Aranburu is looking very nice! I feel like that resistance will be very useful for a hybrid style rider. Also don't mind me looking jealously at Kämna.
I hope so. He's got a huge engine and there's a lot that can be done with him. Never really had anyone like him, so will be interesting to plan!
As for Kamna, I can understand why you're jealous. Guy has to the potential to be a real beast. Unfortunately, he's about as untouchable as it gets at this point. I got about as good of an offer as was possibly fair for him last year, from a manager with top level interest, and I said no. That was basically like signing him to a 10 year deal with a no transfer clause.
Didn't realize you've got so much talent out on loan... I guess - if renewals go well - you'll have a great base to build up on for staying in PCT this time! And who knows, maybe even AKA will work out better one division higher?

Perks of the 2019 transfer season, which had me relegate, but also got me quite a bit of future talent. Hopefully it starts to pay off now.
Lots of decisions to be made of course on who is still valuable in their role at the next level. I certainly don't expect AKA to ride better in an absolute results sense at the PCT level, but my hope is that it is possible for him to have moderate success as a second tier guy. In that way, he may be a better value in terms of leadership and race days, just getting results without being a favorite.
