[PCT23] Los Pollos Hermanos
Nemolito
Welcome to all once again for the fourth season in the history of this team. As was already announced earlier, Los Pollos Hermanos has decided to stay on as our main sponsor for at least one more season. During our second season the Belgian-Dutch company Galapagos joined as a co-sponsor, and they have also announced to stay on for at least one more season.

During our first two seasons our main jersey stayed exactly the same, to be drastically changed in our previous season. Master jersey creator hillis made the exact jersey we had been hoping for, and this season we will also be using the same jersey. Brazilian clothing sponsor Kirschner have also extended their contract for their fourth year, as can be seen on the shirts as well.

After promoting from CT to PT in two seasons, our first season in PT went tougher than what we were used to. Some lovely newcomers such as German cult hero Ruben Zepuntke from Minions, Dutch puncheur sweetheart Wilco Kelderman from Philips/Sony and German time trialist Jasha Sütterlin from Puma were not enough to keep us afloat. In general most of our riders performed okay, but just not enough to stay in the world's best division. Nevertheless, with around 500k wage cap remaining at the start of the season and quite some talents, we never expected to really stay in. We wanted to prepare for a possible back to back promotion.

Soon we will be able to give more information about how our renewals went, and whether we indeed have a team that could be ready to promote again. However, rumours say the team's management is losing interest in the Dutch/Belgian/European region again, and might be more interested in the regional aspect of cycling rather than only going for glory. Sometimes rumours are just rumours, sometimes they are true. With transfer season approaching, we'll find out quickly what will happen with Los Pollos Hermanos this season, and the seasons to come.

I am guessing the team will look pretty promotion-ready post-renewals with Zmorka and Mannien still strong.

But with those great riders taking all the headlines seems like it has been a struggle for South Americans to get a lot of chances.

A slightly sad welcome back to PCT, as I had my fingers crossed for you to make it in PT, and even if it wasn't super close in the final standings, I think the squad had the potential if a few things had broken the right way. With that said, I agree with UU that you're very well set-up for this second time in PCT. Hopefully your plans for transfers pan out the way you want them to!
 
Fabianski
Echoing cunego, sad to see you relegate, but happy to be riding in the same division as you for another year, before you'll go back to PT Smile

Good luck for transfers, and who knows, maybe we'll actually do some negotiating instead of just chatting for once? Wink

Another season of my eyes hurting Grin But besides this monstruisity of a shirt design (which is solely the fault of the manager not the shirt maker!!!!!)
I wish you best luck in being able to build and compate like you imagine. I will watch some of your riders closely Wink

Truer words have never been said!! AAAHHHHHHHHHH Shock

Think you have a great team to have a bounce-back season to PT. Will be following closely as always Smile Very much looking forward to racing against you all season long, although our race choices might not be exactly coinciding.

Second best jersey in the game (after ours obviously). This is the year Zepuntke will win every race he enters, I can feel it. The lord and savior will personally bring you back to the ProTour

First of all, thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I know the haters of the jersey are just pretending and actually love it. It's the same with how Zepuntke is being treated by some people. Below you can find how our renewals went. I think it's clear that with this availability list we try to make sure to become more of a regional (latin-american) team than we are now (although I wouldn't exactly say we're not regional at all of course). It will be hard letting talents like Hoole or Walls go though, so we'll see if it comes to that and what offers come in later. Most notable name not renewed is Keizer, apart from that mostly stags.

2/3 riders are absolute steals on 400k Grin
The team looks pretty settled already, but a few moves around the edges should have you on course for PT again Smile

Is that THE Matti Manninen available that I see!?! I don't know if I can resist that prospect... quite possible that we'll be talking over transfers! Quite surprised that you're aiming to make any moves whatsoever, as this looks like a team that could quite easily bounce straight back up.

We'll definitely be in touch early on in transfers, there's a few names of interest there.
 
TheManxMissile
I'd have thought you'd be keeping more of the top of the roster together to run it back to the PT. But sure, go sweep up a couple of South American leaders instead, i'm certain you'll still be in promotion contention.

As others have said, this could be a promotion roster if you wanted to keep it together, but since you don't seem to, I'm very excited for your transfers, and you know we'll talk Smile I appreciate the special love for Ulloa, too. We all need one or two riders like that on our teams!
 
AbhishekLFC
Well you definitely got everyone's attention with that availability list Pfft

Look forward to the (mini) rebuild and how far you can go towards being a more region focused team. Also hope Oscar has a nice time for you after his useful first season with us Smile
 
knockout
Wow. And suddenly your team goes from a fairly boring transfer season to a team that's definitely one to watch. Probably still the wrong riders available for me to somehow be properly interested in any moves but wish you all the best for transfers.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters!
