Season 52

Written by AnnoDomini at 12:21 15/5-2020

  A mediocre season ended in Div 2 with 1650pts, only 1 win and 8 results.
  
  Majority of points were scored by Gustaw Banas, who with 1 win and 3 results was the best rider on the team. 2nd best was Yannis van Haershot with 360pts and 3 results. Other riders contributing to the points total were Ward Engelbert with 200pts and 1 result, Kajetan Lis with 160pts, Thomas Menard with 60pts and our oldie Orlando Kacciavurian with 50pts.
  
  While the season was not interesting in terms on achievements, it was certainly interesting in terms of riders, staff and new sponsors feature.
  
  Firstly we have completed training of Georg Alfke, who will become our new cobble captain for next several years.
  
  We have sold Dietrich Salter, who is now training in lower div Brazilian team VGNPNX and we have accepted two other trainees into our Young Academy: local rider Kajetan Krawczyk, who will be another addition to our cobble squad, and a Portugeese rider Arnaldo Olaio, who is a promising climber/all rounder.
  
  OUr old Downhiller Orlando expressed his wish to finish his career, but we managed to convince him to stay with the team for a little bit longer, as we still search for a rider to replace him in the DH captain role.
  
  As it comes to the staff, our trainers have finished their 10years contracts and we have to replace them with new ones. Our main areas of development are Climbing, Downhilling and Cobbling, therefore we have hired 3 of our previous riders as trainers who specialize in those areas: Julian Cichocki (CB/FR/TQ), Albert Bednarczyk (DH) and Marceli Urban (CL). We are looking forward to working with them again!
  
  Goals for next season remain the same: develop current talents, find a DH talent and participate in CL, DH and CB races. Whatever life brings us, we will take it and be grateful for every good thing that happens.
  
  Good luck everyone in S53! Keep calm and stay healthy!
