Welcome back everyone for the seventh season already of this team. Last year we managed to barely finish above the final relegation spot for the second year in a row. since we went quite high on several talents, we did not think this would have happened, before the season started.
Nevertheless, here we are. Before last season, the plan was to sell all non self developed riders over the course of two seasons, and continue only with the self developed guys. We might have to go back to the drawing board with this unexpected turn of events, although our availability post in the next post does still hint at most of the 'bought' riders leaving us.
We won't and can't make any promises on how hard we will go for talents (or not at all) during the upcoming transfer season, as we are perhaps hoping to just continue our stay in PT. One thing is certain: all of you have loved our current jersey since the day it was introduced, so either that will stay, or maybe we will actually find a way to make it even more eye-catching. More news on that soon.
First of all, thank you Heine for this amazing tool. Below you can find the full overview of the team after renewals. Many wages went down, others only went up slightly. So that's good. Eight riders have a yes next to their name. Having a yes means I'm either definitely down to sell/trade, but also doesn't mean that rider will definitely be gone at the end of transfers. Having nothing next to the name doesn't mean they can't go at all costs, but it will be harder to convince me. More info on the eight riders with a yes next to their name can also be found below this table.

Bascially the Haaland of LPH. A GT stage win in every GT he has been to for us, as well as winning the PTHC classic that sealed our survival. He'd do well in any division, but looking at the current DB, he can be the new Coquard in PCT very easily.

Came incredibly close to winning a Vuelta stage (damn you Herklotz), and that on several stages. A great stage racing leader/stage hunter when he has the opportunity for himself, definitely in a lower division or a GT, but also an amazing domestique for an absolute top leader with 81/82+ mtn.

A one season solution for us as part of a trade deal to secure money loaning up a youngster, but perhaps also one of the key reasons we survived. Almost outclimbed Higuita in several races, including a top-5 in a PTHC stage race. Absolutely mental guy for this wage.

The Mongolian time trial champion has his wage, his age, his physique and his prologue on his side. Look up the dictionary and you'll find his picture next to the words 'solid' and 'reliable".

This one does hurt. Our first ever talent, former Mexican champion and a great asset for any CT/PCT or even PT team. But for us, as a leader in PT, it's not enough. Experts call him the 2020 Jerome Baugnies. Baugnies had a wage of 400k, just saying.

Big big big talent. Not saying this guy will 100% certainly leave us, but we definitely have an opening in mind for him, either as part of a direct cash deal, or a trade.

Super chill sprinter talent, even CT maxing him easily. We would love him as a second sprinter next season, but we just have enough sprinters already. Biggest reason selling him is he's one year older when maxing than our other sprinter talents. Amazing value for money.

Similar story to Ulloa to be fair. Depending on how you max him he can also be an amazing points asset in C2 races (even this season) as a PCT team, or just a leader in a CT team. Just make sure to use him to the max when you get him please, because a talent like him deserves it.
