After a dramatic finish to last season where the team just managed to hang on by a single loose thread the team is fully motivated to take the opportunity and move up in this season with ambitions to remain in the division and possibly make a move into the upper places. Decisions on where the team focus will rely on this season are still not made, but rumour has it that there will be big changes in the lineup...
Although, the support of the Andorran federation remains, and the team keeps it's goal of developing young Pyrineen talent.

This is the team that emerged from this season's renewals. Harsh salary limitations forced some riders off the team including long-term riders of the team Bonaventure Uwizeyimana, also Richard Laningo Laizer and Carlos Baltazar have finished their important stints in the team.
From last season we say goodbye to Tiago Machado who was a fundamental piece in our last season regarding our maintenance, the unsuccessful trio of puncheurs of Dowsett, Barrio and Zordan, sprinters Kip, Colbrelli and Tzortzakis, cobbled god Bakari alongside some of the support crew for Summerhill Jiand and Sakala, and finally climbers Pantano and Seboka.
This is a major change in the team. The management is very happy to announce Danny Summerhill has signed for another season, he remains team leader and this year remains his high ambitions in the division and will also target the cobbled monuments as legend Sam Bewley is starting to feel the age in his legs. Summerhill was hired as the elemental part of the team, short and medium-term, and so it's fantastic to keep him on board aswell as his main support core of Marc Machado, Kireva, Dahl-Olsen, Eeckhout and returning to the team youngster Townsend. In total the riders that have remained in the team have accepted to stay with 67K less of salary which will allow the team to have a bit more freedom regarding the upcoming transfers. The Andorran base of the team remains as 4 of our nation's riders have resigned.
Transfers wise the team is eyeing some riders, with some solid budget to spend the ambitions are high, regarding possible trades except for Summerhill I'm open to hear offers.
Few riders should deliver so consistently as Summerhill, I would be surprised if he isn't worth his considerable salary at the end of the season. He is always a fun rider to report on as well, so I look forward to doing that again I also read the last sentence of your post with interest, maybe we can have a conversation once transfers start
Cunego - Yeah Summerhill maybe is a little overpaid but his salary still came down at the same time as he became the strong COB rider, he brings a lot of safe points, his support riders won't leave easily but I'm open to everything
Hoyle - Oh it will I've got big ambitions despite already having a big leader, but then again everyone has really high dreams!
