3's & 7's Cycling Management news
So the season has finished and that means that we are currently without any sponsorship so the license holders/management name shows up for now until we have some news here.
In other news we can say that it looks very likely that we won't renew the contract with Damiano Cunego a last minute surprise just could change that now.
And at last those waiting for a team HQ 1st post update plus the 2nd part of the season writing that will be done after the national championships.

Rumours: Bakelandts
There are rumours around the HQ that the manager is interested in getting Jan Bakelandts.
It is said that the manager has said infront of the management: "We need to get him at any price."

Yep and I am willing to bet that my definition of "at any price" is much higher 
Not only that but I think Crommy said he is chasing after him too.

Announcement
We are pleased to announce that our team 2014 will be "Lotto - Australia Post".
Also we are going to switch over to Scott bikes.
Additional information: We look into having at least 4 belgians and 4 australians in the team but that doesn't mean we are looking into just those countries as we still look for internationality.

Maxime Monfort - will be resigned - up for transfer (needs a very very good offer) - PCT
Michael Vanderaerden - will be resigned - up for transfer - PCT
Lars Croket - will be resigned - will be kept
Jude Libert - will be resigned - will be kept
Gerald Ciolek - will be resigned - will be transfered - PCT
Andreas Stauff - will be resigned - will be kept

One name is missing: Damiano Cunego.
Thats a special case. I would like to keep him but, obviously, the wage is too high.
So we will be very agressive here on that part and if we can't agree, he will be released.
What are we looking for:
- Belgians and Australians - no minimum requirement here
- Otherwise we look after 82+ sprinters, 80+ ardennes classic riders, 80+ cobblers, 80+ mountain goats

One name should already be in my team for 2 seasons now. 
That said there are more interesting riders and we will surely have to talk during transfers. |

Now that we relegated, our focus has changed a bit from the last time we communicated in this thread.
Puma is very interested in Gerald Ciolek and Maxime Monfort, possibly in Ole Hirschlein as well. (+Vanderaerden to an extent)
We understand your reluctance to sell Monfort, but we'll see whether we can find an appealing deal.
I could certainly envisage a swap deal including at least one of the leaders and a Puma rider that meets your requirements
Whether that rider will even be available has to be evaluated during renewals and pre-transfer season talks though, but this would certainly be one of our favourite plans.

@ roturn: Do you mean Vanaerderen?
@ cio: I see a rider in your team that would make me transferring Monfort 
And in both teams there are Belgians I would like to have <3

I hoped you would see two or three
And none of our Belgians is absolutely sure to stay (with 3 of 4 rather readily available at the moment), so we could find common ground here, at least for Ciolek.

Resistance is futile. Ask Sagan. And look at my name.
Will be interesting to see what kind of deal you can offer.

Team CSC-Orbea is interested in all of your  Spanish aging climbers.
We are looking to another some well needed depth to our squad.

Name of Piotr Mazur sounds interesting to the ears of Metinvest-Emirates management, be ready to hear from our side in the transfer period.
