Colin Stüssi is a great Swiss stage racer and combines the most important stats for such a rider. With 75TT and even better energy stats, he can be the most reliable domestique to your GT effort (as shown by being the superdom in a Giro and Tour victory recently), complement your stage racing efforts in PCT or lead your CT team in the promotion fight. Yuriy Vasyliv is a very similar rider to Stüssi, with the same credentials of providing crucial support to Silvio Herklotz in his latest two GT wins. He compensates for slightly weaker TTing with a slightly better punch and endurance. Jasha Sütterlin was the German ITT champion in 2020 and has been the cornerstone of Team Puma - SAP, having been on the team in every single season since its very first outing a decade ago. Having to sell him hurts, but his role in the team has been taken by Filippo Ganna, and we'd like to see him lead a team again in the latter part of his career. He still has three more years at full strength, and full strength for Sütterlin means being a Top 10 time trialist in the world. Third in Praha and sixth in Herbiers last season, winning the Qatar epilogue and said NC the year before...he's worth the investment in PT, and would be even more so in PCT as the joint best TTer of the division as things stand!

This bunch of riders can be kept if things go to plan, but are not planned around in future races to a point where a mutually beneficial swap or an intriguing cash offer can't convince us to start negotiating.
None older than 30, they all provide great value for low wages, as making sure to fit as many valuable stats within a low OVL as possible has been a main focus of the team building for years now. Lukas Meiler is the exception to this, and he finds himself in this category as a contingency plan in case there needs to be one more sale than expected.

Do you have plenty of cap space, but cannot find an affordable leader for your team in Free Agency, and you're priced out of the big hitter transfers due to a lack of budget? We're happy to help!
These two youngsters are very good value for 50k wage.
We're looking for deals where you pay their wage, and you get compensated well beyond the required 50k loan fee in return! This could be the cash injection for very little risk (no permanent loss of a rider, value rider for a season!) that sees you outdo your opponent's offer for a star rider.

Joris Nieuwenhuis needs a PT loan to finish development, and he's able to be a valuable part of a sprint train already with his serious flat stat and acceleration. A good hill and cobble stat means he's not just useful on the flattest and simplest days. Felix Groß can ride in any of the three divisions this season to gain an XP level, even 52 race days in C2 would do. He's a good sprint train addition as well, particularly in the lower two divisions, with his resistance giving him plenty of energy to make it there.
Sütterlin and Stüssi could be involved in complicated package deals that make it hard to separate them from, so make sure to voice your interest soon!
Vasyliv has pure cash offers on the table that would be a bargain at the moment! Even just 300k would get you in the lead for a great allround stage racer at any level and a Top 5 climber in CT.
Sütterlin and Stüssi are part of package deals and no longer available, as are our riders in need of a loan.
Yuriy Vasyliv has a deal for €350.000 in place. This is still great value for a rider of his versatile stage racing skillset at age 29!

You have 24 hours to get involved and offer a sufficient increase. David de la Cruz is the same rider but already declining and even costs 10k more wage, and yet stands at 450k, so find a better and cheaper alternative here!
If you found yourself coming out of the chaos of the main phase of transfers with a solid squad, but nearly a million short of the training you so desire or of the one transfer that would complete your team, there's a chance to make it happen after all.
We're looking for rider swaps including a rider of yours not exceeding €70.000 wage for Mike Aaron Egger and up to a whopping €850.000 in return!

We're not looking for a particular kind of rider, but it should go without saying that for this deal to be worth our significant financial investment, the rider coming in should be better than Egger in some sense.
Be it showing future potential as he's unmaxed, be it similarly strong but younger, be it more versatile and yet still cheap, if you have someone fitting that you're willing to part ways with in order to strengthen your team at the top end, send a PM!
Disclaimer: This is not a transaction we're required to make, and the sum we're willing to invest is dependent on the quality of your rider.
Convince us with a good offer and it might happen, but we're not gonna do it just for the sake of having done it!
