Two very nice transfers to further strengthen the squad. Gallopin big name but not the real life verison unfortunately, still a very nice addition!

@shonak: I know Gallopin isn't the same as IRL, however, he will be our main TT for this season
@Ian: He is on only 70k!

I hope you don't expect Haddou to score at this level  I think he got 13 points last year in CT and 1 point in PCT the year before the Hills just kill the poor man:/
Now on the positive side Turgot did well in PCT cobbled races last season I expect him to have a really good year in CT |

A few days ago, Sodexo ProCycling's adventures in the Transfer Market came to a close, with no less than FIVE deals being signed and confirmed in the space of 12 hours.
Tony Hurel
(75 SP / 75 ACC) Wage: € 50,000 Another sprinter in the team, and other rider who will be both lead-out as well riding for himself if the race and route suits him.
Alexis Gougeard
(75 HIL / 76 FTR) Wage: € 50,000 Joining on loan from Festina-Canal+, Alexis will be given his chance to shine in the Hilly Races, as well as looking to learn from Mikaël Chérel, who also one of the five final signings.
Hichem Chaabane
(72 MO / 72 HIL) Wage: € 50,000 Third of three non-French riders on the team, Hichem will be one of the domestiques to fellow Algerian Nabil Baz, as well as offering support to Chérel and Gougeard on the hills.
With a total of 19 riders (16 French, 2 Algerians and 1 Tunisian), the Sodexo Management are very happy with the size of the team, and are looking forward to our inaugural Man Game season.

Very nice (late) additions to the squad and strong national focus. Impressive.

@shonak: It was all finalised on Friday, but a busy weekend meant that the announcement came today I'm impressed with the level of national focus. I thought I would be more difficult given the new and existing French sponsored teams

With the Transfer Season over for 2015, the Sodexo ProCycling Management and newly appointed Directeur Sportifs will now assemble the squad, in Paris, to discuss the plans and schedule for the forthcoming inaurgural ManGame season.
Whilst we are unable to reveal at this moment to the full 2015 Calendar, we are delighted to have been told that all applications to the different races over the season have been granted, and some exciting racing, across many different countries lies ahead.
Over the coming week, the first pictures of the Sodexo training camp will be posted, as well as one oe two rider interviews and one final Management appointment. In other words, stay tuned to the Sodexo HQ.

Following some big news behind the scenes at Sodexo ProCycling (the engagement of Team Manager the_hoyle and the soon-to-be Mrs the_hoyle), we can only apologies for the lack updates recently.
Away from the exciting engagement news, a new Staff member was added to the Sodexo Team. Tour de France stage winner, and Yellow Jersey wearer, Jean-Patrick Nazon will add his expertise in the Sprints, and hopes his experience will be of benefit, alongside Jalabert and Madiot.

I didn`t know Nazon ever won a stage in the Tour. I am very, very sure about this.
But I remember him as former control rider for the reporter team. So he might at least have a Tour participation. |

Congrats on getting engaged, obviously more important than your MG HQ.
Interesting to see so many big names join the project, surely puts a lot of pressure on the team already - wouldn't want to have those names stuck in the CT for another year!

@@Roturn: Yes, the results mentioned for the staff are pre-MG, as Froome mentioned, so didn't think that mentioning results would cause too much confusion
@dippo: Thanks a lot! I am excused by the MG members for that We have a solid management base, and there is no pressure to perform this first season. The pre-season previews have shown that we will towards the bottom, but it is all about building on from here and looking to prove those people wrong
