Description:
Bryan Coquard is by many touted to be one of the best pure sprinters in the game. He is consistently bagging ~1000 Pro Tour points. Some seasons over, some slightly below, but the consistent performance is brilliant. Also the 79 Prologue stat makes for some nice GC results over the course of a season, beatyfully depicted by winning Tour of Qatar last season.

Description:
With Jack Bobridge you get an amazing duo-thread. He's among the very best puncheurs in the game (Shared 8th in the DB) - but unlike most puncheurs a very hefty TT to go with it makes him a fantastic GC rider in those punchy stage races. Where you'll often be in doubt as to where to put a classic oneday rider Bobridge is an absolute joy to plan, as he fits so many races in the calender.
Description:
Clement Koretzky is one of the best puncheurs in the Pro Tour. Stat wise he is below the likes of Sean De Bie, Miguel Angel Lopez, Peter Sagan, Matej Mohoric and Alexey Lutsenkov but in terms of value for money he actually outscored all of them last seaon. Usually bagging between 850-1050 points you get great consistency. Koretzky have showed stellar aggressiveness and is in the top 3 of most stagewins ever in the Festina-branch.

Description:
William Chiarello have been a very aggressive GC rider in the past couple of seasons, crowning it all by taking a stagewin in the Tour de France, also being 2nd in the GC for quite some time. He's the perfect GT rider and scoring 800 points in the PT ranking I would assume he's among the lowest waged riders to enter the individual top 40 rankings!
Victor Lafay
Age: 26 y.o.
Wage: € 50.000
Level: 4.25
Results:
N/A
Description:
Victor Lafay is still unmaxed, but a very very solid talent, maxing out as 75MO, 77HI. He also holds a fairly decent physical skillset, aswell as his monstrous acceleration/fighter stat. This will become a fan favorite when he attacks again and again. Also will be trainable for 3 seasons if you want him to become a top level rider.
Joel Yates
Age: 26 y.o.
Wage: € 50.000
Level: 4.34

N/A
Description:
Joel Yates is a classical puncheur. Super strong endurance rider maxing at stellar 78HI. As he's also not too shabby against the clock, he could turn out to be a very solid super domestique for those punchy GC races. Just like Lafay he will have 3 seasons of training eligebility if he needs a boost to become a leader.

Lecuisinier has a leading bid of 4mio, and several inquiries in the region of 3-3,5 mio + riders.
I prefer to have a rather Quick solution, so keep me orientated!
Remy Rochas has a leading bid of 450K at the moment.
I have a lot of interest for Victor Lafay, but nothing yet that suits me.
Markus Kopfauf have interest in the region of 200K, still want a bit more to sell him.
Both Koretzky and Coquard are without concrete offers, but have some inquiries.
Aidan Van Niekerk is in a similar position while David de la Cruz is currently not in serious talks. We expect him to be sold, and he would make for a very solid CT captain, or PCT/PT lieutenaint.
Leading bid for Pierre-Henri Lecuisinier is now 4,3 mio + a very solid rider.
It's about time if you want to join the party! Otherwise a thread will be opened, and it will take a good overbid to change the plans. I estimate the value of the deal to be somewhere in the region of 5,3-5,5 mio.
The value of this deal also ensure that we are basically where we want to be, so Coquard, Koretzky, van Niekerk and Lafay is likely to be removed from the party - or become excessively expensive. Something fun in terms of rider swaps is always interesting however!
Things are shaping up nicely at the newly founded ELCO - ABEA team. Some have been sold or swapped out, but this have also opened for some new and interesting opportunities. We have some very solid leaders, aswell as some talents that could leave the team.
And we aren't picky. We are open for both money offers aswell as rider swaps - or a combination!
The faster you react the better the deal, as we are very likely to only sell 1 of the leaders below.
