Lapeira is a great long-term piece, and Beletta is a true contender for the coolest talent of the class, congrats on both!

Fantastic group of incoming riders. Lapeira is of course awesome and all four unmaxed riders are really cool - Bettles was someone i hoped would go under the radar but obviously you had him on your mind already 
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Nice riders in general, but Belletta and Chesini stand out as future top talents in your own sponsor country. Chesini at 100k is a steal, and one day Belletta will win a monument. Heard it here first!

Well thats pretty much a wrap on our transfers so for the 2nd half lets see where we got too...
After a huge bidding war erupted for MVP and Pithie we ended up signing the Dutchman for 975k for Bolt-Eesti, a large amount for a man entering his 30's but with the scoring we know he can bring we really wanted to make sure this transfer happens as he was our number 1 priority all off-season. We expect him to mix some easy cobbles with leadership roles at Hilly Stage races and classics.
Georgios Stavrakakis and Constantinos Iannou join us in loans from our friends at Elco-Abea with The Stav also coming with a boost in Cobble stats up to 78. Expect both to feature multiple times this season with the Stav a sneaky points scorer.
Danny Van Poppel comes into to be our sprinter for the season we aren't expecting miracles just to be in the top 10 on most sprint stages will be enough and he should have plenty freedom to lead races.
Alexandor Cataford joins back with the first manager who ever bought him into pro cycling we are hopeful of a few good top 20's from him in the season.
Patrick Olesen is another signed for C2 races with a couple in mind mainly he will also be a good domestique on hilly classics for our two leaders.
Paul Penhoet is a fun Sprinting prospect who will be able to cobble as well, he gives us a sprinting option longer term that we don't currently have across the team.
The definitely Lithuanian Van Mechelen is on loan from DK Zalgiris he should play a couple of really important roles in the cobbled season while Michael Leonard gives us another TT rider we are sorely missing currently.
Finally our 3rd Italian Giovane prodigio Andrea Raccagni proving once asking that if you stick a high ST youngster in front of me I refuse to say no
