@jandal: Why thankyou! Indonesia and NZ aren't really that far apart, Firdaus taking a 12-month excursion to Auckland certainly isn't off the cards 
@Fab: Look forward to it! And you never know, never say never
@redordead: Oh definitely, more than happy with that especially considering the training.
@Nemo: Thank you! I think he would like that A year being mentored by the Ukrainian TT god does sound good. We'll see about the promotion potential this time in a few weeks, i'm not so sure
@ Bikex: Thanks! It took a while to build it up, and it definitely felt like a slog the first few seasons. Being able to have 12/17 riders on our roster be from our home country is a good feeling and hopefully we can continue it into the future. I think building a Thai stage racing/TTT core around Mano (unless he wants to visit Indonesia sometime soon  ) and Chaiyasombat would be possible and make Thailand a formidable nation in SE Asia for sure.
2023 was a year that saw a number of our young Indonesian riders take another step in their developments
 Muhammad Yudha | Age: 25 | Puncheur | lvl 4 -> max |
| FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | | 69 | 69 | 75 | 66 | 74 | 72 | 70 | 55 | 65 | 73 | 72 | 68 | 67 |

Yudha spent his last season of development at now defunct PT outfit Binance. He spent his season supporting big names like Justo Tenorio and Michal Kwiatkowski, and even riding a grand tour. He returns to Indonesia with stronger, and with some unique experiences he can hopefully pass on to his teammates. He'll be a great support for our leaders throughout the season in any races where the road goes up.
| Prasetyo Firdaus | Age: 23 | Time Trialist | lvl 1 -> 3 |
| FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | | 71 | 59 | 58 | 73 | 70 | 67 | 72 | 60 | 67 | 69 | 59 | 71 | 73 |

Prasetyo Firdaus took a big leap in his development this past season, where he also managed to score a decent 57 points as a measly neo-pro. He will be a part of our TTT setup this season, and will be an integral member of our team going forward.
| Ahmad Firdaus | Age: 24 | Stage racer | lvl 3 -> 4 |
| FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | | 69 | 75 | 72 | 73 | 71 | 74 | 76 | 54 | 62 | 71 | 77 | 74 | 73 |

Ahmad Firdaus took another major step forward in his development, capped off with a great performance at the 2023 Tour d' Avenir. He has been following Eddie Dunbar's training regime almost to a tee and aspires to hopefully follow somewhat in his footsteps as the future leader of the team. He is also looking for a PT Loan, and is very keen to negotiate his new temporary home for this season.
| Rachmad Noka Wibisono | Age: 25 | Stage racer | lvl 3-4 |
| FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | | 70 | 73 | 71 | 74 | 72 | 74 | 73 | 55 | 59 | 69 | 74 | 65 | 74 |

Wibisono had a quiet season in 2023 and made up part of our stage racing team. Like A. Firdaus, he'll also be after a PT Loan to finish his development. He's already a decently handy GC rider and can also slot into a TTT squad on a whim. Along with Firdaus, he'll make up a large part our stage racing core for years to come.
