As with every transfers, we are willing to negotiate a deal for any of our riders. The 'availability' list below is more a reflection of how likely we see each rider leaving the team during transfers, and the 'lower' the rating the better the offer will have to be for the offer to be considered.

Adam Yates has signaled that he might want to leave them team. We will accept his request, but only if an acceptable offer is received. Here are his palmares from last season:

His actual performances were even better than shown here, in Romandie we fell victim to some terrible TTT AI which would have granted Yates a much higher GC placing, and in Japan he was 5th in GC on the final day before more AI fuckups.

We really don't want to see him go, but due to other commitments it seems as though he might have to move on sadly (not for his potential new team, though). Yates is a top-10 PCT standings calibre rider, and could easily push top-5. He rode well in every race he took part in last season and was probably the most exciting rider that's ever ridden for the team. His combo of amazing energy stats coupled with his terrific acceleration make for a super fun attacking rider that can make his attacks stick with his energy stats. He wins stages for fun, his results from last season speak for themselves. He would single handedly keep a new PCT team up away from the relegation zone, he could easily be the centerpiece for a team committing to a rebuild, or he will be the rider that catapults a team into promotion at PCT level. At PT level, he will also be a wonderful asset and those extra RD's mean you can enjoy watching his perform in even more races.

He's a fantastic rider, and any team with some cash to splash would be making a mistake to not consider Yates in their future plans.

He rode to a respectable 475 points last season in PCT. With the thin FA market this season, an 81sp rider that can score well at PCT level (or be a super handy secons sprinter/GT sprinter at PT level) on such a low wage is a no-brainer. We will most likely wait until Yates is potentially sold to properly consider moves for Abdul Halil, but will listen to any offers that we receive nonetheless.

B U M P

He’s a great sprinter with a very low wage for his abilities. He scored just under 500 points in PCT last season on said low wage, and worked well both with a lead out and without. He has a lot of race days so is very flexible when it comes to race planning, so you can experiment with where you send him asides from the regular flat races.

Proven in PCT, and would be very hand in PT with even more race days - he could ride multiple GT’s and compete for the points jerseys. Make an offer

Yates needs no Introduction - he’s a phenomenal rider who is coming off an amazing season in PCT that saw him taking wins for fun (results in first post). He can ride in both PCT and PT and be a terrific point scorer in each division - he scored a tad under 900 points last season and his tally would have been even higher if it weren’t to some bad luck.

He’s an exciting rider - he attacks a lot and can back it up with his acc + great energy stats which sets him apart from the field. He can take on and beat riders with higher MT with ease due to his stat line and riding style. Hes also just a very fun rider to have on your team, he makes any race he’s a part of an event

We currently have an offer valued around 1.7m with a rider + cash that we like. We’re willing to listen to any offers for him.

Adam Yates

Adam Yates will be leaving the team.
He has an offer consisting of cash + a rider valued to around 1.8 - 2m. .

We are quite happy with this offer and it would take something extremely special for us to consider a different offer. Any potential offer will only considered of at least 2m cash, or a swap + generous amount of cash however unlikely it may be we accept a different offer.

That we will be selling one of 2 riders - One will be Abdul Halil who has his stats and results above, and possibly the rider who will be coming in as part of the Yates deal. More on that later.

In the meantime, we will be listening to offers for Abdul Halil for a 'cheaper' deal involving cash and a rider - we will be looking to get a 500k fee for him + a swap for a rider or two. We would prefer either TT riders, climbers or sprinters of at least 79sp involved in the deal. A bargain for a rider of his caliber.

We also have Bagioli coming in as part of our deal for Yates. He’s a rider we really like and plan on keeping, but as with everything would be open to considering any offers of either cash/interesting end of transfers swap proposals

Andrea Bagioli| Age: 25| Wage: $390,000| u25 eligible

It wouldn't be transfers without having burned through every conceivable plan in existence - so will put it out there: we have somewhere bewteen 1.2-1.7m potentially to spend, and can involve Bagioli (we imagine that our deal for Yates will go through unobstructed) in potential deal. Preferabyl looking for a hybrid climber, stage racer or TT rider. Let us know if you have any grand ideas!
