With the first weekend of transfers done, the scope has changed on a lot of what we could potentially achieve, hence we might need to raise some funds, therefore 3 pillars of our CT-winning lineup are now up for trade/sale:
First one on the block is the C2 cobbles destroyer GVK:

GVK has dominated the C2 cobbles for as long as he has been with my team. Despite this his wage is incredibly attractive, 71 hill means that he often is a bit more durable than his counter parts. Last season he finished 8th in the CT scoring 402 points, he is almost a surefire ticket to promotion! Due to his pedigree we're looking at offers of more than 500k to start moving the wheels or trading him for another rider of similar quality in a different terrain.
Second on the block is the biggest climbing revelation of the CT climbs last year Pavel Potocki:

On just 82k you get a stage racer that can finish top 5 in every single CT stage race and is guaranteed to help you finish towards the upper part of the CT. Finished 16th last season at 308 points. Again looking for trades for an offer of over 500k.
And last but not least, potentially the best deal of all in this selection of riders: Scott Thwaites! The sprinter/cobbler hybrid comes with a unique package that you will not find on 69k wage anywhere else. Scored well over 100 points last year in CT when he was never the leader in any race and always had to help GVK or act as a leadout for Kump/Vingerling.

Loans:
We're also in the market for a 1-3 loan as a way to make our funds more liquid, if you have a 1-3 loan in mind with a good fee going our way we would love to hear from you!
We now have an agreement for 1 1-3 loan. Ideally we would like to take on another one to raise some more funds.
Some interest in Thwaites that could materialise, yet to hear any real convincing interest for GVK or Potocki. Remember we can even send a bit of money your way if you're pressed on cap right now!
With Maxime Daniel signed from Free Agency we now have full clarity over our situation, it is as follows:
99K in wage cap right now, 530k to spend.
We're looking for riders that could help us secure that tiny extra bit of scoring, we do already have a bid that might be made real but we need to get a full grasp of the market.
