 Netia - Vónin 
*Early Access HQ, Glitter and Banners will be added ASAP
Supporter of Polish cycling since 2015, Telecommunications company Netia will once again sponsor a Pro Continental teams, this year however, with the abandon of Norkse Skog. Faroe based fishing enterprise Vónin will join them with aims to develop cycling in the Faroe Islands and to increase their prominence both globally and in Northern Europe. We look forward to the upcoming 2017 in partnership with Netia and Vónin!
Netia - Vónin, Polski Rowerowy na Światowej scenie!
Thanks to the excellent Krisa of Rapha, we will race in this stunning jersey for the 2017 season. He inverted our colour scheme this season and went for a retro style, producing an excellent piece of work!
Name: Netia
Industry: Telecommunications
Sponsor Status: Main Sponsor (Title Sponsor)
Focus Nations: Poland, Rest of Eastern Europe, Germany*
Conditions: Michal Kwiatkowski, Minimum 40% Polish and 50% Eastern European Squad
Netia has been with our team from the start and shows no signs of giving up their sponsorship, content with our teams results every season, with last seasons Bayern Rundfahrt win by Luis Leon Sanchez and Prezemyslaw Kasperkiewicz's U23 World Championships victory on Polish soil being particularly important to them. This season however they wish for us to put Polish star Michal Kwiatkowski on our roster at all costs and to continue developing the future of Polish cycling, which we will gladly try to achieve.
Name: Vónin
Industry: Fishing and Aquaculture
Sponsor Status: Co-Sponsor (Title Sponsor)
Focus Nations: Faroe Islands, Denmark, Norway, Greenland, Iceland, Russia*, Lithuania* and Canada*
Conditions: Minimum 4 Faroe Riders and 2 Danish Riders
Vónin's main goal is to improve their image in Northern Europe and their countries of operation but they also want to see Faroe cyclists have a representation on the world stage, especially with talented riders such as Torkil Veyhe beginning to come through. They don't require too much of us this season aside from placing a few more Faroes on our roster and achieving some quality results. Which we are happy to endeavour to achieve.
Minor Sponsors:
 Guerciotti (Cycling Equipment)
Przewozy Regionalne (Rail Transport)
 Rapha (Sportswear)
 Tarkett (Flooring)
 Sandvik (Engineering)
 Shimano (Cycling Equipment)
Gaerne (Cycling Equipment)

We have a bad reputation with renewals and after overpaying our riders massively last season, we decided to focus on doing the opposite this season, unfortunately, we put several riders off with low offers, while there were many that we could not continue to support as they entered their older years but rather than dwell on our stupidity in the past, we prefer to tell about the present, as our remaining riders were quite willing to accept a fair wage:
| Rider | Average | Wage | Availability | | Petar Panayotov | 75.14 | 134,000 | Yes | | Luis Leon Sanchez | 74.86 | 200,000 | Yes | | Matteo Rabottini | 73.92 | 50,000 | Maybe | | Karol Andrzej Domagalski | 73.76 | 50,000 | Unlikely | | Adrian Honkisz | 73.27 | 50,000 | Unlikely | | Adam Stachowiak | 72.92 | 60,000 | No | | Michael Morkov | 72.90 | 50,000 | Likely | | Pawel Franczak | 72.17 | 50,000 | Maybe | | Pawel Bernas | 71.88 | 50,000 | No | | Przemyslaw Kasperkiewicz | 71.55 | 140,000 | No | | Morten Reckweg | 70.43 | 50,000 | Unlikely | | Torkil Veyhe | 65.61 | 50,000 | No |

Very stylish new jersey and an interesting new direction with Vonin  You had a very solid debut PCT season and that base looks very nice despite letting quite a few riders go  Will be very interesting to follow you again during transfers and the main season

Some interestingly low wages for some guys here. Nice job. I guess they won't be needed on your team anymore then.

Thanks guys 
@BBL - Yeah, their wages are way too low for our team's trademark standards, We'll likely need to sell a couple and replace them with some properly overpayed riders.

@WhiteJersey - We sign Kwiatek, there are no other outcomes. If somebody wants to overbid us, they'll spend so much that they'll relegate.
Sanchez and Panayotov may not stay on board!
As we near the beginning of the transfer season, the manager of Polish Pro Continental Team Netia - V�nin has hinted at a possible reshuffle of the team order, with none other than last season's headliner Luis Leon Sanchez being considered for a transfer as well as Bulgarian Climber Petar Panayotov. He stated "Both riders are coming from extremely different angles in terms of their history, but both have expressed wishes to compete in the Continental Division, while we want to keep these great riders on board, we will consider selling them during the upcoming transfer season."
Sanchez finished 5th in the Pro Continental Rider Standings last season, with victories in Strade Bianche and Bayern Rundfahrt, alongside podiums in the Giro dell'Emilia, Tour of Ukraine, Classica San Sebastian and a top 20 finish in none other than the Tour de France. The previous season, the spaniard assisted Latvian Evonik - ELKO in promoting by winning the Pro Continental Individual Standings. The Netia Manager was quoted saying "Leon, he's a great guy and he's got this great winning mentality about him but now that he is getting older, he perhaps isn't as suited to PCT racing, however he knows he can still contest the win in the Individual Rider Standings for the Continental Division next season and has taken a pay cut in the hope that he may be given the opportunity to participate in the lower division this season."
Petar on the other hand was lacklustre in the PCT but the Netia manager has positive thoughts about him too "Petar just lacks that top end stuff for the PCT, he's good but you've got guys who can finish on the podium in a Grand Tour to fight against, next season he has two options, continue in the PCT, likely as a superdomestique next season or move to the CT division, where he will be one of the strongest climbers in the division and be able to contest proper race victories, particularly his home race in the Tour of Bulgaria."

Sorry, but I may take a pass on both Sanchez and Panayotov - they're way over my budget
EDIT: Zeits was a transfer flop, I'm affraid

Indeed, it seems that you must in order to properly preserve the team identity.

@Tamijo - I'm sure he was already enjoying it based on the hectic stuff he was doing in the TDF.
@Ivan - Well there wages are pretty low really and for the riders they are likely lower than you'd get for either off the FA. 
Also, Zeits underperformed a bit but then he was a 76hl rider sold for 0k fee in the season where unfortunately some teams signed 80hl riders rather than the 78hl high the season before. Still no obligation to buy them.
@BBL - Fortunately, we have a knack for overpaying riders.

Both will cost me 334k in wages alone if I decide to gamble on them. According to my calculations if I keep my current roster and add LL Sanchez and Panayotov it will leave me with just 36k left, which may be insufficient to sign normal player (3 stagieres however will be done). Which means that I may need to either sell or loan some of my current riders. I need riders that will help me gain PCT promotion.

You don't have to buy them both together, you can just buy 1 rider.

Well, Netia sounds like a picky sponsor, but I'm sure Kwiat will be adored by the Netia - Vónin fans
We'll definitely be in touch about some other Poles. Bring on tomorrow!

There the only sponsor I've continuously met the self imposed demands of (poor Norske Skog, wanted 4 Norweigens and got 1 weak rider plus a bunch of Danes ) So I'll take them. And who can really blame them for wanting the best Pole out there?
Hopefully we'll have some good talks once transfers get going then!

Your other posts here already sort of gave away that intention and therefore I'm keeping this post up, but please, this is already crossing the line when it comes to the no pretransfers talk rule. Please have the decency to wait an additional 13 hours and 21 minutes before posting this kind of stuff
