Very impressive age balance so far. Obviousl quite a few boomers that will decline going into the next year, but promotion does look like an outcome that won't be too far fetched and a clean slate in PCT is never a bad thing!

@jandal: cheers brother
@Caspi, Nemolito, redordead: yeah we know there are flaws, but we had to pull the trigger on the chance he does really well, and we hope to have brought in good support
@kandesbunzler: yeah they are the coolest riders, hopefully pcm treats them right
@knockout: good to hear from a winner
@seancoll: thank you for the flowers, but it was mostly freestyling. I hope focusing on specific rider types works.
@Blasing: hope he does well, but the other German CT team outsmarted me for a number of riders and you managed to outbid me on Yates.
@whitejersey: we are just old  but all our young targets got overbid, and age may hopefully be just a number
In other terms...HERE WE GO!
Thanks to Bjartne we have a beautiful jersey for the year.

I really like the squad you have built here. Seem to be a clear type of riders you have been looking for and should be a fun squad to follow this season! I really like the Quita pickup!

Quita is a really strong leader for CT. I expect him to be a force this season, especially with all that support behind him.

Love every signing you've made, just collecting cool riders with awesome statlines. Super excited to follow the team this year, and you should have a lot of fun in planning too!

Hilly sprinters are always more hit and miss than some other riders, but stacking them together in the right race can deliver a big return.
I guess you not only doubled, but tripled down on the hilly sprinters 
Quita and Oliveira in the same team is crazy! Ultimately I don't think there is enough race coverage here to contend for promotion, but I expect some huge points totals in the right races

You've put together a nice squad for the cobbles and the hills which should make for a fun season at least! And with two former riders of mine in Russo and Oliveira as well as Loulergue loaned in I'll clearly cheer for you!
Also the jersey looks really nice!

@Heine, baseballlover: Thank you, he was my priority if I couldn't get Madouas (delusional!). Hope he does well in my goal races.
@jandal: I hope so, planning was hard but I hope it's alright. Tough when having no riders for 2 types of races.
@redordead: you made it tough to sign them, but got there in the end. But you are right, not enough hilly Race days. Still they should be good together.
@kandesbunzler: yes I hope they do well. My cobblers, as my full team, are old, but all hill riders have more to give. I think Russo can do well both as leadout but also with the chances for himself.
Speaking of our riders, we signed 4 cool NCs. Coincidentally, it may be our 3 captains and Batman. Will we get all of our wins in NC shirts?
Batman
Kamberaj
Wisniowski
Quita
