Sep Vanmarcke is truly a rider for all three divisions. With a wage of € 185,000 and a key stat of 80 cobbles.
Capable of regular top 10s at PT level, while a move down to either lower division could give him a well earned chance to fight for victories, without taking a big chunk out of anyone's salary cap.
Up for Offers
Our two big signings of last season both delivered excellent seasons, and we'd be happy to keep them both. But equally, we've not had chance to get too nostalgic over them just yet - so we'll certainly be considering offers for them both.
Nico Keinath certainly flourished in red. Finishing 33rd in the ProTour standings, as our 2nd best rider. He has a wage of € 240,000 and stats of 79 MO, 76 Hill and 75 TT.
With a Tour de France stage win and 9th overall, then 3rd at Volta Portugal, 7th at Tasmania and 9th at the Dauphine, he had an excellent season. It will take a strong offer to see him leave, but you never know what could happen.
Leopold König lit up the stage of the year at the Giro d'Italia, with his stats of 79 MO, 75 Hill and 74 TT. And yet, he was happy to renew at € 160,000.
His aggressive Giro saw him to 12th overall and 2nd in the KoM competition, which he backed up with some strong support riding of Andy Schleck at the Vuelta - then ending the season with triumph at the Czech national championships.
