In all seriousness, that team is still a definite title and podium contender. Amazing to see, especially with del Grosso included as a future world class rider. Congratulations! I tip my hat  |

Not looking forward to facing Vermeersch this season, but I figured he'd be a 80 CB guy somewhere in PT

Agree that this is still a top 5 team and title contender. Not quite as insane as last year with PHL and Foss gone, but still a top top team with even more depth and sustainability.

Once again a well built squad from you. With the future in Del Grosso aswell!
MAL is ofc great, Kemboi one of my favorite sprinters with that prl and Vermeersch with training will be fantastic...
TGH, Plapp and Eenkhoorn is a very good GC trio and do I spot a TTT team there?
I wont really have control before seeing the post-transfers DB, but a team that should once again challenge at the top of the PT
Also I hope you let Kluckers hit FA next year so he can join me

I dont think you want to worry about a potential FA bidding war for kluckers! If anything, i might be willing to let him go for a generous donation...

With the final transfer news of our transfer window, Evonik - ELKO announces that they signed Andrei Stepanov to a developmental scholarship. Stepanov will spent the season with development team Saubea to gain experience in several C2 races and it is expected that he joins our main team for the 2027 season.
Stepanov is a rouleur who loves medium mountains. He has good attacking stats and should be a valuable domestique at any level.

Despite the big sale, the team is still well set up to challenge on every terrain, even including TTs! Should be a podium contender for sure, with the future also addressed in this off-season.

Still really really really like this team in the here and now, pretty amazing job you did starting a rebuild while still remaining at the very least a podium favourite in the division. Just have a good feeling about this year for you still, I don't know As you say will be a super fun season for you and hopefully a memorable one.
