As a fellow PCT manager I think Kudus deserves another year in PT
Just saying

Kudos for bringing Kudus' wage down by that much, didn't expect this after another GT win (and more great races)!
With Kudus, Jacobs, Blum and Müller (who seems to work far better with the current version than with the previous one), promotion should be pretty safe imho, but keeping Godoy and selling Kudus instead obviously gives you far more options. Hope you're going to fill your roster with lots of Portuguese/Brazilian riders so we won't bump into each other too often

Definitely, and I hear he has built a really strong bond with Godoy, so would be unfair not to let them both go back to PT.

Nice work regarding Kudus' wage  That would have been a tough negotiation. He can be a big bargaining chip for you, I can't imagine the fear of angering the great man whilst trying to get that wage down. Could be very exciting if you part ways with him, it could certainly set you up to do whatever you want during transfers.

Nice and clean jersey design. That is always a hit!
Also I agree, let Kudus stay in the PCT. He clearly wants to be there having relegated two times in a row

Personally, as someone not in PCT, I would love to see Kudus obliterate PCT.

I guess you can just sit back and wait for the post-FA battle desperation to set in after a few hours of transfers

As much as it pains me, the main goal of this transfer season will be to find a new home for Merhawi Kudus. After a perfect season in which he won 100% of the races he entered (Giro d'Italia, Criterium du Dauphine, Tirreno Adriatico) and finished 7th in the PT standings, he will look to make his way back to the PT. Had we remained in the PT division, there is no chance he would be leaving us after taking such a massive salary reduction in renewals. And if he were on this salary to begin with, there is no chance we would have relegated.
He has been one of the most fun riders I've ever had on the roster. My loss will be someone else's gain I suppose. I realize there are a lot of flashy names hitting free agency that will pull a lot of attention (and inflated price tags... I would know  ), so let's deal before it gets to that point. I am looking mainly for a swap, ideally for a PCT-competitive sprinter or stage racer, but will also field cash offers.
If we aren't able to sell him, then we will need to sell Godoy. And we will seek every PT wildcard possible for Kudus out of spite. There are a number of other riders on the roster with some availability, though these will be looked at after our main moves are made. Looking forward to talking!

We'll surely be in touch, let's see if we can get a deal for once
Otherwise, I'm sure your sponsors want you to mainly go for the Portuguese market this year, right? (There might be something I could do for you in that respect...)

"rejected taglines from Bushwackers Kudos sales pitch!"
No surprise really to see you looking to move Kudos probably needed just to balance the roster a bit but already a roster that should be enough for a promotion chase this year |

Interesting to have both Herklotz and Kudus on the move. Maybe I should go for one of them, and then have a complete team
