caspi - absolutely, wasnt expecting him to stay this cheap!
jandal - Thanks but im just a good one-trick-pony in FA :D
sotd - Thank you! I have back-to-back fantastic 50k classes but i wouldnt make such general statements about it. I just had the luxury situation that i didnt need to make big FA signings in either of these two season so i could afford to take more shots at possible bargains than basically anybody else and happened to be lucky a fair few times.
and now for something completely different:

Our first transfer deal of the season decided our strategy for the transfer window: Instead of trying to run it back for another title attempt with the same core of stage racing leaders, we wanted to set ourself up for the future by getting younger and bringing in the next generation:
Tibor Del Grosso joins us on a rider swap from Grieg. Once their destinated heir for Mads Pedersen, Tibor failed to develop in his debut season which created an opening for us.
Tibor is one of the strongest young cobblers. He has incredible endurance and can sprint as well as climb up the flemish hills. His complete skill for a classic specialist will make him a top contender for future monument victories and we are excited to have him as a cornerstone for years to come. This season, he will ride on loan with Ethiopian Airlines.
Don't have to mention all those good 50k signings anymore, but bringing in Del Grosso is clearly a big move! He'll be a nuisance for all the other cobblers (including Isidore) once he's maxed It will also be interesting which path you'll go with him as I'll have the same choice to make
kandes - I was hoping that such a big move would be available for us and i'm very excited about getting it. All those 50k signings help with fitting him under our salary cap
jt - I'm not yet sure which path im taking but that 2nd path is really cool. There are also a few mixed paths in between these.
Nemo - Thats the hope!
Thanks guys!

After presenting our future Roubaix leader, it is time to present our Roubaix leader for this year: We have cooperated once again with our "rivals" at Xero for a loan deal. This year, Florian Vermeersch is joining us for the season.
Florian Vermeersch is a brilliant cobbler who combines the raw power on the cobblestones with an excellent sprint finish. He showed his quality last year when he won the Tour of the Battenkill and we hope that he can repeat that performance across lots of classics throughout the season.

Big signing obviously, setting you up nicely for the future
