Choi has been a rock for us in the mountains for the past couple of seasons, breaking the individual points record for the team in 2023. His time at the top is unfortunately coming to an end and we believe this is the best chance for him to find a new team.

Vesely also had an exceptional season last time around, achieving yet another record points haul, this time for sprinters in our squad. While we don't mind keeping him around for another season, we do have some other targets we'd like to pursue in his place.

Carboni did not get a lot of leadership chances with us, but he never finished outside the Top 10 when he did! He should be an excellent asset for both PCT and CT for hybrid and mountain races. The advent of a maxed Leemreize deems him available for a move away from us.

Kozhatayev is another rider we don't mind keeping around, but we believe we have enough cover to allow him look for better opportunities elsewhere. He was an excellent domestique last season in three terrains - mountains, hills and cobbles, and should be a useful rider in any division.

Ringheim was a revelation in the first half of last season, regularly beating out stronger cobbles riders for high placings! His decline makes him less useful for us, but he is still leadership quality for CT teams and an excellent second cobbles option for others.

Havik is a handy rider to have for the flats, cobbles and the leadout, and he contributed in each area for us last season. With the rise of Kooistra and the impending improvements for Alben, we feel he is surplus to requirements.

Tratnik might have already lost some of his powers, but he is a solid domestique on the hills and can even contribute on the mountains in a long train. We are looking to have him transfer to a team where he can contribute more effectively with his current skillsets.

The idea is to sell these guys as long as we can get replacements. Ahmad Zamri is definitely more available than Jungels, for the simple reason that it is much harder to get a top TTer (or two) in transfers than a stage racing domestique.

We are looking to loan out Hoole and John to PT, so that they can complete their development. Hoole should be a useful contributor on the cobbles and for TTTs, while John is a decent stage racing domestique, who will also shore up the TTT unit.
