After promotion and rebranding, Jura - Fiat are looking out for leaders in almost any terrains - more precisely the following:
- Mountains/stage races
- TTs
- Cobbles
We will carefully check any offer for a rider who could really help us there - in addition to ourselves contacting managers of riders who we feel would be a great fit.
But in order to bring in some more firepower, we know we'll likely have to say goodbye to some riders. The following ones are "particularly available" - something that could of course easily change during transfers!

Andrea obviously is a pure climber, who has been a really solid asset in CT. His highlight was of course winning the Tour de Romandie's queen stage last year - of course thanks to his great fighting spirit! He might get even more freedom to attack in PCT, so we wouldn't be unhappy to see him stay, either - but he could definitely be sold as well!

Fabian and Andrea are very similar riders - which is why we'd like to sell/trade one of them, but definitely not both. Both are good puncheurs with nice acceleration and a solid sprint. Although Fabian should be a great attacker due to his character trait, he unfortunately didn't show that last season. Maybe that will work out better with another team? Andrea on the other hand did have some breakaway appearances for Volvo, where he completed his development last season.
As a Swiss team, we'd obviously prefer keeping the local rider - but if the offer is right, everything can be discussed!

Despite being 28 years old, Max hasn't finished his development yet. He'd definitely need a PT loan this year - but given that we already have a very similar (but slightly stronger) rider in Thomas Boudat, we could very well imagine selling Max. He has already had some pretty strong results even in C2HC races as a level 3 rider, so we're sure he would be a great asset for any CT or even PCT sprint train! And even more next year of course, when he'll be a 79/79 sprinter.
Mirco has already left his top level behind, but he's still a very valuable domestiques in mountain races. Given that this holds for some others on the team as well, we're considering selling him - we're sure he still has a very good CT season in his legs!

"Pernie" was an extremely valuable domestique for Gianni Moscon last season. But now that Fausto Masnada has maxed out, we again have two pretty similar riders, with the Italian being younger and stronger. Although our Austrian is really happy to be on the team (despite some rumors comparing him to a slave), we wouldn't force him to stay if he gets the chance to have an important position on another team next season!

Theo obviously was THE big star last year, finishing 3rd in the CT individual standings! The fact that he's listed here definitely doesn't mean we absolutely want to sell him - he's already proven to be able to get great results in C1 and even HC races. We'd love to see him compete against even stronger opponents in PTHC races - but on the other hand, we also would like to lower the team's age average. A swap deal for a younger sprinter would definitely also be an option for us - because it's cleat that we'll need a sprinter anyway!
Our sole African rider - draft pick from 2019 - has been extremely valuable in our sprint trains the last two years. We're not sure we'll really be among the teams having a train next year though, so if someone wants to give him a chance as their lead sprinter (it's the last year he could still be trained by the way), we'll definitely look at your offer!

Just to be clear: Gino needs a PT Loan and definitely isn't for sale! We're not 100% sure we'll really loan him out, as he'd be of great value in stage races and TTTs already - so we'd like to get some other riders on board first. But if you're interested in helping Gino reach his maximum level, don't hesitate to contact us!
That's a lot of riders listed, but not all, either. If there's another rider you'd like to negotiate on, just drop by our office or send us a mail!

