Very impressive age balance so far. Obviousl quite a few boomers that will decline going into the next year, but promotion does look like an outcome that won't be too far fetched and a clean slate in PCT is never a bad thing!
@jandal: cheers brother
@Caspi, Nemolito, redordead: yeah we know there are flaws, but we had to pull the trigger on the chance he does really well, and we hope to have brought in good support
@kandesbunzler: yeah they are the coolest riders, hopefully pcm treats them right
@knockout: good to hear from a winner
@seancoll: thank you for the flowers, but it was mostly freestyling. I hope focusing on specific rider types works.
@Blasing: hope he does well, but the other German CT team outsmarted me for a number of riders and you managed to outbid me on Yates.
@whitejersey: we are just old but all our young targets got overbid, and age may hopefully be just a number
In other terms...HERE WE GO!
Thanks to Bjartne we have a beautiful jersey for the year.
I really like the squad you have built here. Seem to be a clear type of riders you have been looking for and should be a fun squad to follow this season! I really like the Quita pickup!
Love every signing you've made, just collecting cool riders with awesome statlines. Super excited to follow the team this year, and you should have a lot of fun in planning too!

Hilly sprinters are always more hit and miss than some other riders, but stacking them together in the right race can deliver a big return.
I guess you not only doubled, but tripled down on the hilly sprinters
Quita and Oliveira in the same team is crazy! Ultimately I don't think there is enough race coverage here to contend for promotion, but I expect some huge points totals in the right races
