@mre - Quinn's gonna have a great career here, but he's not Jorgenson!
@Eden - He should be entertaining!
@Sotd - Believe it or not but this is a family friendly team! Heines tool just does the average and sums for you, so why not.
@kandes - speaking of capable stage racers...
Gen 3
What do absolutely have to have on your team if you want any semblance of success at the higher levels of the MG? A stage racer, a good one. We believe in this fact so strongly we must have made inquiries with a good 1/3 of the game trying to find a way to bring one in, either directly or with some dastardly ins-and-outs for funds. This went poorly. Mostly we wouldn't even get through the door, and in some cases got as far as sitting at a table with a contact there only to have it fall through with ink dripping off the pen. So how did we do in making our crucial Gen 3 additions?

We'll start with Rafael Reis. This was a battle to get done, but we reign victorious. When needs must you go for a twice declined overpaid option, but he's a stabilizing element this team really needed. As with so much of this teams build, he won't be a stand out but should consistently deliver good points. Hofftetter continues our surprising obsession with 75-77 sprinters (6 of them), but has versatility to support on cobbles and hills. At 50k he'd be great, at 85k it's another case of needs must as options thinned out. Livyns is an odd one at first glance, but he is the 50k minimum and usable as a domestique on basically every road stage going. This was a late pivot as we needed to get 50k on board to free us up for:- Leemreize and Abdurrahman i'm counting together as getting one deal agreed allowed the other happen and visa versa. Both cost 400k, but Leemur (I can't spell and he likes to climb, so Leemur) is only a Loan In, so we arn'y paying that 165k wage, we're paying just 70k. Does 400k seem like a lot for a one-year rider, not really, if he was 32 with those stats and we paid 400k everyone would say good job. We needed a complimentary option for more MM focused events and Leemur does just that. Whilst Abdurrahman is just a great supporting option for Reis and could be a really good CT leader in a years time.
We had to really work hard to get this strong finish to transfers! But we pulled it off and feel there's a genuine chance at survival in place, whilst balancing against the threat of relegation and picking up a few pieces for a bounce back. This team is built for now, for the PCT in 2027, and the CT in 2027. Couldn't really ask for much more. Gen 3 is going to make the difference!
