Just a quick 24-hrs later update on the situation of these riders: a deal has only been struck for Cyrile Thiery, who will go for just 100k unless someone knocks at my door with a slightly better (cash) offer.
Interest has been shown for pretty much all of these riders, in particular Koren, Malacarne and Pedrero, but no concrete, official offers for any of them except for Ovechkin who got a minimum offer only.
PT and PCT teams looking for domestiques! CT teams looking for leaders! Snatch my PCT-winning riders off my hands
Quick update on the situation of a few riders with 1 hour and 15 minutes until the trade market officially opens.
Cyrile Thiery and Antonio Pedrero look to be heading out of Generali's headquarters with a fee of 100k each. Please only PM about them or make an offer in the threads if you would like to propose an increase of 50k or more.
Rafael Silva had some tenative interest for around 200k, but no deal has been completed yet. Some interest for the most intriguing rider in here, Kristjan Koren, but nothing concrete yet.
I've also received an inquiry for Davide Malacarne, who could go for the requested 100k, but no agreement has been found yet. Rudy Molard received interest for around the minimum transfer fee, as did Artem Ovechkin, but no deal has been struck either in this case.
No particular interest for Pierre Rolland and Bart De Clercq yet, I could pack the latter in a deal for any of the riders above if that's your preference, let me know.
I'd just like to mention that if you're interested in any of these riders but don't think you could meet the initial asking price, shoot me a PM either way! The prices are obviously negotiable and different formulations could be found, i.e. more than 1 of my riders could be inserted in a potential deal.
Quick recap of the asking prices for each rider with no deal yet:
Thiery and Pedrero have parted ways with my team, their deals haven't been sealed yet, but it would take interesting increases for me to consider accepting.
I've added two new riders that could potentially leave my team to the first post. They're Gaetan Bille and Marco Canola.
Gaetan Bille
73,77
€ 50.000
77 PRL, 74 HI, 72 SP
Marco Canola
73,19
€ 50.000
75 SP, 76 ACC, 73 HI
Gaetan Bille is one of the all-around riders in my team that I'd hate to lose but that I might have to sacrifice for financial reasons. He's a really unique rider that is perfect when you wanna plan a race and add a domestique that can do it all. 77 PRL paired with 73 TT, as well as 74 HI and 72 SP/75 ACC, means he can help you whether you want to win a TTT, a prologue or hilly TT at CT level, or just want a valuable domestiques in classics and stage races. I'm not really giving him away at this point so if you're able to get 200k for him I'd be happy to see him in your team, especially considering he's very cheap at 50k wage.
Marco Canola is the classic domestique you want at PT level or as a leader in CT: 75 SP, 76 ACC, 73 HI, good backups, ok TT, I'll let you draw your preferred conclusions. He's been part of breaks in the past even, and if they do get to the finish his sprint will be invaluable. 100k is the asking price for him as well.
The post above still stands for all the other riders, they're still all available, so if you're interested shoot me a PM and I'm sure we can work something out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On another note, I'm interested in cobbles domestiques with good backup stats on not too high wages. So if you think I might be interested in one of your riders and we haven't talked about them already, let me know by PM either here or on Skype.
Due to a sudden slight change of plans, most of the riders might have just gotten a bit cheaper. I'm therefore going to be accepting lower offers for all the riders below. All the prices can, obviously, be slightly negotiated, and several formulations, including multiple rider trades, can still be found:
Rider
OVL

74,75
€ 92.000

I've received enquiries for most of these riders. There's interest for Koren at around 250k, for Silva, for Malacarne and Canola in a deal together, and for Ovechkin at 50k, but I will only immediately accept offers if they meet the price tag above, in the right-most column of the latest table.
These are all high quality riders that have brought me a lot of success in PCT, and they might do the same for your team
Interest was shown for Silva and Bille for around their asking prices so a deal thread might be put up later, but nothing is certain yet. Some inquiries about Rolland too, but nothing concrete about anyone else. Come get one of my bargains while they're still up for sale! Prices negotiable
If anyone of you have riders that could be valuable pieces for PT, and their wage is 90k or lower, I might have a bit of leftover cash to spend on them. If they're a bit more expensive and I really like the rider, we can probably still arrange a deal that involves a domestique of mine
Likewise, if you have a good Lvl 4 rider that you'd like to max out in PT and haven't found any takers, send a PM my way! I still have 80k loan cap that I could spend on your guy. Most wage splits are possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I did manage to strike deals for 4 riders yesterday evening, so barring any unexpected late outbids, Koren & Ovechkin together, as well as Malacarne and Bille, look like they'll head straight to their respective new teams - cycleYorkshire, Eddie Stobart and GCN, 3 Britain-based teams
Some interest was shown for Silva and Rolland in a combined deal, so a thread might be opened for them later this evening. There's still time to make me aware of your interest for either of them though.
The only rider that has yet to receive any particular interest is Marco Canola, for whom an advert thread was opened yesterday if you want to check his strengths out in more detail. In short, 50k wage and 50k fee and you get yourself the best punchy sprinter you can still find on sale or in the Free Agency - you can check, no other rider with his kind of stats combo is left for you to get for so cheap!
Deals have been found for Silva and Canola, respectively for 150k and 50k. This means that Pierre Rolland, 55k wage, going for the absolute minimum fee(55k), is the last rider I'd like to sell before my transfers can be done and dusted.
I've already made enough of a case for why you should get him in his dedicated advert thread: https://pcmdaily...._id=54432, so I'll just remind you he's a 76 TT rider with a nice 73 MO and good backups and he's going for 55k Edited by matt17br on 27-09-2019 16:36
Our last rider on sale, Pierre Rolland, has now found a new home too, joining his former teammate Rafael Silva, who also got dealt to Rakuten Pro Cycling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm looking to make one last move before calling it a wrap on these transfers, I'd either loan in a useful Lvl 4.x rider to max him out while paying his full wage (as long as it's <=90k), or trade for a good rider on <=90k wage while being able to pay you a 255k fee. Send your riders my way!