So far, there's quite some interest in a loan deal for Gino Mäder.
No interest at all shown for all other riders - I have to think we finished dead last in CT, not 4th with those guys!
So far, pretty much no interest in any of our riders - most of them therefore could still be yours!
We do have multiple options for loaning out Mäder; if you want to get him, you should make an offer where I pay the wage and you pay a fee above minimum, else one of the previously interested teams will get him.
Btw, I'll be away until about 19PM, but don't hesitate to drop your offers in our post inbox
As a team that highly values development, we're of course open to take level 1 -> 3 loanees on board for the upcoming season! We obviously expect you to pay the extra 1 -> 3 fee, but we're open in terms of wage splits. Ideally we pay the wages so the fee is higher, but anything can be discussed!
After we landed our top talent target tonight, we would like to make some room for more experienced riders. Which means that pretty much our entire team is still for sale - including CT's 2020 top sprinter Theo Reinhardt.
While the offer for our German star would need to be very good, you can get a lot of other guys much cheaper. Take a look at what we have and call us if any of those are interesting for you Yeah, I know that a few riders are missing from the list - you can also place offers for them, but it's highly unlikely they'll get accepted anyway
We still haven't received any concrete offer for any of our riders - but be assured, many of them won't be expensive! Manfredi and Saggiorato are good domestiques for the mountains, while Vendrame, Pernsteiner and even Thièry are solid on the hills. The latter has even finished 2nd in Züri Metzgete in 2019!
We're also ready to sell some talent, especially Szarka and Froidevaux could well be on the move. They had a stagiaire contract last year, meaning they could already progress way into the 3.XX level!
As expected, after the first wave of "big" deals, people now have money left for some subtop yet still solid riders. Notably, Andrea Manfredi and Cyrille Thièry might get involved in a deal, so you'd better hurry up if you want to get your hands on them!
Furthermore, there's now some interest in a loan-out for Max Walscheid; if you want a solid leadout for flat (really flat) races, then get involved!
We're also listening to offers for our Italian army knife Leonardo Basso, finishing 4th in Lincoln GP last season and being a really valuable member of any CT outfit!
Still available are Mirco Saggiorato, still one of the strongest Swiss climbers, as well as Hermann Pernsteiner, 2nd in Austrian RR NC last year, and many others!
The good news: We have just landed a deal that will be very important for the team, as you'll find out shortly in our HQ!
The bad news (for us): We need to reach some good sales agreements to get back on track in terms of budget!
Which means that we'd like to encourage you to again take a look at our roster! There are many riders who were solid (50 - 100) points scorers in CT last year, and who are on a wage between 50 and 60k only!
You'll find the (almost) complete roster again below, but let us point out a few riders who could be yours for a rather small fee!
Hermann Pernsteiner is a great "hybrid" rider, who was a fantastic domestique in both hilly and mountainous races for us. His 2nd place in the Austrian RR NC shows that if everything falls in place, he can even get a great result on his own - most certainly he'll be in the scoring positions in any non-flat stage race in CT! He's got an 80k wage and scored 110 points - which is more than 1 point per € 1,000 of wage! Up to you to decide if that's enough!
Even better was Mirco Saggiorato, another good hybrid rider with prime focus on climbing, who scored 128 points at a 65k wage. He has seen his first decline, making drop his wage to currently 55k, but he's still a very capable domestique for CT races!
Andrea Manfredi had his great moment of the year when he won the queen stage of the C1 Tour de Romandie - and even finished inside the GC Top 10! With his attacking spirit, he's the perfect fit for breakaways in mountain races if you don't have a proper leader - and he's only on a 55k wage as well! 93 points last season were our 5th best Points per Wage ratio!
Andrea Vendrame has just maxed out and is a great weapon for breakaways in hilly stages, given his rather good acceleration and a solid sprint value. His 75k wage isn't that high, given that Fabian Lienhard, a very similar rider (who you could also get ^^) gets 90k.
And if you were a fan of Gasper Katrasnik's late attacks in CT last year, you should also take a look at Benedikt Mundle! He's an absolute beast on the flat, and a rider who attacks whenever he can. He even won a KoM jersey last season! Furthermore, when used in stage races, he's doing a great job of chasing breakaways when he isn't part of it. For 55k of wage, there's close to no risk of having such a rider!
