Thanks guys. Indeed Varotsos is a huge gain for us. Easily the most important talent pick of the season. Can't wait to start making him a useful asset.
Emondson was a cool allround type that suits several aspects. Leadout for Farantakis, strength of cobble department, C2 eligeble. Summerhill is a bit of a gamble. Could work here and there, but also cound hinder my greeks in performing

We can welcome another rider to the team.
 | Andreas Miltiadis | 4.100 | 28yo | Puncheur | €70.000 |
| Fl | Mo | Hi | TT | St | Rs | Rc | Co | Sp | Ac | Fi | Dh | Pr | | 68 | 75 | 75 | 67 | 70 | 71 | 66 | 68 | 61 | 75 | 67 | 68 | 67 |
We welcome back Andreas Miltiadis who have been with our team for quite some time by now. He is a very solid allround domestique. He crowned his career palmares with a Tour de France stagewin in 2022. Although it won't be replicated this year we hope to see him fight for stagewins in stage races regardless.
We expect to add another two riders to the team.

Varotsos is a great talent, but I'm stunned that Summerhill is still on 79 CO after three declines! What a beast he must have been in his prime (before I joined).

He was very much a brilliant rider - I was a bit surprised no one was tempted to pick him up for 100K. But I'm happy to give it a go. I have no clue whether my COB team is strong enough, but I sure am going to give it everything

Three riders have joined, and we have effectively close our transfer window. We might have room for a couple of stagiare signings though. If we do, those will be presented shortly. First of, let's welcome this foreign trio!
 | Yikui Niu | 4.100 | 30yo | Puncheur | €55.000 |
| Fl | Mo | Hi | TT | St | Rs | Rc | Co | Sp | Ac | Fi | Dh | Pr | | 72 | 74 | 72 | 67 | 76 | 69 | 75 | 56 | 74 | 74 | 73 | 70 | 67 |
Niu is a spectacular rider type, who can't really decide whether he wants to be a climber or a sprinter, so he's somewhat in the middle ground. He has been riding in all divisions through his career and has made a decent impact in all of them. Last season he was the 4th strongest rider at Babymetal.
 | Edoardo Affini | 4.100 | 28yo | Timetriallist | €70.000 |
| Fl | Mo | Hi | TT | St | Rs | Rc | Co | Sp | Ac | Fi | Dh | Pr | | 73 | 66 | 67 | 77 | 76 | 79 | 72 | 64 | 64 | 70 | 73 | 68 | 78 |
Affini joins on a one year loan option from EA Vesuvio. He comes with a strong timetrial ability and will be a great asset in both individual timetrials aswell as one of our core focusses, Team Time Trials. Last season he rode the PCT with McCormick Pro Cycling. This season he will ride in a team that have a heavy focus where he excels.
 | Samuel Mugisha | 4.100 | 27yo | Roulleur | €50.000 |
| Fl | Mo | Hi | TT | St | Rs | Rc | Co | Sp | Ac | Fi | Dh | Pr | | 76 | 64 | 70 | 74 | 70 | 74 | 71 | 63 | 62 | 68 | 74 | 64 | 6878 |
Similarly to Affini, Mugisha joins on a loan deal. Mugisha is a strong rolleur that will feature perfectly in our aim to bring Farantakis to the front of the pack in a sprint finihs. Mugisha is also a strong Team Time Trial asset, and is a somewhat well rounded domestique.

Thanks. Would have preferred to land one more, but it wasn't meant to be unfortunately

