Seems like you had your timeline in order pretty well. Promotion last year was a great way to ensure you could make the long terms commitment to your project without risking losing it by falling to CT, so I think you're in perfect shape. Yes, you'll relegate, but in 3-5 years you will be a powerhouse.

Going to enjoy you relegating now because you're going to be a nightmare to face pretty soon!

Could be a long season but you had a goal in mind and I would say that's been achieved with the talents you've brought in to ensure a bright future! You can be sure I'll come to you at some stage for your Australian talent but until then, I hope you look after him well
I'm prepared to cherish every top 10 from a breakaway this season (as well as those less fluky results in cobbles races and maybe some GCs), be sure about that! But be not so sure about the readiness of trading away Rogers as I really like his maxed statline!
Martinez, Vauquelin and Gregoire will be a nasty trio very soon, and Isidore is an incredible signing to join them in a few years. I think you've set up your timeline perfectly to truly establish yourself in PT in two years (or three at the latest). Take good care of Verstrynge, I hope he'll do well for you
The timeline is the main reason why I decided to sacrifice this season. If Martinez and Gregoire wouldn't already be able to lead in PCT next season this transfers would have gone quite different (and Heine would have needed to look at a second team for leaders ). Also don't miss Louvel in your list (so Verstrynge still has a leader for next season), there are some training hints in between there
If a PT team scores less than the PCT teams, can they relegate directly to CT?
I just remembered the words of a wise man from some years ago: "I really like this team. But its not a good one. This team is built to look good in a "2027 roster preview" picture with many young exciting talents" and used them as my guideline

I'm really looking forward to the future, especially with a set of 3-5 PT ready local leaders for quite some years to come!
