With a wage of 60k, this rider is total steal if you can get him. He's a great element for a TTT team, with a 76 in both timetrial and prologue, but the most important, he's one of the best flat powerhorses in the world. Not only because of his 79 in Flat, but his amazing back-up stats makes him perfect for late attacks, specially in "weaker" CT fields at the end of flat classics, like he showed with his win last year in Paris-Tours.

Also, he's the perfect fit for a team that focuses in sprint. There aren't many quality lead-out riders in the market for such a low wage. If you have a team that is the need of a complement for its TTT squad and also has quality sprinter that want to have always greatly positioned for a mass sprint, Morgan Kneisky is your men

Nakane is a pure domestique climber, useful in any team, specially those that have their focus on Eastern Asia. Not going to shine by himself, but he showed last year a true working spirit, sacrificing himself for the team's good and was a key member of Rafael Valls' crew that supported him in his CT Individual Crown chase. We aren't asking for a big fee for this rider, as he's only leaving after the team dropped his Japanese focus, and he has no room in the squad

2017 CT Individual Winner after winning Vuelta al Tachira, Tour de Langkawi and Tour d'Andorra, while also finishing in the podium of Giro del Trentino, Tour of Bulgaria and Tour of East Java (C1 race!!).

Valls is a solid rider for all divisions, a true dominator in CT, a solid leader in PCT and a secondary leader or luxury domestique for a GT contender. In a normal season, he should easily score around 500 points in PCT and close to that in PT, while in CT he has shown that he can lead a team to promotion, like he did with us in 2017

We are aware that because of his magic last year, his wage is surely a bit inflated for a rider of his type, so that's way we are not starting his bid with a really price. I'd like to get at the very least 600k for him (and that isn't an offer i would accept straight away unless something terrible happens along the way of transfers), and potentially a swap deal for a puncheur that can lead a PCT team might be considered, but cash only preferable.

It's also important to say that he's not a sure goner. If i don't get an offer that consider appropiate, he still can stay in the team

This Italian rider is the perfect domestique for a hilly leader in PT or PCT, or even a surprising underdog in CT for squad without a big hilly leader. See his Stamina and Resistance stats, you won't find something similar in the market for a 74 puncheur. Last season he scored over 100 points, including a stage win in Bayern-Rundfaht which led him to finish in the GC podium, while also got a Top8 in Zuri - Metzgete, and a Top12 in Euskal Bizikleta, despite having two! clear better hilly riders ahead of him in the team.

We are most looking for a swap with a cobbled rider that his wage is 60k or lower and has a cobbled stat of 76 or higher. But feel free to come with a money offer though!
