Review Season 35

Written by Cyclists at 14:28 4/3-2016

  Pointswise, Season 35 was just a little bit worse than Season 34. Also resultswise, Season 34 was just better than last season. However, this doesn't mean that the whole season was very bad. For example, Chad Talkington took our first result in Division 2: A 7th place in the GC of Volta ao Porto. Besides, the goal was to train Bohdan Krejza. He has still not maxed at an average of 50, and he has now already one of the highest HL-stats in the game (92). Furthermore, the management decided to sell Chad Talkington to fund the training of Bohdan. Luckily, he has found a nice new home at sivac, where he will hopefully spend his last time before retiring.
  
  Results and Top 9's:
  
  Alfons van Steensel
  1.: Judenburg Climbs, Div. 3
  2.: Epuyén Climbs, Div. 2
  2.: Pasto - Ipiales, Div. 3
  3.: Øyer Climbs, Div. 3
  4.: Salt Lake City GP, Div. 2
  5.: Porto GP, Div. 2
  5.: Salles-sur-Verdon G3, Div. 3
  7.: Grejs Løbet, Div. 2
  8.: Bergen - Bergen, Div. 2
  8.: Monaco - La Condamine, Div. 3
  
  Prize Money / Points: $88.000 / 640 p.
  
  Nikifor Trzciński
  3.: Monaco - La Condamine, Div. 3
  
  Prize Money / Points: $10.000 / 60 p.
  
  Bohdan Krejza

  Prize Money / Points: $6.000 / 30 p.
  
  Chad Talkington
  7.: Aveiro - Penamacor, Div. 2
  
  7.: Volta ao Porto, Div. 2
  
  Prize Money / Points: $9.000 / 70 p.
  
  New riders: Bing Kelderman Jobber
  
  Outgoing riders: Chad Talkington To sivac
  
  Historical Overview:
   Season 21: 60
   Season 22: 176 (+116, +193%)
   Season 23: 343 (+167, +95%)
   Season 24: 283 (-60, -17%)
   Season 25: 249 (-34, -12%)
   Season 26: 476 (+227, +91%)
   Season 27: 291 (-185, -39%)
   Season 28: 268 (-23, -8%)
   Season 29: 303 (+35, +13%)
   Season 30: 398 (+95, +31%)
   Season 31: 436 (+38, +10%)
   Season 32: 608 (+172, +39%)
   Season 33: 639 (+31, +5%)
   Season 34: 848 (+209, +33%)
   Season 35: 800 (-48, -6%)
  
  Goals for Season 36:
  
  Next season, Bohdan Krejza will probably max. At the same moment, most of the climbing team, with the exception of Alfons van Steensel, Bohdan Krejza and Nikifor Trzcinski, will be 30 or older at the end of the season. Therefore, we will start looking out for a younger rider. Don't know yet whether it will be a new CL-talent or a trained rider.
  
  This season, we will try to join at least two tours. Giro di Montelbano (HL-stage for Bohdan) and Norway Tour (GC with Alfons) fit perfectly in the scheme for the first half of the season. We will try to get in and hope for some results. Later in the season, VCK Classic would be a nice goal for Bohdan to conquer this season.