We wish our 3 stagiares for the upcoming season a warm welcome!
 | Edgar Andres Pinzon | 1.56 | 23yo | Climber | €10.000 |
| Fl | Mo | Hi | TT | St | Rs | Rc | Co | Sp | Ac | Fi | Dh | Pr | | 65 | 68 | 67 | 55 | 69 | 72 | 67 | 59 | 64 | 67 | 66 | 64 | 55 | | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | | | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | | 66 | 76 | 73 | 57 | 71 | 77 | 72 | 59 | 64 | 73 | 72 | 65 | 57 |
Pinzon is a classic colombian climber that excels in the mountainous breakaways. He has a remarkable physical package meaning he would be an obvious target for further training aswell.
 | Luke Lamperti | 1.00 | 22yo | Roulleur | €10.000 |
| Fl | Mo | Hi | TT | St | Rs | Rc | Co | Sp | Ac | Fi | Dh | Pr | | 69 | 64 | 69 | 57 | 68 | 69 | 68 | 60 | 67 | 67 | 63 | 65 | 58 | | ↓↓↓ | | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | | ↓↓↓ | | 75 | 64 | 73 | 59 | 73 | 72 | 72 | 63 | 71 | 72 | 65 | 65 | 60 |
Lamperti is a strong rolleur, that could also excel in many other areas if needed to be a little bit more specialised. F.e. in hills or sprints. We have opted to make for a brilliant attacker that can win from a decimated bunch. He is also an obvious leadout rider for a punchy sprinter like Koumpetsos.
 | Simon Dehairs | 1.48 | 23yo | Roulleur | €10.000 |
| Fl | Mo | Hi | TT | St | Rs | Rc | Co | Sp | Ac | Fi | Dh | Pr | | 69 | 62 | 64 | 64 | 73 | 69 | 66 | 60 | 68 | 67 | 74 | 68 | 65 | | ↓↓↓ | | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | ↓↓↓ | | ↓↓↓ | | 76 | 62 | 67 | 66 | 78 | 72 | 71 | 63 | 73 | 72 | 76 | 68 | 67 |
Dehairs share resemblances with both of the two above. He is a strong rolleur that can also excel as a leadout rider or breakaway specialist, and his engine is massive. The longer and more endurant a race is, the better Dehairs would like it.
Three greek rider have developped their core qualities over the
 | Miltiadis Giannoutsos | 4.100 | 27yo | Climber | €220.000 |
| Fl | Mo | Hi | TT | St | Rs | Rc | Co | Sp | Ac | Fi | Dh | Pr | | 68 | 79 | 72 | 72 | 76 | 78 | 75 | 57 | 64 | 68 | 75 | 67 | 77 | | ↓↓↓ | | | | | | | | | | | | | 68 | 80 | 72 | 72 | 76 | 78 | 75 | 57 | 64 | 68 | 75 | 67 | 77 |
| | Ioannidis Kiriakidis | 4.100 | 27yo | Timetriallist | €110.000 |
| Fl | Mo | Hi | TT | St | Rs | Rc | Co | Sp | Ac | Fi | Dh | Pr | | 68 | 74 | 73 | 77 | 72 | 73 | 74 | 62 | 63 | 71 | 70 | 73 | 76 | | | | ↓↓↓ | | | | | | | | | | | 68 | 74 | 73 | 78 | 72 | 73 | 74 | 62 | 63 | 71 | 70 | 73 | 76 |
| | Michail Kortsidakis | 4.100 | 30yo | Cobbler | €110.000 |
| Fl | Mo | Hi | TT | St | Rs | Rc | Co | Sp | Ac | Fi | Dh | Pr | | 77 | 63 | 69 | 54 | 75 | 75 | 73 | 76 | 68 | 72 | 76 | 70 | 73 | | | | | | | | ↓↓↓ | | | | | | | 77 | 63 | 69 | 54 | 75 | 75 | 73 | 77 | 68 | 72 | 76 | 70 | 73 |

Pinzon not being picked up is fairly strange, good dom for SA teams.
Training looks good, not sure about value of Kortsidakis training, but with those backups he may make a nice jump

Indeed. Pinzon left made no sense for me - and he can even level up as a stagiare! So I'm very happy with him.
Kortsidakis doesn't make a lot of sense I do agree, but I wanted to push him up as my lead cobbler so Stavrakakis will be the helper and not the other way around. Atleast until I land on a treasure box which will allow Stavrakakis to go to 79COB.
Initially I had planned to make Kiriakidis 76MO, but opted for the TT instead.

