Great pickup with Robov. Was for a very long time on my list of riders I wanted a H2H Silent Auction for. Decided against it in the end, but a great pick indeed!
Overall the team looks very solid, and while teasing you a bit during the off season regarding Lutsenko, I'm mostly just happy that you took him out of the division

That TT top-end and depth is pretty scary. Thankfully, we're avoiding most of the TT races this year, so hopefully we won't be across the Zalgiris monster-squad too much except where Lutsenko is dominating. Good luck this season

Very cool that Lutsenko ended up with you. I hope he tears PCT apart for you and then maybe promotion could be the result.
Also impressive how you managed to get so many strong Lithuanians into the game. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with Rokas!  |

Some cool additions with Varga and Sitchinava who were both high on my list. Especially Varga is a real steal on that wage.
I can't compare yet with the other PCT teams, but the leaders are definitely on point to aim high this year.
All fax

Will TT domination and Lutsenko be enough to aim for promotion? I'm not so sure yet, but at least I can finally cheer for the first Kmieliauskas (and thus former loanee) win!
I should know whether Kmieliauskas has won a race already, but somehow I don't (I do think he won a stage last year)

Varga on 60k is bonkers. Looking forward to see how well Kmieliauskas will perform
If Varga can get 300+ points again, then it will be bonkers indeed

Thanks for taking care of Dalby, and hope Olesen ends up working well for you too. May they both finish the year blessed.
Unfortunately loaned in riders are not guaranteed to be #blessed, but it is certainly possible. Worked for Remco

Well, you certainly would've gotten Robov, I am completely spent. I will be laughing my ass to the bank next year when I sell Lutsenko for 100k

Stay out of my territory. Smart

A lil wee cry always helps when it comes to talents

Your roster just keeps getting better and better every season, but I can't cheer on Lutsenko for obvious reasons lol

With season almost over and promotion imminent, we can take a look at the riders who will be contributors in 2027 when Zalgiris gets relegated back to PCT (maxed stats done with new statgains, may be errors)
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age |  | M. Gajdulewicz | 66 | 69 | 68 | 67 | 57 | 67 | 67 | 71 | 59 | 58 | 64 | 67 | 68 | 61 | 22 |  | M. Gajdulewicz | 66 | 72 | 71 | 70 | 57 | 67 | 69 | 73 | 59 | 58 | 67 | 70 | 68 | 61 | 2026 |  | M. Gajdulewicz | 69 | 76 | 74 | 71 | 57 | 70 | 73 | 74 | 60 | 58 | 69 | 75 | 73 | 61 | Maxed |
Starting with the youngest, Gajdulewicz will just be a nice 50k helper for Lasinis or whoever will end up being the stage race leader
---
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age |  | Karlis Klismets | 66 | 68 | 68 | 67 | 65 | 70 | 66 | 68 | 55 | 57 | 61 | 65 | 70 | 64 | 22 |  | Karlis Klismets | 66 | 71 | 70 | 69 | 68 | 72 | 68 | 71 | 55 | 57 | 61 | 65 | 70 | 67 | 2026 |  | Karlis Klismets | 68 | 75 | 73 | 71 | 71 | 76 | 71 | 74 | 55 | 57 | 62 | 66 | 70 | 70 | Maxed |
Another mountain helper, but of slightly different ilk. Will be helping out in TTTs as well and probably the very last one in pecking order.
---
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age |  | Olegas Ivanovas | 72 | 57 | 59 | 61 | 63 | 72 | 70 | 68 | 73 | 67 | 71 | 71 | 62 | 62 | 23 |  | Olegas Ivanovas | 74 | 57 | 60 | 62 | 63 | 74 | 72 | 69 | 76 | 69 | 72 | 72 | 63 | 62 | 2026 |  | Olegas Ivanovas | 76 | 57 | 61 | 63 | 63 | 76 | 73 | 70 | 78 | 70 | 73 | 74 | 63 | 62 | Maxed |
Most likely the next Lithuanian star. A great candidate for future training. Should be useful next year too (PS. Classics at pot 5 is just a straight up upgrade on Cobbles, worth taking a look at)
---
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age |  | K. Belohvosciks | 73 | 60 | 61 | 62 | 70 | 71 | 73 | 67 | 62 | 61 | 68 | 69 | 65 | 75 | 23 |  | K. Belohvosciks | 75 | 60 | 62 | 63 | 72 | 73 | 74 | 69 | 62 | 63 | 69 | 69 | 65 | 77 | 2026 |  | K. Belohvosciks | 77 | 60 | 62 | 63 | 74 | 74 | 75 | 70 | 62 | 64 | 70 | 69 | 65 | 79 | Maxed |
Will probably still be next to useless next year, but viability will jump high once maxed.

| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age |  | Nika Sitchinava | 71 | 69 | 69 | 69 | 70 | 74 | 71 | 71 | 69 | 69 | 70 | 74 | 72 | 70 | 23 |  | Nika Sitchinava | 73 | 69 | 70 | 70 | 70 | 76 | 73 | 72 | 71 | 71 | 70 | 74 | 72 | 70 | 2026 |  | Nika Sitchinava | 74 | 71 | 71 | 70 | 70 | 77 | 75 | 73 | 71 | 71 | 71 | 76 | 74 | 70 | Maxed |
A cool fellow. Will either be a perennial 0 point scorer or will be pulling wins out of his ass once in a while.

| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age |  | Aivaras Mikutis | 71 | 68 | 71 | 73 | 72 | 68 | 72 | 68 | 71 | 60 | 72 | 68 | 60 | 72 | 23 |  | Aivaras Mikutis | 71 | 70 | 72 | 74 | 74 | 69 | 73 | 70 | 71 | 60 | 72 | 68 | 60 | 74 | 2026 |  | Aivaras Mikutis | 71 | 71 | 73 | 74 | 75 | 70 | 74 | 71 | 71 | 60 | 72 | 68 | 60 | 75 | Maxed |
Still mad about pot 1. Such low stamina means it's a waste of money to train him. What a shame
---
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age |  | Maksym Bilyi | 67 | 73 | 71 | 69 | 73 | 73 | 71 | 70 | 60 | 62 | 67 | 69 | 71 | 73 | 24 |  | Maksym Bilyi | 67 | 75 | 73 | 70 | 75 | 74 | 72 | 72 | 60 | 62 | 67 | 69 | 71 | 75 | 2026 |
A fine TTT piece. Most likely a tiny cash cow.
---
| Nat. | Name | FL | MO | MM | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FG | DH | PR | Age |  | Gustas Raugala | 72 | 68 | 69 | 69 | 73 | 70 | 73 | 67 | 54 | 58 | 65 | 66 | 71 | 74 | 24 |  | Gustas Raugala | 72 | 70 | 70 | 70 | 75 | 71 | 74 | 69 | 54 | 58 | 65 | 66 | 71 | 76 | 2026 |
A straight downgrade from Bilyi, but we gotta try to keep all the Lithuanians as possible, so a lot less likely to go.

Although there's no world-beater among those talents they're still a bunch of useful regional riders.

Cool batch. Bilyi is a very interesting U25 rider at PT level, so if you can't make him a cashcow I'm sure you'll end up being pretty happy about keeping him! He could well be one of those 150-200 pts riders that everyone loves having for a low wage.

I agree with both !!!
CAMPIONES
In the year of the baltics, Zalgiris has finally done and won PCT outright. Reward for such an achievement will be the first ever relegation for the team

Kmieliauskas has understandably lead the way for Zalgiris this year, with Legendary Lutsenko not far behind. Making it to PT with Lithuanian as a top rider has always been the goal and very happy to have achieved that. Tediashvili was also in top top form in spring, big season for him. Varga did his thing this year as well. Shout-out to Bilyi for making to 100 points as a mediocre unmaxed rider. Beka goes to wall of shame

Congrats on promotion! Looks like Olesen ended up being a decent piece for you for a last minute swap.
