I'm not crying, there's just some dirt in my eyes.

We have had four amazing seasons with Zmorky Sporky. I hope he can do similar things for you as he did for us. Best of luck with LPH's best scoring rider in the coming year(s) <3

These kids are alright! Introducing our first bunch of loan-in signings for the season.

Rossi was one of the most high profile level 4 loan candidates available this season, and we are delighted to have signed him up for the season. He will add some much needed depth to our cobbles and flat squads.

Obando is the second ever Ecuadorian to ride in our colours and will join up with the climbing team through the season. He was also one of our top loan-in targets in the transfer window.

Agirrebeitia is a stage racing talent who we were offered to sign to level up this season. He should be another useful addition to our climbing and stage racing unit this season.

Presenting our first set of FA signings for the season.

Owen will join the squad as the leader for the Northern Classics races, an area where we were severely depleted after the departure of Benoot and the Kuroedas!

Cherkasov is the first ever premier roleur to make it into our squad and he will be sharing some of the leadership responsibilities on the flat races.

Hofstede was our first ever Stagiare signing in our first ever season back in 2017. We sold him in 2020 after our relegation to CT, so that he could complete his development. He has had a journeyman career in the meantime, and joins us back for this season.

Both Owen and Cherkasov are very cool riders, and well equipped for life in the PT I think! Cherkasov seems to have been trying to find a home in the FA pool for a very long time, so to see him "only" at 125K wage is a bit surprising. But a very very cool rider!

Had both Owen and Cherkasov on my list. Great job on getting them with those wages

Presenting our next set of FA signings.

Jamie Roson joins the team to add some muscle to our climbing team. He will be the chief lieutenant for Haig for most of the season, although he might get a couple of opportunities himself to lead races!

Our search for a younger time-triallist led us to Costa Rica and after a multi-day bidding process, we were able to secure the services of Arias Villanueva. He will already be a useful part of our TTT unit. He will develop into an even better TT rider next season!

Ringheim was the leader of our cobbles unit in 2023, after which he was sold in the off-season. Having spent a year in CT, he joins us back as a Free Agent signing to add some depth to our cobbles setup.
