All sold except Deforche and Cenkov.
2,8M for Van de Mosselaer is way beyond expectation for a 21 year old even though he has been well trained.
This sunday new riders will be for sale.

I decided to retire after 35 seasons and 12 year of playing. Most of my riders are well trained and have high skill points for their age or high skills.
So in the coming weeks after trainingsupdates I will sell my riders, not all at the same time though, so plenty of time to save money. I have a price in mind for each rider. I will set them for sale max. 2 times. If unsold, they retire with me. Sunday evening the first ones will be for sale.
If you have specific need for a certain rider, please send me a message and I can set it for sale faster.

Thanks for all the work Helder. Really appreciate it.
I will not enjoy it. Like always, when I have a top rider, he retires when they turn 36. That is why I normal sell them just before. I find this one very difficult to accept, especially since in some other teams their top riders never seem to retire before they are absolutely useless and with my top riders, it is always the samen. This is ruining my fun, so know I am going to think what I will do.
But not you fault of course, so a big thank you for all your efforts.

There is a time of coming an there is a time of saying goodbye.
Years ago, maybe 7 or 8, when the founder of this game all of a sudden quit, it meant the end of Peloton. Out of love for the game, Schizm, El Gringo and myself coordinated action in one single day and took over Peloton. An action from three men from Belgium, Portugal and Holland who never seen or spoke each other before. If I think back, that was a hectic day but also a day to remember.
We divided tasks and started full of energy. In the beginning we tried to find a programmer who could develop the game further and correct mistakes. We did not have any money because the game itself costed me money. We tried everything but could not find somebody interested and willing enough to do this for free or a small fee. From that moment on, it was just keeping the game alive and year after year we saw managers quit and the number of active managers going down.
After several years, Frank told Helder and me that due to his changed work situation he was no longer able to do his part and therefore was forced to quit. An important thing for the game was to move the game to another, especially cheaper, server. We got help from En Danseuse in the server transfer and Naspa as administrator on the forum, The last years with Helder doing a study at a university and my busy job, nothing changed to the game. Even when we found William, who was prepared to do things without asking money and later also knygoo and sd who wanted to help developing, it was me who did not take the lead and effort that is needed to improve the game.
When I am honest to myself, I don’t have the motivation left to do what it takes to improve the game. Peloton needs a new owner, somebody who has the energy and motivation to correct the errors, develop the concept and promote it to get more active players. Someone who stays in close contact with Willam, knygoo and sd, if they are still willing. Or maybe one of these guys.
My contract with the host for the server runs until early may. Until that day, I will pay all costs.
So what I am looking for is a new owner or a new team that wants to take over. The price for buying this game is € 0.
The yearly server costs are now down to approximately € 350. If you deduct premium money it is almost zero. If you attract more players, you can even pay the programmer a small fee for all the work.
The condition I have is that the new owner pays at least two years for the hosting of the server. I don’t care with whom and my other condition is that he or she tries everything in his or her power to develop the game. My role will be over and I will not interfere anymore.
I already discussed this with Helder. Helder still is willing to help whenever he can, so it is up to the new owner to accept this help or not.
I am sorry that I failed in developing when the three people volunteered, but at least I hope that I provided you with a lot of fun playing this fantastic game the last 8 years.
If anybody has questions, I am always willing to answer.
Yours truly,
Arno
