Geniets and Ben Healy as Aker - Ab InBev riders! We think both are perfect to fill roles in the team, especially around Valter, and they will surely get endless amount of those racedays this season. Both being south of 30 years old is also a bonus, especially as they both have the potential of getting renewed on the same wage as they have signed now, 50k.

Not spectacular but just very solid domestiques signed for cheap. I approve!
