Wow, those are some good CSC riders for the taking, us Tinkoff boys are screwed. B) Breschel and Pedersen are super good young talents and Arvesen will get small stage race wins. |

Breschel is a hill rider? In my career he is one of the best cobble riders in the peleton, and im pretty sure he was top 15 in Paris-Roubaix this year. |

We also need some Asians. Some of Carlsberg biggest foreign markets are in Asia. |

Fuyu Li is a great support rider if you develop him correctly, although he is rather old. However, he still makes good support for 2-3 seasons. |

Yes. And when looking at the Tinkoff squad, i think wee need at stronger team to stay in the protour. Any suggestions? What about Stefan Schumacher as Team Leader? |

Fuyu Li is not in the database.
Does Serguy Lagutin interest you? I could also add 1 or 2 Qatar riders if you like.
Beppu is probably the best Japanese rider, so you can have him if you like.

I can have a look for strong team leaders too if you like

Team Leaders:
Well Lovkvist is already a strong rider, I would suggest Kessler + Schumacher if you want a strong presence in the hilly classics. Backstedt can still do well in the Cobbles and if you get Hushovd you will have a topclass sprinter. With Rasmussen as your climber, you will be able to do well at at least one Grand Tour, with Lovkvist developing into a future winner. |

OK. In my opinion, we should pick Scumacher. And hope to sell more some more beer in Germany. Is there any other top or ok-ish sprinters free. I think it is a bit risky placing everything on DFL being relegated. |

BOTH Schumacher and Kessler are available, Id take both of them.
How about Heinrich Haussler and/or Gerald Ciolek as extra sprinters? Haussler is young and has 79 SP, he won a couple of stages at Le Tour this year. Ciolek is 78 SP and also young and developing. Dont forget that Goss is also 78 SP. |
