More regional riders make it to our team as the squad starts to fill up.

Ahmad Zamri joins us as part of a multi ride swap deal from Genii Hyundai N Cycling. He will add much needed firepower in our stage racing department.

Our second FA pickup joins us to add more depth to our hills and mountains trains. He is also a viable option for targeting KOMs.

@jandal: Glad to have them onboard and even happier to be able to reunite the brothers

@redordead: Yes, we seem to be having better luck signing Dutch riders after changing them to secondary focus!

We had been slowly building up the support staff for our 2023 team over the past couple of days, but now it's time to announce the bigger signings for the season. Here are the next three riders who will ride in our colours.

Daniel Vesely joins us from recently promoted Minions, and will lead our sprinting for the season. We expect him to be able to take up the role played by Van Asbroeck in the last two seasons.

Giovanni Carboni will have the important role of being the super domestique for Choi in important races, but we also expect him to get a couple of leadership opportunities this season. He joins us from our friends over at Fastned for a very reasonable price.

Ocampo joins us on loan for the season from our Mexican chicken inclined friends, as our association continues to grow with them! He will be a part of the TTT team, along other races. We have really struggled to get a TT rider in this time so far, so this signing helps improve on that situation somewhat.

We're especially excited today to bring to you the next signing we have made!

We have just gone and made another little record for the team! Leo Hayter joins us from Free Agency as a neo-pro, and becomes the highest paid talent in the team's history! The previous record was a measly 80k held by Mick Van Dijke last season. Hayter is a really promising stage racer and we're looking to build him up in that mould. We are excited to see what the future holds for us and him.

@DW: Los Pollos are eternal!! Hope so too, thanks

@redordead: We hope there are more ups than downs for sure!

We're here with the next couple of riders joinig us for this season.

We were on the lookout for a Northern Classics specialist who could take some of the load off Benoot in terms of the cobbles races. We finally were able to bring in Ringheim from Grieg - Maersk and he will our designated leader for the stones this season.

The search for a good Time Trialist was an especially painstaking affair for us this season. However, halfway through the transfer window, we decided to call on the mecca of time-trialing, EA Vesuvio, to see if we could pry away one of their long time servants. Negotiations were successful and Jungels joins us to lead our time-trailing for the season.

@Nemo: Thanks for all the nice words, but we are equally in awe of your team structure and personnel Hayter is indeed well worth his wage, I agree!

Our penultimate transfer update of the season sees us bring in two more regional riders.

Kozhatayev was one of our primary targets this off season, and we were finally able to grab him towards the end of the window. He is an excellent all-rounder, and we will be using his skills in most of those areas. Despite his slightly high wage, we believe we got a good deal from him, and are excited to add him to our roster.

The first ever Indian signing is quickly joined by the second as we have picked up Naveen John from Free Agency. A late bloomer, Naveen is expected to develop into a Time Trialist who can also climb decently.

@jandal: We didn't get our top targets for either cobbles or time-trials, so we had to go bargain hunting in the end, while consolidating other areas. Hopefully these moves work out.

Hayter definitely looks like the steal of free agency or maybe just transfers in general. Looks like I need to go back in the talents market soon
