Welcome to all for the fifth season in the history of this team. As was already announced earlier, Los Pollos Hermanos has decided to stop sponsoring the team after four amazing years as our most important partner, including three promotions and one relegation. Belgian-Dutch company Galapagos, who joined as a co-sponsor in our second season, has also made the decision to take a step back and leave the world of cycling.
A first real change of sponsor, and one that still seems a bit weird, even for the manager. Nemolito was a synonym for Los Pollos Hermanos, but that is no longer. Mexican company Oxxo and Colombian fried chicken chain Frisby stepped up to support the team in its second stint as a PT team, with Mexican state Queretaro also giving us a few pesos, hopefully in exchange for an increase in their tourism. Brazilian clothing sponsor Kirschner continues to back the team for the fifth year in a row.
The team has had two jerseys in their first four seasons, made by the_hoyle and hillis91. Most of the people have absolutely loved the extravagancy and creativity of the jerseys, so that absolutely had to come back with our new sponsors/jersey as well. As can seen below, the new jersey plays into that creativity by making the Oxxo-sponsor in a game of tic-tac-toe, while also showing of some national colours and symbols of our different sponsors. The red and yellow as main background colours are a clear throwback to the first jersey of the team, as can be seen in the spoiler below. We realize people were crazy about our other previous jersey as well, so of course we included that one for one more time as well. A big thank you to the amazing Ezeefreak for the creation of this new jersey.

Finally a good looking jersey?! 
Reminds me a bit of the very first LPH shirt

The tic tac toe jersey design is really cool!

I love the jersey, especially those sugar skulls on the pants!

Well that's just a beautiful kit, another triumph by Ezee!
I see you had Baugnies back in the 2020 season, looks like he must've given you some joy as he did for me in 2018-19, with those results. Good luck this upcoming season |

Been waiting for the day you have a bearable jersey, and Ezee has delivered not only that but a very cool looking one! Love it, jury is still out on those shorts though 
Feels weird to think of ourselves as in the same stratosphere in the 2023 PCT but I guess we did promote together  Excited to do battle again this season, hopefully I can get a bit closer to your points total this time. Expecting some more training for my guy Higuita and then a completely different schedule to Areruya please

Wow, I'm actually surprised to find out that I like your new jersey Only the jersey, though
Looking forward to see what happens to your team legends now with the new sponsors - will surely be an interesting transfer season! Good luck, and nice to be riding alongside you for another season

I am surprised this "normal" design was chosen also  There were other options too 
Anyway, you're comming from an incredible season so hopefully this will transfer for you into the PT season and you can have season without struggling. Buit you build a strong core so I am positive.

Thank you for the nice comments all. I honestly feel strange having people say they like the team's jersey, not used to that I can tell you I'd indeed love to train Higuita if it's a smart move (remains to be soon how transfers go etc.), whereas it's also nice to see a former manager of Baugnies is back in the game
Leveling up and generally having a good season with some surprise wins and overperformances comes at a prize, as can be seen below. As can also be seen, we will be trying to de-Europeanize our squad a bit with possible departures of the cobbling squad and almighty Matti first, and perhaps our time trialists as well. Too early to make any sales pitches about the riders yet, but their stats, ppwage and in Matti's case total sprint domination of the last four years should speak for itself. | Nat. | Name | 2023 Wage | 2024 Wage | Difference | Available? | | Marlen Zmorka | 400.000 | 475.000 | + 75.000 | Unlikely |  | Matti Manninen | 400.000 | 410.000 | + 10.000 | Yes |  | Sergio Higuita | 500.000 | 475.000 | - 25.000 | No |  | Orluis Aular | 300.000 | 265.000 | - 35.000 | No |  | Ruben Zepuntke | 150.000 | 170.000 | + 20.000 | Yes | | Jasha Sütterlin | 105.000 | 150.000 | + 45.000 | Unlikely |  | Luis Enrique Lopez Nolasco | 60.000 | 110.000 | + 50.000 | Unlikely | | Alejandro Osorio | 80.000 | 90.000 | + 10.000 | No |  | Jose Gerardo Ulloa | 75.000 | 75.000 | - | Unlikely |  | Beka Nareklishvili | 50.000 | 70.000 | + 20.000 | Yes |  | Guillermo Andres Beltran | 50.000 | 60.000 | + 10.000 | No |  | Luca Sterbini | 50.000 | 64.000 | + 14.000 | Unlikely | | Yesid Albeiro Pira | 50.000 | 50.000 | - | Unlikely | | Victor Alejandro Ocampo | 50.000 | 50.000 | - | No | | Jose Pablo Aguilar Mendez | 50.000 | 50.000 | - | No | | Oscar Samuel Galvan Ramirez | 50.000 | 50.000 | - | No |  | Fatiu Abolaji | 50.000 | 50.000 | - | Unlikely |  | Robinson Steven Ruiz | 50.000 | 70.000 | + 20.000 | No |

Some pretty greedy guys you have there At least your PCT domination came at a certain cost 
Maybe will try to help you get rid of one of your big wage guys, we'll see what we can do about that

Looks like you'll have at least a little bit of fun with sales in transfers Either way, I think you're in extremely good shape for your second PT adventure to end (or rather, continue) much better than your first. As always, I got my fingers crossed for your

It's just a very stable setup that the Frisbies have right now. It shouldn't be that hard to move in any sort of direction you want in the coming transfers.

I like your new jersey (no surprise with Ezee doing it), though it seemed a bit conventional at first - but then came the shorts! I'm sure you remember the love I gave your old jersey too (in form of a discount) when I contact you in transfers, there's at least one rider who's interesting for us

Zmorka with a MASSIVE HUMONGOUS wage increase and he is unlikely to leave? Now that is hogwash !!

Points-wise I think we could do better this time, but it remains to be seen if we can actually stay in. Still some busy transfer days/weeks to come and see what we can gather

It's always easy and fine in my head with a clear plan, until the moment actually arrives and everything goes differently than you hoped for
Up to you to change it to a Yes

You are indeed one of the only ones that recognized true class in the previous jersey. Just for that you are allowed any rider from my team you want.

Unlikely to leave... to any other team than Zjalgiris.

Lots of raises, but hard to argue with the results that demanded them. Moving on from Manninen will be interesting.
