Very nice squad there! Love the argentinian focus and the interview is written nice as well
I reckon this will be one of the most popular HQs of the season ...
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Based on last years Team's your really strong on sprints and mid-range hills and Mountain enough for around 7th-14th based on luck just look at Euskatel last year. |

sgdanny - Thanks a lot we try our best!
knockout - I'd like that. I'll do my best to keep this HQ updated frequently and always with a small story if possible
jt1109 - Would be great to make that top 10 in the CT standings, which is also one of our goals!
the_hoyle - Already looking forward to that! Though I don't wish to compete you on the cobbles  |

More arrivals at SanCor Cycling Team!
Sebastian Tolosa is an amazing sprinter. 27 years old, Tolosa is the perfect mix between youth and experience. He will assist Richeze during the season and go for a few chances of his own.
Michiel Van Aelbroeck is the exotic name in our company. The rider from Belgium is the only one not of the American continent. When establishing our team, we spoke of a potential European rider to guide our team. Europe is the heart of cycling, so we're happy to bring a rider in of whom cycling flows in his blood. He rides on the flat better than anyone and can time trial quite well. He'll be an excellent pilot for Richeze!
And, lastly, another big name as the Brazilian Rafael Andriato signed a contract with our team. Andriato is a very fast sprinter and will certainly compete for victory more than once. Besides that, he can take part in the lead-out for Richeze, which is becoming quite impressive, even if we say so ourselves.
*Due to a mistake, Sivori is listed twice.

18 riders, oh my! Really quality squad you've assembled here Ian, we'll be fun to follow around in CT, especially when it comes down to the sprints. Hope PCM will be kind to you.

Thanks, Shonak!
I'm pretty happy on the sprinting department. Still, I feel like I missed out on a few things trying to give Richeze the best possible lead-out.
The team's lacking serious mountain & hill power (don't even talk about cobbles  ), so we might pay for that during the season.
Still, we hope to end our debut season mid-table in the CT. Richeze will hopefully shine this season in his B World Champion jersey! |

Great squad you got there Ian, you will do great in the flat stages with Richeze in your line up (unless Mezgec is there of course ) Anyway great job! |

Certainly a great sprint train you've built up for Richeze there, Forero is getting rather worried! I'm sure the South American battle between the two will be interesting to watch over the season, best of luck

I think your sprint train should do well. Richeze is a great lead sprinter, and none of your sprinters are held back by a dreaded 50s hill stat.

jihardy - Cheers! Bring Mezgec on, looking forward to the battle
Stromeon - Yeah. I hope for a nice, intense but also friendly rivalry!
SN - Yeah, I think most have pretty good back-up stats. Nothing too fancy (like +70 hill), but they should suffice to take a few stages this season. Now the big question is: give Richeze a massive lead-out during all his season or give these guys some chances of their own and spread the talent out a bit? |

And we proudly present Jakstar22's newest creation. Max Richeze, the B World Champion, will fight for the SanCor colors in the upcoming season, wearing this kit:
This will boost his morale so hard we can't see him losing any sprint this season. #HighHopes

Cheers guys. Very happy with the shirt and the rider myself
I expect to finalize the team in the coming days. Probably two more riders joining the team in the near future
Also, we've had somewhat of a ManGame legend join our team. More details to follow later!

Our Transfer Period has come to an end! Later today we'll present our 21-men squad, including riders from:
Argentina: 14
Colombia: 3
Brazil: 1
Spain: 1
Venezuela: 1
Belgium: 1
19 riders brought into the team on a full contract and two loan deals. Obviously we're very happy with the 14/21 equation of Argentine riders and 19/21 South-American riders!
More details will follow!
