Not nearly as busy a transfer season as in previous years, but at the end every rider that had a chance of moving ended up doing so on a permanent deal. That counts 8 riders in total. We did also loan out 6 riders on temporary deals which is a new team record.
 Logan Currie
Logan completed his development here in the last two years. We were willing to give him an opportunity elsewhere. We found a partner in Lotto-Caloi, in the deal we added a 250k fee to swap for  Jiankun Liu.
 Bachirou Nikiema
Bachirou leaves after signing as a free agent last year. He nicely filled the role of a hilly specialist on our squad, but since that is still a lower priority squad role he was available for a transfer. SEE Turtles found an interest in him so he is headed there for a bigger role and in hopes that he drives to promotion like many recent Cedevita expats have done. We received a 300k fee.
 Pascal Ackermann
One of the best performers from last year Pascal moves on, but lands with another Pro Tour team, the newly promoted team Specialized. The hilly sprinter moves in a cash only deal worth 750k. We didn't find a replacement for him in the market, but we're still looking forward to seeing and chatting with him during the season.
 Martin Papanov
Martin is another free agent signing that is moving one after just a season. With a few climbers finishing their development we felt our mountain depth was a bit better than last year so Martin was available. We found an interesting deal with Duvel-Tsingtao
where we swapped Martin and fee of 225k for a talented young climber in  Max Poole.
Jiankun Liu, Aleks Bechkov
Liu was acquired as a contingency, but after another deal fell through we started exploring the market for moving him. Trans Looney Tunes wanted to improve their sprint options so we found a deal where Liu and Bechkov were swapped for  Jaka Primozic and a fee of 300k.
 Michal Schlegel, Kristjan Hocevar
In a domino effect the addition of Primozic meant that Schlegel became more available than at the start of transfers. In a swap of climbers we packaged both Michal and Kristjan together in a deal with IESE Pro Cycling for Stephen Williams and fee of 650k.
 Mohammad Al Mutaiwei
Mohammad will spend his 2nd professional year on loan this time at IESE Pro Cycling. It's a team that's known for their focus on time-trials so we think this is a perfect fit for him.
Daniel Skerl
Daniel will also have another season on loan. We're sure he'll learn a lot about Hololive and other related things, but the most important thing is he will ride in lots of races for Bacharu Mamachari Faito! this upcoming season.
 Emanuel Zangerle,  Jesus David Pena,  Awet Aman
All of the newly signed level 3 free agents will spend their first season on loan. They won't be short changed for Pro Tour experience though as all of them are joining Polar. It's not common for a single team to take three riders on loan so we very much appreciate manager beagle to allow us this opportunity.
Roman Ermakov
Roman follows in the footsteps of several of our young riders as he joins Trans Looney Tunes on loan. As always we are thankful to our friends in PCT for accommodating our rider.
