We're looking for PT team willing to take Simon Pellaud (75 hill hazardeur) on loan to max him out.

Jocelin Maillet is off the list, as his service is still needed in the upcoming season. Therefor the prices for Gatto and Fonseca dropped to an all time low.

Next to Pellaud is Patrick Lane available for a PT loan.

Andrea Manfredi will spend the season with KLM Cycling while Armindo Fonseca is on his way to Greece; to redirect him at least 150k have to be paid.

With Fonseca gone Oscar Gatto is the only one left to bargain. We're listening to any offer, but for 150k a deal thread is created right away.

Still looking for a Pro Tour team loaning in Simon Pellaud or Patrick Lane. Split wages are preferred, but aren't a requirement.

Here's closed until further notice.
All the loan deals are made and Oscar Gatto (most likely) will stay with the team another year.

As we now pretty much ensured a 20 rider squad for the upcoming season, Oscar Gatto returns to the mix. The minimum offer now is 160k, his wage still 80k.
He scored 83 points in last years PCT. 7th at Clasica San Sebastian and stage top5 at Volta a Portugal and Grand Prix Cyclistes were his best results.

Almost forgot, we've a loan spot available for riders willing to gain PCT experience.
We're able to take care of the majority of the wage in exchange for a small fee.

This morning Oscar Gatto pretty much forced his way into the office and voices serious complaints about the management handling his case...

Well, he's right. That's not a cattle market and not the way Vontobel wants to be represented in the public. We apologised and confirmed the contract both sides signed a few weeks ago.

"Oscar Gatto will be a valuable member of Team Vontobel in the upcoming season, his services were and will be appreciated."

We're still inviting a CT-team (or even PT-teams) to loan out a developing rider (lvl 2 or 3) to Vontobel.