If you're intrigued by any of our other riders, just hit us up, and we'll discuss! We'd be extremely thankful to get a few deals that could finally avoid us setting up a deal with a certain M-guy!
Thanks to a few deals we were finally able to arrange to day, we *could* call this transfer season a wrap! We're within budget and cap space, so everything is fine - but hey, the transfer period is far from over!
In fact, we still have a lot of loan cap left. So, if you have a rider for a 1 -> 3 loan, whose wage is not higher than 135k, and you pay all his wage (thus lowering the mandatory fee), then hit us up!
We're also open to a variety of deals, be it sales or swaps (also 2-for-1 or the likes). For instance, if you want such a 1 -> 3 loan, but you want us to participate in the wage - well, just buy a rider from us before
You can find below all our riders available for deals (i.e. all bar loan-ins and signed FAs) - just be aware that we don't explicitly need to do any more deals, hence the Top 4 riders are very, very unlikely to leave the team by now! But you can always ask - some offers might be too good to refuse
We're looking forward to elaborate the most complex and crazy deals with you!
With our latest FA signing confirmed, we're officially down to 0 wage cap. We also don't have a lot of cash left - but we'd still like to play in the transfer game!
So, what could be on the table? Well, pretty much anything. We could sell any of our riders with less than 80k of wages; for the other ones we'd prefer deals involving riders from both sides.
Plus, we still have 135k of loan cap left - if you need a 1 -> 3 loan where you can afford paying the wage, we could give your boys a spot! Of course, that wage cap could also be used up in any other imaginable way - come up with any crazy offer, we'll definitely take a look at it! No taboos - but certain riders would require pretty high value in return
Instead of wildly throwing all the names around, we thought we'd just present the five riders we'd most easily agree on selling! Certain deal perspectives and even the option of helping out managers in need of a loan/sale would be much easier for us if at least two of the following riders found a new home:
Mirco Saggiorato, Level 4.MAX, 33 y.o., € 55.000 wage, 128 points in 2020 (Declined in the offseason)
In order to free up some cap space, we might also loan out Szymon Rekita for the 2021 season. He doesn't absolutely need a PT loan, but it would give us some more flexibility. We're open to various wage split options, currently from 50k/50k to 65k/35k (with us paying the 30k fee) - best for us would obviously be to receive a small fee, given that you'd get a pretty strong and useful rider, but it's open to you. Hit us up via PM (not reachable via Skype today) and let's discuss
After we unfortunately missed out on several possible deals these last few days - let's just name Peters, Laporte or the Quintana family reunion - we're still open for some deal proposals.
Let's not make a secret about our current situation: € 15k wage cap, € 18k cash, € 135k loan cap.
So we'd obviously love to take a lvl1/2 loanee where you pay most of the wage (and we don't have to pay a fee ^^).
Or, we are interested in riders swaps, either straight or with us getting a rider earning up to 15k more than yours. Or, we could sell a rider to get involved in other deals or in the FA market.
This is our current roster bar the three loan-ins - propose whatever you feel might be interesting for you and us - we promise we'll be open to talks until the very end!
Note: Rekita and Schmid as FA signings could only be loaned out but not traded!
PS: Sorry to still bother you, but I just don't find it satisfying to end up with a huge loan cap left And because transfer talks are fun, of course
Andrea Manfredi, Level 4.MAX, 29 y.o., € 55.000 wage
Fabian Lienhard, Level 4.MAX, 27 y.o., € 90.000 wage
Maximilian Walscheid, Level 4.04, 28 y.o., € 50.000 wage
Hermann Pernsteiner, Level 4.MAX, 31 y.o., € 80.000 wage
Issiaka Cissé, Level 4.MAX, 30 y.o., € 65.000 wage
Benedikt Mundle! He's an absolute beast on the flat, and a rider who attacks whenever he can. He even won a KoM jersey last season! Furthermore, when used in stage races, he's doing a great job of chasing breakaways when he isn't part of it. For 55k of wage, there's close to no risk of having such a rider!
Gergely Szarka, Level 1.52, 23 y.o., € 50.000 wage, 5 points in 2020 
Szymon Rekita for the 2021 season. He doesn't absolutely need a PT loan, but it would give us some more flexibility. We're open to various wage split options, currently from 50k/50k to 65k/35k (with us paying the 30k fee) - best for us would obviously be to receive a small fee, given that you'd get a pretty strong and useful rider, but it's open to you.
