Great pickup with Robov. Was for a very long time on my list of riders I wanted a H2H Silent Auction for. Decided against it in the end, but a great pick indeed!
Overall the team looks very solid, and while teasing you a bit during the off season regarding Lutsenko, I'm mostly just happy that you took him out of the division
That TT top-end and depth is pretty scary. Thankfully, we're avoiding most of the TT races this year, so hopefully we won't be across the Zalgiris monster-squad too much except where Lutsenko is dominating. Good luck this season
Very cool that Lutsenko ended up with you. I hope he tears PCT apart for you and then maybe promotion could be the result.
Also impressive how you managed to get so many strong Lithuanians into the game. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with Rokas!
Will TT domination and Lutsenko be enough to aim for promotion? I'm not so sure yet, but at least I can finally cheer for the first Kmieliauskas (and thus former loanee) win!
I should know whether Kmieliauskas has won a race already, but somehow I don't (I do think he won a stage last year)

Well, you certainly would've gotten Robov, I am completely spent. I will be laughing my ass to the bank next year when I sell Lutsenko for 100k

A lil wee cry always helps when it comes to talents
With season almost over and promotion imminent, we can take a look at the riders who will be contributors in 2027 when Zalgiris gets relegated back to PCT (maxed stats done with new statgains, may be errors)

Starting with the youngest, Gajdulewicz will just be a nice 50k helper for Lasinis or whoever will end up being the stage race leader

Another mountain helper, but of slightly different ilk. Will be helping out in TTTs as well and probably the very last one in pecking order.

Most likely the next Lithuanian star. A great candidate for future training. Should be useful next year too (PS. Classics at pot 5 is just a straight up upgrade on Cobbles, worth taking a look at)

Will probably still be next to useless next year, but viability will jump high once maxed.

A cool fellow. Will either be a perennial 0 point scorer or will be pulling wins out of his ass once in a while.

Still mad about pot 1. Such low stamina means it's a waste of money to train him. What a shame

A straight downgrade from Bilyi, but we gotta try to keep all the Lithuanians as possible, so a lot less likely to go.
