It's Day 5 of transfers and we are glad to bring you this first announcement of incomings this season!

Conci joins us from Hunter Valley in the same deal which saw Jack Haig go the other way. He will be a very important part of our stage racing and TTT set up for the season.

Our first Dutch talent signing in quite a while is a versatile cobbles talent who is no slouch on the flats and the hills. Haverdings joins us from FA at minimum fee and will play an important role in our cobbles squad for years to come.

We would like to bring to you our next announcement regarding new signings, and just like the last one, we'll be featuring one leader and one talent.

Lampawog was our top priority in FAs (because Arenberg!) and we are delighted to have signed him at a competitive wage. He will be the leader of out Northern Classics squad this season, and add firepower to the TTT unit when required.

Poulard is a versatile talent who can be developed in a variety of ways. We expect him to be a permanent fixture in our squad for years to come, and to contribute across multiple terrains when maxed. The below are just some of the possibilities of how he can be trained, without even looking at the various inter-path combinations!

Conci is one hell of a rider, he almost made me want to abandon my anti-European bias, but you are a much better fit for the Italian.

Great talent signing as well and excited to see what else is to come even though I haven't managed anything real in our conversations so far (my fault).