Looking good. Giannoutsos and Kiriakidis stepping up make sense, but I'm not that much of a fan of Kortsidakis'. For the amount you spend there you could have had Zegklis
Lamperti was on my list of final additions and should be a fun rider when maxed as should the other two as well.
Good luck on bouncing back up where you belong

The first month of racing is always a special one. For us very much so with a team of all-Greek leaders, and a very first PCT season. We hope to be able to fight for our dream of immidiate promotion, although it's by no means a given, nor an actual expectation. January is - on paper - a solid month for us. Some teams are better, but we should have a chance of 5-10 results in both races.
| Start | End | Race | Category | | 07-Jan | |  Down Under Classic | HC |
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | | Stylianos Farantakis | 74 | 59 | 66 | 72 | 75 | 72 | 79 | 66 | 81 | 80 | 61 | 63 | 79 | | Anastasios Koumpetsos | 74 | 67 | 73 | 56 | 76 | 73 | 82 | 58 | 76 | 76 | 74 | 71 | 56 | | Georgios Boutopoulos | 78 | 68 | 72 | 66 | 73 | 75 | 69 | 74 | 73 | 78 | 80 | 74 | 68 | | Michail Kortsidakis | 77 | 63 | 69 | 54 | 75 | 75 | 73 | 77 | 68 | 72 | 76 | 70 | 73 | | Ioannis Varotsos | 73 | 62 | 66 | 70 | 69 | 69 | 64 | 63 | 67 | 68 | 72 | 68 | 70 | | Yikui Niu | 72 | 74 | 72 | 67 | 76 | 69 | 75 | 56 | 74 | 74 | 73 | 70 | 67 | | Samuel Mugisha | 76 | 64 | 70 | 74 | 70 | 74 | 71 | 63 | 62 | 68 | 74 | 64 | 68 |  | Mats Wenzel | 67 | 68 | 69 | 69 | 70 | 69 | 67 | 60 | 58 | 70 | 65 | 68 | 70 |
Expectations: Stylianos Farantakis is leading the way with a solid group of roulleurs to keep him near the front. We don't expect him to win, but if the positioning works a top 5 might be in the cards. And hopefully some minor points can be collected from one of the leadout riders.

Expectations: Stylianos Farantakis is once more the team leader, which is usually interesting for us. This time with Stavrakakis instead of Varotsos to pull on the front, but mostly it's the same ideas.
The month of February brings a little bit of everything, which is where we can hopefully shine a little bit through having a reasonably versatile setup.

Expectations: The team have significantly increased the level of competitiveness in the cobbles, so we want to see the team be aggressive and hopefully have numerous riders active towards the final. We have a little of everything, but no obvious winners.

Expectations: The Team-TimeTrials is among our key priorities for this season, so we really want to shine. It's never easy to say where we stand exactly, but with an 8 man strong average of 76TT, we should be a podium contender at this level!

Expectations: Similarly to previous, we do expect to get a solid amount of succes from the cobbles this season, despite not being favorites for any wins.

Expectations: With the versatility of climbers, timetriallists and puncheurs in our team we could have a fun race here - but if our strongest timetriallists struggle in the uphill it could also be a big no-pointer, despite having a very solid setup.

Expectations: Yet again we have Farantakis leading us in the race, this time with added support from Edmondson to be in the perfect setting for the final dash. We can only cross our fingers for a top 5.

Expectations: This is one of the races we are trying to avoid. We can only hope for something like Vila, Miltiadis or Spanopoulos to try something, and for the ending to be somewhat cramped, were Niu and Soulious might achieve something from a decent sprinting position.

Expectations: A very strange sighting with just 1 greek rider attending. We bring Miltiadis and Edmondson as our leaders, and we know that isn't much. All we can do is hope for a small group sprint where Edmondson is among the fastest.

