Finally in this week's news, are the Transfers:
The top transfer of this week was Sevastian Torrens, who was bought of the transfer list for 300K. DCM will now race him a lot to get his race shape back up from scratch. Leukefans were the previous owners, who are now inactive.
Next is Welsh tour rider Wyatt Sahr, who’s twenty six and now rides for VC Botafogo. He was brought from Coventry Corinium Club, after they sold all their riders, for a sum of 260K. He should prove to be a good rider for his new team.
As mentioned in previous articles, Aaron Bailey was brought by POM Wonderful after he won the Tweedaagse van Antwerpen Tour. Bolt paid a total of 230k to get him from Team Revolutie. Not a bad deal.
Aging Time Trial rider Elias Van Der Eyde was brought by THE DUTCHIES for a grand total of 187702$. The Belgium used to ride for Team Kernow, but will know look for more results at his new team.
Team Revolutie were involved in the transfer market again. After selling their cobblestone rider they brought Jamal White for a total of 185k. He used to ride for POM Wonderful, so we can suppose it was a trade.
Thanks for reading, Michael.