What in the name of all the holy are you trying to do to me? Seeing that race planning for Stylianos Farantakis gives me the fits!
Obviously, it's only a friendly jest, I'm perfectly aware of the competition. And certainly I will try to put up a fight for Stylianos Farantakis.
I love your team and regional focus! The best of luck in the new season! (But not as best as mine )

Hi mate - I'm really sorry, this comment totally slipped past me
So far it doesn't seem like you have to worry one bit about Farantakis
Thanks a lot, and all the best to you also! I hope Coquard can be the decider for you!

The first quarter have been somewhat kind to us in general. We have not particularly overperformed, but we have scored a very solid PpRD in the early part of the season. A grand total of 978 points out of the expected 3000 points. 12 races of 43 in total have been ridden, and if that is a benchmark for the points to come we should end up at aproximately 3500 points.
Our projected points in terms of PpRD is significantly higher though. All the way up towards 4800 and then some. But having 21 RD's in Tour of America, we are well aware that those figures are a falsum.

Let's take a look at the racing in Q2...
The month of April mainly offers sprints and cobbles. Something that - on paper atleast - should suit our team pretty well. The issue, however is the racing divisions, which isn't ideal. We have two PTHC races and two C2 races. Both of which are not where we expect to excel!

Expectations: 50 pts | Cobbles is great, but cobbles at PTHC level might not be the best case scenario for us. We can only hope for our numbers to make for a solid race.

Expectations: 10 pts | It's always difficult to score points as a PCT team at C2 level. We bring a combination of Miltiadis, Edmonson and perhaps Niu that could do OK'ish, in a setup with a lot of flat, some bumps and a little cobble.

Expectations: 70 pts | A sprint fest, and no Farantakis? But why? Well, it's time for us to see what Kortsidakis and Boutopoulos can do. We know that Farantakis can get a top 5 at best, but out two breakaway roulleurs might steal the cake. We are inspired by the race history with winners such as Mads P., Konychev, Antonijevic and Rowe.

Expectations: 50 pts | While Kortsidakis and Boutopoulos try for glory in the Netherlands, Farantakis will try to keep his head above water here in Lisbon. It is a race that could go to roulleurs aswell, but we have won the race twice before from sprints (Coquard and Tzortzakis) so we try to keep it together, and play it cool.

Expectations: 10 pts | This is likely our best chance to get a good C2 result, as Edmondson is a solid cobbled rider and the race is relatively easy.
Only two races in the month of May, but two of the races we are looking forward to the most. Combining our depth with timetrials, team timetrials, sprints and climbing could be a make-or-break month for us.

Also combined with a MT ITT which should suit Giannoutsos alright. The race might be a tad too tough for our riders, but we are giving it everything we have to win the TTT.

Expectations: 50 pts | The race on paper should be good for Farantakis, with a short prologue, but we are yet to find the melody in those flat stage race sprints so we aren't all that positive. With Christapopoulos, Affini and Stavrakakis we hope to put some pressure on the prologue for a solid Team GC though.
Q2 ends with week long GC races for the most part - and some difficult ones, which is not ideal for our setup. Two of them are even at PTHC level which our setup isn't built for. That could hurt our scoring potential, but we also know that our depth is the key - and only a small portion of luck from either race could make this a very interesting month. We also get to ride one of the races we are looking forward to the most - California.

Expectations: 40 pts | A flat race for Farantakis should always be solid. We bring the best possible setup for him, and so it's down to the daily form.

Expectations: 90 pts | Not an ideal race for us, but both Mavrikakis and Spanopoulos should be able to try something. Whether it is enough to get a solid result is difficult to say.

Expectations: 130 pts | Having Giannoutsos lead a race for us usually gives a bit of points pr. proxy, we hope this is no different - but it does rely a lot of the starting field.

Expectations: 100 pts | With Giannoutsos elsewhere we have to put our faith in Mavrikakis, Spanopoulos and our secondary riders such as Christakos, Ioannidis and Agrotis. That shouldn't give a big outing, but we hope that maybe Koumpetsos and Niu can also cause a bit of trouble.

Hopefully Farantakis finds some form soon, but you seem to have taken quite well to PCT racing regardless
